A Ceresana Research product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jul 11, 2006

Ceresana Research has just finished compiling a study on the market for flame retardant materials.

In the USA alone, fire kills over 4000 people annually and causes US $250 billion (Eur 200 billion) worth of damages.

In order to avoid and hinder the onset of fires, flame retardants are used in a number of products such as in plastics, textiles, woods, paints and electronics and electrical items.

Approximately 1.5 million tonnes of the various types of flame retardants are used annually worldwide and this figure is increasing.

China has an above average growth rate in its consumption of flame retardants and there is a general trend of moving away from halogenated flame retardants due to increasingly stringent laws and an increase in environmental awareness.

In order to compile a complete and up-to-date overview of the global flame retardant market, market research company Ceresana has collected and evaluated all the relevant data and presented its findings concisely.

In addition to presenting the current market situation, the work also contains various product, country and branch prognoses.

The study includes worldwide trends and innovations, manufacturers and products, as well as application areas.

The legal situation and important environmental and health aspects are also taken into consideration.

The methodically prepared data is based on extensive secondary market research as well as on the results of interviews conducted by telephone with company and association representatives and questionnaires.

This independent study provides readers with a complete overview of the global flame retardant market with its variety of influential factors.

The report comprises approximately 500 pages with around 100 colour graphs, charts and tables.

The market study is available in English or German from Ceresana Research.
