The Global Organophosphorus Flame Retardant Market report provides a holistic evaluation of the market. The report offers comprehensive analysis of key segments, trends, drivers, restraints, competitive landscape, and factors that are playing a substantial role in the market.

Global Organophosphorus Flame Retardant Market Definition

Flame retardants are compounds that, when added to materials such as electrical devices, plastics products, or construction materials, delay the production of flames to limit fire spread. There are various types of flame retardants such as aluminum trihydrate, antimony oxides, brominated flame retardant, chlorinated flame retardant, organophosphorus flame retardants (OPFRs), and other flame retardant chemicals. Organophosphorus flame retardants are used as additives in plasticizers, foams, hydraulic fluids, anti-foam agents, and coatings for electronic components/devices to inhibit flames.

Usage of the flame retardant market is increasing in the electronic industry due to decreasing the flammability of combustible substances. Some of the primary end-user applications of the flame retardant market include building & construction, electronics, automotive & transportation, wires & cables, textiles & other applications.

Global Organophosphorus Flame Retardant Market Overview

The flame retardant market’s significant factors are massive demand from emerging economies, technological advancement, increased security measures, and the new regulatory guidelines for decreasing toxic chemicals. The growth in automotive, construction and other major end-use industries increases flame retardant market demand globally. The recent flame retardant market is shifting from brominated flame retardants to organophosphorus flame retardants due to Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulation, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment regulation, and others. While organophosphorus flame retardants are expected to continue growing in the future, they are highly volatile, leading to concerns that they may worsen indoor air pollution. Depending on the requirement, many categories of organophosphorus flame redundancy are available in the market. Industries such as electrical, electronics, and building and construction increase the demand for organophosphorus flame retardants. The transportation industry also uses flame retardants to avoid damage due to fire. Polyurethane, Polyvinylchloride, Engineering thermoplastics, and other substances make use of fire retardants for safety purposes. Plastic and textile industries mix OPFRs during manufacturing to prevent fire or reduce fire speed. Many surfaces need fire-resistant properties for safety purposes. OPFRs are used to coat surfaces, forming an insulation layer over them. When an industry manufactures a product, the profit from the product depends on the cost of raw material. Nanotechnology is anticipated to play a vital role in improving the performance of a flame retardant market in the years to come.A significant factor limiting the market growth is the rise in prices, which may reduce demand. The major producers are raising the prices of the flame retardant market due to the increase in feedstock costs. Moreover, there is a toxicity issue in the flame retardant production process, further hamper the market.

The significant growth opportunities for the flame retardant market include equipment & electronics, automotive & construction in emerging economies, especially those expanding in infrastructure applications. The growth in these segments in developing economies will likely boost the market demand for flame retardant and its products.
