Flame retardants have been studied for years for its incomparable function in various products to prevent ignition of fire or when a fire is started, and their necessity and importance are even growing. At present, flame retardants are mostly applied in plastics and rubber which are used in the manufacture of PCB, electrical & electronics, wire & cable, motor vehicles etc., and textile and coating as well.
China has become a key player of flame retardants both in production and consumption. It can produce most common flame retardants with output of approximately 600,000 tonnes in 2011, and has witnessed domestic consumption reaching almost 400,000 tonnes in 2011, both with CAGR over 15% in the past five years. And along with the global development trend of flame retardants, production and consumption of flame retardants in China is switching to some more environmental friendly products such as PFRs and ATH&MH. However, when the tendency of developing more upgraded or specific products which require more advanced technologies has declared its emerge in overseas flame retardant industry, Chinese producers are still in the stage of improving the technologies of some common products.
With living policies and standards improving, consumption of flame retardants in related industries is expected to soar in the future. However, policies are not so supportive to BFRs. Since Europe has carried out some restrictions on BFRs, Chinese government’s and Chinese BRFs producers’ manner are evidently important to BFRs future in China.
Meanwhile, with the domestic market volume enlarging greatly in recent years, there are various commercial opportunities in China’s flame retardant industry.
