Non-Halogenated Flame Retardant Market Analysis & Forecast 2025-2031

Global Non-Halogenated Flame Retardant Market is expected to reach USD 4425.22 million by 2031 with CAGR of 7.7 % between 2025 and 2031

Overview

Non-halogenated flame retardants restrain or delay flame production to avert the spread of fire. Aluminum hydroxide held the largest market share in terms of volume and is expected to expand at an impressive growth rate over the forecast period. Phosphorous based products accounted for over half of share of the overall revenue. The segment is likely to be the highest revenue generating segment in spite of being the lowest consumed segment. Rising concerns over health and safety in several industries, specifically in the mature economies of Western Europe and U.S., coupled with low cost advantages involved in manufacturing aluminum hydroxide products, are anticipated to manage the market over the predicted period.  

Product type & Competitive analysis

Inorganic, phosphorous, and nitrogen are primary product included in non-halogenated flame retardant. Inorganic compounds are compounds which are not derived from living matter and do not contain carbon. With the symbol P and atomic number 15, phosphorus is a chemical element. White phosphorus and red phosphorus are the major forms of the Elemental phosphorus. Phosphorus is never found as a free element on earth because of its highly reactive. Nitrogen is the chemical element with the symbol N and atomic number 7. In periodic table, nitrogen is the lightest member of group 15 which is frequently called the pnictogens. The name comes from the Greek, directly referencing nitrogen's asphyxiating properties.  

Application & Regional analysis

Study indicates that the non-halogenated flame retardant is divided into four applications which are electrical and electronics, building insulation, automotive, and textiles. The electrical industry is anticipated to expand at the high CAGR of 7% in terms of volume. Rise in demand for safety materials for pipe and wires used in the electrical industry, coupled with developing electricity infrastructure in emerging economies such as Brazil, India, China, and Russia, is expected to drive the demand in this segment for the next few years.  

Major manufacturers of electronic equipment in countries such as China are forced to shift toward non-halogenated alternatives of flame retardants due to increasing environmental concerns in other regions such as Europe and North America. For any insulation purpose, Building insulation is any object in a building which is as used as insulation. Automotive industry includes car, vehicle manufacturers, component and automotive part manufacturers, re-sellers and after-market services and parts replacement. The driving factor for automobile companies is the increasing demand for automobiles due to increasing per capita income and economic growth. The textile industry is mainly anxious with the design, production and distribution of yarn, cloth and clothing.  

Geographically, the non-halogenated flame retardant is divided into United States, China, Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia, and India. North America emerged as the largest regional market, where aluminum hydroxide accounted for the major share among other retardants. American Chemistry Council’s North American Flame Retardant Alliance (NAFRA) is an organization in North America that supports producers, suppliers, and companies. Pinfa, a European association for promotion of non-halogenated flame retardants, was officially launched in North America as Pinfa-NA. Under the regulations of EPA, few companies in the region phased out production of certain bromine-based flame retardants that are highly toxic in nature, which has resulted in increased demand for non-halogenated products.  

The market in Asia Pacific presents growth potential for non-halogenated retardants, which are expected to replace the halogenated ones that have been majorly used in various industries in the region. Owing to global environmental regulations, the regional market is expected to gradually shift from halogenated to non-halogenated products. In addition, increasing construction spending, coupled with growth of the automotive industry, particularly in emerging countries such as China and India, is expected to have a positive influence on the market growth over the next few years.
