Abstract

Global demand to rise 4.7% annually through 2011 World demand for flame retardant chemicals will grow 4.7 percent per year to 2.2 million metric tons in 2011. Gains will be driven by the increased use of flame retardants in the developing countries of the world, as these nations begin to adopt more stringent flammability standards and the use of plastic materials rises. Additionally, more mature flame retardant markets such as the US and Western Europe will experience an acceleration in demand from the 2001-2006 period.

However, concerns over the potentially damaging environmental and health effects of halogenated flame retardants have the potential to cause a considerable shift in the product mix. High-volume brominated flame retardants such as decaBDE and TBBA have come under increased scrutiny, and although little regulatory action has been taken, many image-conscious OEMs have voluntarily eliminated these chemicals from their products. Although environmentally unfavorable chlorinated flame retardants continue to dominate the market in China, the country is rapidly moving away from chlorinated products, spurring tremendous growth in demand for other flame retardants.
