Textile Flame Retardants Market - Global Industry Analysis

Global Textile Flame Retardants Market: Overview

Flame retardants are used in several applications, including industrial purposes, transportation, and defense. Textiles play a vital role in day to day life. Therefore, the easy flammability of textiles is one of the major factors that lead to the innovation of textile flame retardants. Additives in the flame retardants can delay or suppress the spread of flame and protect further combustion. Flame retardants stop the spread of fire by increasing the escape time owing to their flame retardant properties.

Global Textile Flame Retardants Market: Growth Factors

The growing fire incidents in everyday life are igniting the demand for flame retardants globally. The surge in the incidences of flammability due to electric shocks, particularly in the residential sector, is likely to urge heavily for textile flame retardants to stop the spread of fire. According to the latest study, the deposits of biomacromolecules on synthetic substrates like polyester, cotton, and others have revealed considerable flame retardant features. Also, there is a significant spike in demand for nylon blended and cellulosic fibers in the textile sector. The widening scope of such fibers, along with the inclining preference for the products possessing fire-resisting properties, is likely to create several lucrative growth opportunities in the global textile flame retardants market over the forecast period. However, the majority of fire incidents happen in homes, particularly affecting clothes, bedding mattresses, and others. Fire safety has emerged as a primary concern for the government all around the globe. Flame retardants are complemented in fabrics to comply with the fire safety standard mandates and also to withstand fire tests. For instance, the UK holds the highest standards of fire safety in the world. As a result, the country was able to lower the number of deaths caused due to fire by over two-thirds. In addition, the post-Covid market landscape is likely to pose huge demand for textile flame retardants as the majority of the industries are likely to resume their operations after lockdown.

Global Textile Flame Retardants Market: Segmentation

The global textile flame retardants market can be segmented into technology, end-user, type, application, product, and region.

By technology, the market can be segmented into foam coating, printing, praying, dying, and others. The dying segment can further be bifurcated into back coating and padding. The back coating technology dominates the global textile flame retardants market, where a wide range of chemicals is used in coating formulation in reference to the nature of the polymer.

By end-user, the market can be segmented into household, transportation, public safety services, defense, industrial, and others. The industrial segment accounts for the largest share in the global market. The industrial end-user segment includes manufacturing construction, oil & gas, chemical, and mining. The staff in these mentioned sectors is highly exposed to fire incidents, particularly in welding, cutting, and nailing jobs. Therefore, they pose a high requirement for fire-resistant fabrics. In the defense sector, the clothing system, including helmets, comprising body armor, ballistic protection system, and nuclear over suits, are highly being adopted for fire protection.

By type, the market can be segmented into nondurable, semi-durable, and durable.

By application, the market can be segmented into polypropylene, PVC, polyurethane, nylon 6,6, nylon, viscose, cotton, polyester, and others.

By product, the market can be segmented into non-halogenated and halogenated. The non-halogenated segment can further be bifurcated into organophosphorus, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, and others. The halogenated segment can further be bifurcated into boron-based, antimony oxide, chlorinated, brominated, and others.

Global Textile Flame Retardants Market: Regional analysis

Asia Pacific accounts for the largest share in the global textile flame retardants market due to the growing investments in the textile sector, particularly in growing economies like India and China. Also, the growing mandates and safety standards in the region are likely to further support the growth of the regional market. The government is compelling manufacturers to focus on using eco-friendly materials in the process as a considerable amount of fire retardant fabrics are exported to international countries. The availability of cheap labor and low cost of raw materials, along with the growing interest of mining organizations to widen their business is likely to drive the growth of the regional market exponentially over the forecasted period.

Europe is expected to register significant growth over the forecasted period due to the presence of a strong industrial base and growing consumption of textile flame retardants, particularly in the transportation segment.
