난연제 시장 : 시장 기회, 성장 요인, 산업 동향 분석 및 예측(2026-2035년)

The Global Flame Retardants Market was valued at USD 9.8 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% to reach USD 17.7 billion by 2035.

Market growth is driven by stringent fire safety regulations, rapid urbanization, and rising demand from construction, electrical & electronics, and transportation industries. Flame retardants play a critical role in reducing fire-related risks by delaying ignition, slowing flame spread, and minimizing smoke generation across a wide range of materials, including plastics, textiles, foams, and coatings. Increasing infrastructure development, electrification, and the proliferation of electronic devices have significantly elevated the importance of fire-resistant materials. At the same time, regulatory pressure to improve public safety standards across residential, commercial, and industrial settings continues to support sustained demand for advanced flame-retardant solutions.

The market is witnessing a pronounced shift toward environmentally friendly and halogen-free flame retardants, as regulatory agencies and end users prioritize sustainability, reduced toxicity, and recyclability. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on phosphorus-based, inorganic, and polymer-bound flame-retardant systems that offer effective fire protection while meeting evolving environmental compliance norms. Technological advancements in encapsulation and dispersion technologies have further enhanced performance consistency and compatibility with modern polymers. These innovations are particularly relevant for high-growth applications such as electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and smart infrastructure, where fire safety is critical and material performance requirements are increasingly stringent.

By type, the organo-phosphorus compounds segment held 26% share in 2025. These compounds are widely adopted due to their excellent flame-retardant efficiency, versatility across multiple polymer systems, and strong regulatory acceptance compared to traditional halogenated products. Organo-phosphorus flame retardants are extensively used in engineering plastics, foams, coatings, and electronic components, where low smoke emission and high thermal stability are essential. Their growing use in halogen-free formulations aligns well with global sustainability goals, further reinforcing their leadership position in the market.

In terms of end use, the electrical & electronics segment held 42.3% share in 2025, driven by the increasing use of flame retardants in consumer electronics housings, circuit boards, connectors, wires, and cables to meet strict fire safety and performance standards. Rapid growth in consumer electronics, data centers, smart devices, and power infrastructure has amplified demand for high-performance flame-retardant materials that can withstand heat, electrical stress, and long operational lifecycles. As electronic components become smaller and more powerful, the need for advanced flame-retardant solutions that ensure safety without compromising functionality continues to rise.

U.S. Flame Retardants Market generated USD 2 billion in 2025. Growth across North America is largely anchored in the United States, where steady demand is supported by a mature electronics manufacturing base that increasingly adopts halogen-free materials for wiring, insulation, and circuit protection. Strong activity in construction continues to drive the use of fire-resistant materials, while ongoing automotive production further reinforces consumption. Strict enforcement of fire safety regulations such as UL-94 and NFPA standards, along with the adoption of advanced phosphorus-based formulations and well-established compliance frameworks, continues to strengthen the country's market standing. Leading manufacturers including Dow Inc., Albemarle Corporation, and Clariant AG play a central role in maintaining supply stability and reinforcing the U.S. position within the regional market.

Key players operating in the Global Flame Retardants Market include BASF SE, Albemarle Corporation, ICL Group Ltd., LANXESS AG, Clariant AG, Avient Corporation, Arkema, Syensqo, Nabaltec AG, and Huber Engineered Materials. These companies maintain strong market positions through broad product portfolios, global manufacturing footprints, and deep technical expertise across multiple end-use industries. Companies in the Flame Retardants Market are strengthening their market foothold through product innovation, sustainability-focused R&D, and strategic partnerships with end-use industries. Leading players are investing in the development of halogen-free, low-smoke, and polymer-bound flame retardants to address tightening environmental regulations and customer sustainability goals. Expansion into high-growth regions, particularly Asia Pacific, through local manufacturing and distribution networks remains a key strategy. Firms are also enhancing application engineering support and regulatory compliance services to help customers meet complex fire safety standards.
