There are many types of flame retardants in my country, and the market size is gradually expanding.
Flame retardant, also known as fire retardant, fire retardant, etc., refers to a functional additive that improves the flame resistance of molecular materials. After years of development, the types of flame retardants in my country have become increasingly rich. According to different usage methods, flame retardants can be divided into reactive flame retardants, additive flame retardants, etc.; according to different chemical compositions, flame retardants can be divided into organic halogen flame retardants, inorganic flame retardants, and organic phosphorus flame retardants. Flame retardants, etc. Among them, organic halogen flame retardants can be subdivided into bromine-based flame retardants, chlorine-based flame retardants, etc.; inorganic flame retardants can be subdivided into aluminum hydroxide flame retardants, antimony-based flame retardants, etc.; organophosphorus-based flame retardants Flame retardants can be subdivided into phosphate ester flame retardants, phosphorus nitrogen flame retardants, phosphazene flame retardants, phosphaphenanthrene flame retardants, etc.
From the perspective of market segments, aluminum hydroxide flame retardants have become the largest segmented product of flame retardants, with a market share of 31.4%; followed by phosphorus-nitrogen flame retardants, with a market share of 18.5%; bromine-based retardants Fuel agents ranked third, accounting for 13.2% of the market.
At this stage, my country’s flame retardant industry chain has basically matured. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly the raw material industry, providing phosphate, calcium chloride, potassium chloride and other raw materials; the midstream is mainly the flame retardant production industry, responsible for the production and manufacturing of different types of flame retardants; the downstream is mainly the application field, with many Used in textile, construction, plastics, rubber, coatings, electronic and electrical, household appliances, automobiles and other fields.
According to the “Report on Development Status and Investment Strategy Suggestions of the Flame Retardant Industry in 2023” released by the Industrial Research Center, flame retardants are not only It can improve the flame resistance of polymer materials, and can also prevent materials from being ignited and slow down the burning speed of materials to a certain extent. It is often used to prevent fires or reduce the speed of fire spread after a fire occurs, thereby reducing the harm caused by fire. . In recent years, my country’s science and technology have continued to progress, the application fields of polymer materials have gradually broadened, and their importance has steadily increased. Since polymer materials are easy to burn, the market demand for flame retardants as an additive to enhance the fire resistance of materials is gradually growing. Against this background, the scale of my country’s flame retardant market has gradually expanded. In 2022, my country’s flame retardant market size will be 20.48 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 23.4%.
Industry analysts said that at this stage, the major flame retardant companies include Yak Technology, Weidong Chemical, and Yongli Chemical , Wansheng Co., Ltd., Merui Technology, Oupuri New Materials, Lianrui Chemical, Chenhua Co., Ltd., Jiangshan Co., Ltd., Runyue Technology, Xin’an Chemical, Liside New Materials, etc. Among them, Wansheng Co., Ltd. has gradually become a leading enterprise in the industry by virtue of its complete industrial chain and large production scale. As my country’s industry production capacity gradually upgrades, some flame retardant companies with backward production technologies and smaller scales are gradually eliminated, and the flame retardant market concentration is expected to be further increased.
