Therefore, the rising electronics and electronic goods manufacturing is expected to drive the flame retardant chemicals market during the forecast period.

Buildings & Construction to Dominate the Market

Flame retardant chemicals are commonly used in building materials to meet the important fire safety standards and codes. Flame retardant chemicals increase the threshold temperature of the material at which it catches fire, and reduce the rate of spreading of fire along with providing the critical escape time required to escape from the surroundings. The stringent building standards and the increase in usage of materials, such as vinyl flooring, foam insulation, and plastic roofing, particularly in the developing countries, such as China and India, offer an exciting prospect for the development of the flame retardant chemicals market.
