• to learn more about this report

The global halogen free flame retardant market size was USD 5008.1 million in 2022 and the market is projected to touch USD 7373.7 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period.

Halogen free flame retardant markets is a part of the global flame retardant chemicals industry. Flame retardants are a key component in reducing the devastating impact of fires. Flame retardants are generally added to or treat potentially flammable materials such as textiles and plastics. Halogen containing compounds with trioxide are synergistic agents. Thus, the use of halogen containing flame retardants is limited due to corrosive smoke during combustion along with the evolution of toxic gases.  Flame retardants without halogens are chemicals or additives added to a variety of materials to lessen their flammability and increase fire safety. Halogen-free substitutes do not include halogens (such as bromine or chlorine), unlike conventional flame retardants that do. Halogen-free flame retardants are a class of substances that are combined with various end-use materials, including plastic, textiles, paints and coatings, to create products that are resistant to flames. Because they have superior chemical characteristics than halogen-containing compounds, which create caustic smoke during burning, halogen-free compounds are widely employed.

The halogen-free flame retardant market has a developing potential owing to the rising demand for halogen free flame retardant in the replacement of halogen based flame retardants material in various industrial sector and stringent environmental regulations and fire safety standards for residential and commercial buildings. Participants are fixing their efforts on encouraging R&D. Technological development are supporting the regional market growth. Manufacturers need to stay updated with changing market trends and develop products that meet growing consumer needs. Companies coming up with progressive technological solutions for firming their positions.
