Abstract

US demand to reach 1.2 billion pounds in 2011

US demand for flame retardants will rise 3.0 percent per year to 1.2 billion pounds in 2011, valued at just over one billion dollars. Increasingly stringent fire codes and flammability requirements, especially in building materials and consumer products, will drive gains. Additionally, an improved economic outlook in key applications such as wire and cable insulation and jacketing, electronics housings and aerospace products will fuel demand for flame retardants. However, 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.

Among materials incorporating flame retardants, plastic resins (both thermoplastics and thermosets) accounted for over three-quarters of demand in 2006. The most rapid gains will be seen for polyolefins and other thermoplastics such as engineering resins, which are increasingly used in flame retardant construction and electronics applications. Slower growth is expected for PVC, polystyrene and epoxy resins, although gains will improve considerably from the 2001- 2006 period. Demand for flame retardants in non-plastic materials will advance at a subpar rate, restrained by weakness in the highly mature cellulose insulation market.
