The global market for Flame Retardant plastics had a value of USD 46.26 Billion in 2021, and it is projected to experience a revenue Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.7% during the forecast period. Several factors contribute to this growth, including the increasing demand for thermoplastics to reduce carbon emissions, a rising need for flame retardant plastics in the electrical and electronics sectors, a high demand to enhance fire safety in the automotive and construction industries, and an increased preference for non-halogenated polymers.

Flame retardants are chemical compounds utilized to prevent or delay the ignition and burning of plastic materials. Creating thermally stable polymers that are less likely to decompose into combustible gases when exposed to heat stress helps prevent combustion. The incorporation of flame retardant chemicals into polymers ensures that specific items are safer to use concerning fire risks. While synthetic polymers have become more popular than traditional materials, many of them are still flammable and can burn easily in the presence of heat and oxygen. Thus, using flame retardants for plastics is essential to reduce fire hazards.

The primary goals of flame retardancy are to enhance fire resistance, reduce flame spread, and lower heat release in plastic materials. Without these flame retardants, the majority of plastics would not be suitable for use in various industries due to safety regulations.

In November 2021, Italmatch Chemicals S.p.A. introduced a new phosphorous flame retardant called 'Liquid Masteret.' This product consists of concentrated blends of stabilized and microencapsulated Red Phosphorus (RP). It finds applications in the transportation, electrical and electronics, and construction industries, especially in situations where the use of halogen is prohibited due to high smoke corrosivity in case of a fire.

Additionally, in March 2022, the 3D Printing company Carbon expanded the possibilities of its idea-to-production platform with the release of EPX 86FR, a flame-retardant photopolymer resin. This product utilizes Carbon's proprietary dual-cure technique and offers improved fire safety properties for various applications.
