The flame retardant industry expanded in the
1970s when synthetic materials became popular in the manufacture of products.
The growing demand and consumption of these flammable products led many world governments
to insist their manufacturers make them safer from fire. In many countries, the use of flame retardant
chemicals in flammable products is mandated. In recent decades, their worldwide
use has increased as highly populated countries such as China and India have
recognized the safety and protective value of flame retardant chemicals.
Presently, the flame retardant chemicals
industry is in transition. Because many organizations and governments have
reassessed the safety benefits of flame retardant chemicals against its harmful
effects on human health and the environment, the use of some widely used flame
retardant chemicals is being discontinued. However, emerging technology promises
flame retardant protection with reduced or eliminated toxic effects.
The
global consumption of flame retardant chemicals in 2013 and 2014 reached about $3.9
billion pounds and $4.2 billion pounds, respectively. In 2019, total consumption
is projected to reach $5.7 billion, reflecting a five-year compound annual
growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%.
For 25 years, BCC Research has convened
the Annual
Conference on Recent Advances in Flame Retardancy of Polymeric Materials. A signature staple of the industry, this
cutting-edge conference focuses on the development of flame retardant chemicals
and materials such as plastics, textiles, and surface coatings that inhibit,
suppress, or delay the production of flames to prevent the spread of fire.
Come join this year’s conference to
hear BCC Research's renowned analyst Marcanne Green, one of more than 40 expert
speakers, share her insights. For the
