China’s flame retardant market to grow rapidly in next 5 years
1. China’s Flame Retardant Market to Grow Rapidly in Next 5 Years
Summary: China’s flame retardant market will witness a rapid growth in the following five
years, revealed by CCM International’s 2nd Edition report of Survey of Flame Retardants
Industry in China.

China's flame retardant industry has maintained rapid development for more than 10 years with
large-scale production and consumption. China has witnessed domestic consumption reaching
almost 400,000 tonnes in 2011, both with CAGR over 15% in the past five years.
Each type of flame retardant has different production and consumption situations, as well as
different future prospects with various influencing factors, notably policy, technology, cost
performance, etc.
Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are still the major type of flame retardants in China, although
their application has been questioned for safety dispute and the EU has banned some types of
products. At present, BFRs are still irreplaceable in some areas. Nevertheless, both of their
growth rate and market share has been reducing in the past few years. With the growing concern
of environmental protection, domestic producers are positively studying on developing cleaner
products such as BPS and DBDPE.
The development of phosphate flame retardants (PFRs) in China is superiorly outstanding in the
past five years. Except for consumption volume, the capacity and output of PFRs have exceeded
those of BFRs in China. Comparatively, PFRs are more environmentally friendly than BFRs. Even
though the present PFRs products are of halogen, the non-halogen PFRs are replacing them
gradually. Moreover, the technology in PFRs develops greatly.
Antimony trioxide (ATO), the most effective synergistic agent of BRFs, has enlarged its capacity a
lot in the past five years, although its domestic market share hasn't changed much. Since China's
ATO market depends greatly on export, the output of ATO decreases sharply in 2011 due to its
high price and European debt crisis. What's more, it is facing a challenge from substitutes such
as zinc borate.
Zinc borate (ZB), a substitute of ATO, is environmentally friendly and will gain strong growth
momentum in the near future. While at present, it can not replace ATO completely, due to its
relatively narrow applications compared with ATO, and it would lower product performance to a
certain degree as well.
Aluminium hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide (ATH&MH), which are widely and largely applied
in overseas downstream industries, begin to grab more market share in China's flame retardant
2. market. Due to the environmental friendliness of ATH&MH, the future prospect of ATH&MH is
considered to be very bright.
For other flame retardants, both the production and consumption are quite immature with quite
narrow application fields. They are figured to develop relatively slowly.
At present, domestic consumption of flame retardants concentrates on plastics, PCB and rubber,
with the market share of 48.33%, 24.87% and 19.55% respectively in 2011. The consumption of
other flame retardants in domestic market has kept growing with the CAGR of over 15% from
2006 to 2011, and this trend will continue in the next five years, bringing huge investment
opportunities in Chinese flame retardant industry.
According to CCM International's investigation, the flame retardant industry, on the whole, will
probably witness a rapid growth in the following five years (from 2012 to 2016). Want to know
China’s output and consumption of flame retardant in 2016 and other information? Please focus
