The global antimony trioxide market is projected to attain a valuation of USD 1.44 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach USD 2.44 billion by 2033 while exhibiting a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period.
Antimony trioxide is an inorganic chemical compound mostly used as a flame retardant additive for various types of plastics, fibers, rubbers, etc. It is found in nature in the form of minerals valentinite and senarmontite and has become one of the most important commercial compounds of antimony.
The growing popularity of antimony trioxide as an ideal flame retardant additive is a key factor providing impetus to the growth of the antimony trioxide market. Antimony trioxide is being extensively used as a flame retardant synergist in industries such as plastics & polymers, glass & ceramics, textiles, and electronics.
Antimony trioxide is also used as an opacifying agent for glass enamels, and glasses. It also finds its application as a useful catalyst in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET plastic) and the vulcanization of rubber.

Implementation of Strict Fire Safety Regulations to Drive Sales of Antimony Trioxide
The rising adoption of antimony trioxide as a flame retardant additive, pacifying agent, and catalyst across various industries is a significant factor driving growth in the global antimony trioxide market.
Antimony trioxide has become one of the most commonly used flame retardant additives in plastics, polymers, glass & ceramics, textiles, coatings, etc. over the years. It is used as a co-synergist with halogenated flame retardants to enhance its effectiveness.
The rise in the number of fire accidents and implementation of stringent fire safety regulations across the world is expected to therefore continue to boost the sales of antimony trioxide during the forecast period.
Antimony trioxide is increasingly added to some flame retardants to make them effective in consumer products including wires, cables, furniture, plastics, ceramics, glass, children's products, etc. Moreover, the rising spending on these consumer products coupled with the rapid expansion of building & construction and electrical and electronics industries is expected to provide a strong thrust to the growth of the antimony trioxide market during the forthcoming years.
Increasing usage of antimony trioxide as a pacifying agent for glasses ceramics, and enamels is likely to push the demand for antimony trioxide during the assessment period. Another factor spurring the growth of the antimony trioxide market is the surging demand for polyethylene terephthalate (PET plastics) and rubber. Antimony trioxide has become an ideal catalyst in the production of PET plastics and the vulcanization of rubber.
The Availability of Flame Retardants Substitutes May Restrain Market Expansion
Certain factors are challenging the growth of the antimony trioxide market despite the growing popularity of antimony trioxide. Some of these factors are the availability of alternative flame retards and catalysts, and growing concerns regarding the side effects of antimony trioxide on human and animal health.
It has been found that exposure to antimony trioxide can cause health issues like allergies, headaches, vomiting, inflammation, ulcers, and even cancer. This is limiting its adoption to a large extent.

Booming Growth in Construction Industry May Boost Market Growth in Asia Pacific
As per FMI, Asia Pacific’s antimony trioxide market is likely to expand at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period, owing to the factors such as:
The demand for antimony trioxide in China is projected to rise with a CAGR of 5.9% during the forecast period. China is expected to dominate the regional market by accumulating over 45% of the regional market share in 2023.
Demand for antimony trioxide is especially surging across significantly growing nations like China, Japan, and India due to rapid urbanization, increasing prevalence of fire accidents, and thriving electronics, textile, and construction industries.
Increasing construction activities across the Asia Pacific are igniting the demand for products like glass, plastics, ceramics, and paints & coatings. As antimony trioxide is being increasingly used in these products, a rise in their sales may eventually expand the antimony trioxide market size in the region during the forecast period.
Growing Demand for Advanced Flame Retardants to Drive Regional Growth
According to Future Market Insights, North America is expected to hold a significant share of the global antimony trioxide market during the forecast period between 2023 and 2033. The market in this region is projected to expand at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period.
Growth in North America’s antimony trioxide market is driven by increasing investments in building & construction activities, a rise in plastic & polymer production, growing demand for advanced flame retardants additives, and expansion of the paints & coatings industry.
Sales of antimony trioxide have risen at a significant pace across countries like the United States of America and Canada over the years due to a surge in fire accidents, the introduction of stringent fire safety regulations, and the flourishing electronics and construction industries.
Growing emphasis on improving the safety of consumer products like electronics, plastics, ceramics, etc. is prompting manufacturers to use flame retardant additives like antimony trioxide in their products. Hence, rising spending on these products is expected to push the demand for antimony trioxide during the assessment period.
