Inorganic Flame Retardants Market Outlook:
Inorganic Flame Retardants Market size was valued at USD 6.1 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 11.5 billion by the end of 2035, rising at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period, i.e., 2026-2035. In 2026, the industry size of inorganic flame retardants is estimated at USD 6.5 billion.
The primary driver of the inorganic flame retardants market is the increasing demand for environmentally acceptable, non-halogenated flame retardants such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminium hydroxide. Stricter environmental sustainability regulations and increased consumer awareness of fire safety, especially in the Asia-Pacific, North American, and European countries, are driving this trend. The use of inorganic flame retardants has significantly increased as a result of the shift away from halogenated ones because of health and environmental concerns.
The availability of raw materials like magnesium compounds and aluminium has a direct impact on the supply chain for inorganic flame retardants. About 4.3 million metric tons of aluminium were produced in the US in 2021, with substantial imports helping to meet industrial demand. In a similar vein, imports and production of magnesium are essential to guaranteeing a consistent supply for the creation of flame retardants. To fulfill the growing demand, the industry has witnessed investments aimed at increasing manufacturing facilities.
