Flame Retardant Masterbatches Market: Key Highlights
The global flame retardant masterbatches market was valued at ~ US$ 1.8 Bn in 2018, and is projected to expand at a CAGR of ~ 7% from 2019 to 2027.
The global flame retardant masterbatches market is driven by the growth of the electrical & electronics industry.
In terms of value, the market in Asia Pacific is expected to expand at a CAGR of ~ 8% during the forecast period. China is the major producer of flame retardant masterbatches in Asia Pacific.
Key Drivers of the Flame Retardant Masterbatches Market
The demand for flame retardant masterbatches has been increasing, due to their properties such as reduction of fire ignition, decrease in flame spreading, and suppression of smoke formation. Flame retardant masterbatches are used for electronic wiring, power cables, and other electrical devices.
The flame retardant masterbatches market is also driven by government regulations in the building & construction and industry. The probability of buildings catching fire is high due to the presence of furniture, curtains, and other fire-catching things in homes and offices. Gas leakage can also cause a fire in a building.
Electric Vehicles - A Lucrative Opportunity
The demand for electric vehicles is expected to substantially increase in the near future. This is driving the need for new flame retardant solutions. More than 3 million electric vehicle were sold around the world in 2017. This number is expected to rise to 40 million by 2030, leading to a radical change in the car industry.
An electric car has 200 parts as compared to 1,200 in non-electric cars. This carries fire risks due to the high energy concentration in batteries and risk of thermal runaway. As a result, manufacturers are striving to introduce fire-resistant specifications to limit the risk of short circuiting due to high current.
