North America Market Insights

The North America melamine polyphosphate Market is anticipated to grow with a substantial revenue share of 25.6% over the forecast years by 2035, attributed to the stringent regulatory pressure on the use of halogenated flame retardants, which is driving manufacturers to seek non-halogen, phosphorus nitrogen-based flame retardants, such as melamine polyphosphate. Recently, the U.S. EPA introduced new major new use regulations on some halogenated flame retardants under TSCA, indicating stricter regulation of the traditional flame retardants and creating space to switch to alternatives. Fire safety and building codes are also growing stricter in residential, commercial, and electrical systems, which are driving the need for plastics, coatings, wiring, and insulation materials to have good flame-retardant characteristics. For instance, foam plastic insulation should satisfy surface burning requirements, such as flame spread limits certified to the ASTM E84 test or UL 723 test, and thermal barrier requirements such as 1/2-inch wallboard (gypsum) or other materials (IBC Chapter 26, Section 2603; IRC Section R316). 

Additionally, the increased use of electronics, telecommunications, and electrical infrastructure in urban and rural modernization requires lower-hazard flame-retardant materials, particularly where halogen emission is not required. Moreover, the increased knowledge about human health and environmental safety promotes the replacement of the old brominated or chlorinated products. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has started to make a rule to restrict the use of additive non-polymeric organohalogen flame retardants on consumer goods, signifying the current strict use of the flame-retardant alternatives.

The market in the U.S. is expected to lead the North America region over the forecast period by 2035, owing to the stringent fire safety regulations in both the construction, electronics, and automotive industries in the U.S., aided by the presence of major manufacturers and the high level of innovation. For instance, IBC, which is applicable in all states of the U.S., has stringent fire safety standards for building materials, which encourage the use of new fire-resistant materials. This regulatory framework is directly favorable to the development of melamine polyphosphate in the U.S. as a preferred non-halogenated flame retardant for building use. Additionally, a strong construction industry supported by both government and non-government investments supports a steady demand for flame-resistant materials. Moreover, the corrosion resistance and thermal stability of the melamine polyphosphate allow its use in glass fiber reinforced polyamides commonly used in electrical and electronic equipment. For instance, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) identifies melamine polyphosphate as a good flame-retardant due to its thermal stability and low toxicity, which has been used in electrical and electronic devices. This offers increased demand for melamine polyphosphate in the U.S., with industries switching to less hazardous and environmentally friendly fire protection measures. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency states that the market of flame retardants will likely increase dramatically as stricter fire safety standards are enacted and more individuals become aware of the danger of fires.
