The global flame retardant ABS market size was USD 7085.5 million in 2022 and market is projected to touch USD 9758 million by 2031, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6% during the forecast period.

ABS is a polymer with flame retardant characteristics. It's most typically found in appliances, automobiles, and industrial settings. The main aspect about flame retardant ABS above all other substances including such polypropylene or nylon is its inexpensive raw material cost in comparison to the superior performance, mechanical strength, and oxidation resistance it provides. Furthermore, it can be customised for specific engineering necessities (e.g., electronic insulation), making it suitable for different markets all over various industries, which would include automobiles, where its utilisation is rapidly increasing due to rigorous safety requirements relating to re-useable plastic components meant to come into proximity with food product.

COVID-19 Impact: Supply and Lockdown Limitations to Impede Market Advancement

Beginning in 2021, the COVID-19 illness spread around the globe, affecting countless people in general, and major governments across the world issued orders for work stoppages and foot restrictions. Most initiatives have been seriously impacted, with the exception of the groups that provide medical products and life support equipment. The COVID-19 outbreak has devastated numerous nations around the globe and had a significant impact on the aviation sector. Due to a lack of ridership, airlines all over the world experienced financial problems and had to reduce capacity at unheard-of rates. Some airlines stopped operating entirely. The majority of airlines changed their orders, which had an immediate impact on the market of flame retardant ABS because it is a low-cost engineering material that is simple to process and create. Flame retardant ABS is an excellent material for mechanical or structural applications that require load bearing capacity, strength, and stiffness. ABS thermoplastic fire-rated sheeting can be employed to create glare shielding and side screen or panel backing for aeroplanes.

Due to the pandemic, new market dynamics and advancement in engine manufacturer industry have emerged, fostering the development of engines models and strategies for regaining growth and revenue streams. It is hoped that the technological advancements will amplify the pandemic's effects from the previous years and continue to increase demand for the advanced material.

LATEST TRENDS 

"Employment of Non-Halogen to Stimulate Market Development "

The term "non-halogen type" refers to flame blocking products that are not categorised as halogens. Because it does neither melt or create harmful fumes when emitted into the environment during burning, non-halogen ABS is widely employed in device or gadgets and OA machine applications. ABS without halogens is utilised in a range of implementation, notably such as appliances and OA equipment. Non-halogen ABS is made of a flame retardant synthetic polymer. These substances or chemicals are used to slow down the spread of fires, and to lengthen the duration for melted material to combust, and limit harmful smoke emissions during combustion.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Expanding Application Areas in Automotives to Aid Market Expansion "

Flame retardant is utilised in the automotive sector for treating plastics. It is mostly used on car interior and exterior pieces such as consoles, interfaces, side panels, car seats, roof liner panels, and pillars. Because of the increasing safety standards for automobile manufacture, FR (flame retardant) ABS is employed in a wide range of applications. Flame retardant ABS into OA machine or equipment is used to improve the thermal durability of polymers and decrease their flammability. Particularly, it either suppresses or slows the ignition of such materials when exposed to heat. This can be extended by introducing a small quantity of FR chemicals during the manufacturing process, so that they do not easily catch fire and are much more expected to self-extinguish or quench when subjected to extreme heat.

"Rise in Industrial Activities to Foster Industry Progress "

Due to their heat resistance, flame retardant ABS polymers are frequently employed in industrial areas such as manufacturing and construction materials. It can be customised for the use of cases that necessitate electrical seclusion or blaze suppression without affecting other properties of materials, making it appropriate for a wide range of industries, including automotive, where its use is rapidly increasing due to strict regulations governing re-usable plastic pieces meant to come into direct proximity with food. When compared to ordinary polymers, flame retardants contribute in making plastics less flammable by shortening the time necessary before ignition and delaying the rate at which flames propagate along surfaces. The industry is anticipated to grow as industrial activities rise.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Increasing Negative Effect on Human Health to Hinder Market Advancement "

A heat-resistant ABS elastic or plastic containing halogens including such as bleach, fluorine, and bromine is known as halogen type. Because they produce materials with strong heat resistance, these compounds are frequently utilised in the manufacturing of plastics. Halogen ABS has been regarded as one of the most efficacious heat-resistant for this application, but considerations about toxicity have prompted manufacturers to investigate other types or pairings of chemical compounds that also provide high-level fire protection while having no negative effects on human health. Therefore, depleting the flame retardant ABS market growth.
