Abstract

US demand to rise 3.8% annually through 2013
US demand for flame retardants will rise 3.8 percent per year to 1.0 billion pounds in 2013, reflecting more stringent fire codes and flammability requirements, especially in building materials and consumer products. Additionally, an improved economic outlook in key applications, such as wire and cable insulation and jacketing, and motor vehicles, will fuel demand. Nonetheless, overall gains will be limited by cost sensitivity in price-competitive markets such as motor vehicles and textiles, as well as environmental and health concerns over several flame retardant chemicals. In value terms, flame retardant demand will advance nearly 4.0 percent per year to $1.1 billion in 2013. This represents a deceleration from the 2003- 2008 period, which was characterized by rapid price increases for flame retardants as a result of high raw material and energy costs.

Phosphorus-based flame retardants to grow at fastest pace
Phosphorus-based flame retardants will grow at the fastest pace, driven by increasing trends toward non-halogenated products. However, brominated compounds will continue to lead the market in total value, as the regulatory climate in the US is unlikely to undergo dramatic changes in the near future. Rapid gains are also expected for smaller-volume flame retardants, such as magnesium hydroxide, which is finding increased use in polypropylene and engineering resins. Alumina trihydrate (ATH) will remain the largest volume flame retardant through 2013, comprising 46 percent of demand and growing slightly faster than the overall market.
