Apac non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals market size is forecast to reach US$914.9 million by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during 2022-2027. Non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals are essential additives that are applied to base materials to aid in fire prevention and reduce heat generation. Non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals are widely utilized in polyolefin, epoxy resin, polyvinyl chloride, and more to enhance the performance of the materials by reducing the heating effect. Moreover, the Apac non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals market is majorly driven by the growth of the construction activities in the region. Also, the increasing demand for non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals from the electrical and electronics sector of the Asia-Pacific region is projected to fuel the growth of the Apac non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals industry growth during the projected forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact
In the year 2020, Asia-Pacific countries imposed strict lockdown measures to curb the rising Covid-19 cases in the region. This majorly impacted the construction activities in the Asia-Pacific region as there was a supply chain disruption, the labor movement was restricted, and more such impositions were highly impacted the construction industry. Since there was a decline in the construction activities in the region, the Apac non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals market suffered losses. Nevertheless, in the year 2021, governments eased the lockdown restriction to strengthen the economic condition of the countries. Hence, the government also eased restrictions on construction activities in the Asia-Pacific region. For instance, in June 2021, the Thailand COVID-19 Task Panel agreed to loosen restrictions on construction projects that could harm or endanger people in Thailand. Thailand's government highlighted underground constructions, scaffolding, and traffic safety construction as examples. With this ease of construction activities, there was growth in the market in the APAC region. Also, it is anticipated in the long run the Covid-19 pandemic impact will be reduced, which would lead to the Apac non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals industry growth scenario to the pre-Covid time.

Apac Non-halogenated Flame Retardant Chemicals Market Segment Analysis – By Product
The inorganic compound held the largest share in the Apac non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals market in 2021 and is growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during 2022-2027. The major reasons why aluminum hydroxide is often utilized in non-halogenated flame retardants is its high flame retardant efficiency and temperature endurance. Moreover, aluminum hydroxide contains good pollution-controlling chemicals, allowing it to control flames while not emitting dangerous pollutants or producing smoke during combustion. When compared with boron compounds, aluminum hydroxide is amphoteric. Also, inorganic compound magnesium hydroxide has the advantage of lower hardness when compared with nitrogen base, this benefit results in increased durability. Hence, due to these properties, the demand for inorganic compounds is increasing for non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals application in APAC.
Apac Non-halogenated Flame Retardant Chemicals MarketSegment Analysis – By End-Use Industry
The building and construction industry held a significant share in the Apacb non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals market in 2021 and is growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during 2022-2027. Since non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals emit less heat and produce less smoke, they are used as an addition for building and construction activities such as in residential construction, it is used in floors, roofs, and more. Non-halogenated flame retardants are environmentally sustainable because they have excellent smoke suppression capabilities and are inexpensive. As the building and construction activities are growing in the Asia-Pacific region due to the rapid pace of urbanization, this has is expected to fuel the Apac non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals market growth. For instance, according to the Ministry of Construction Vietnam, by 2025, the average house floor area per person in Vietnam would be 27 sqm, with 28 sq m in urban areas and 26 sqm in rural areas. In addition, the policy seeks to construct and restore more than one billion sqm of housing, or over 11.9 million units.

Apac Non-halogenated Flame Retardant Chemicals Market Challenges
Higher Loading Level is Restricting the Market Growth
The high loading levels associated with halogen-free flame retardants is one of the major downsides for the Apac non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals market. To ensure flame retardation, flame retardants employed as fillers are injected in substantial amounts into the polymer matrix. Excessive loading, on the other hand, raises the density of the finished product while lowering its mechanical qualities (thermal stability). The addition of large amounts of fillers to polymers alters the chemical and rheological properties of the polymers. Moreover, the sole usage of non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals is ineffective, thus compounds such as hydroxides, phosphorus, and zinc are primarily utilized with it. Thus, the factors such as higher load level and low performance when used solely are creating a bottleneck for the growth of the Apac non-halogenated flame retardant chemicals market.
