Drivers Restraints-

Increasing Consumption of Brominated Compounds in Products to Boost Growth

The imposition of stringent regulations on fire safety stands as a significant flame retardant market growth driver. This, coupled with the rising consumption of brominated compounds in products, will also aid in the expansion of the market. Additionally, the development of innovative and effective synergists will boost the market in the coming years.

Segment

Antimony Oxides Segment Earned Highest Share Soon to be Overpowered by ATH Segment

The market was dominated by the antimony oxides segment with a 26.6% flame retardant market share in 2019. However, the ATH or the aluminium trihydrate segment is likely to emerge dominant in the forecast period as it does not emit any toxic smoke while burning and is, therefore, the most widely used component in the field of these retardants today.
