The fast expansion of industrialization has brought a host of recognized and unknown risks, prompting a shift in focus toward safety and the sales of fire-retardant fabrics. Furthermore, the global demand for fire retardant fabrics is driven by the electric industry to reduce the combustibility of semiconductors and numerous end-users such as automotive manufacturing and construction materials.

Industrially, the fire retardant fabrics are produced through the surface treatment of the fabric during the finishing process, which imparts flame-retardant properties within it. Prevalently, it is used in the manufacturing of protective wear, which has resulted in higher sales of fire retardant fabrics in industrial economies.

The availability of several fabric-fire processes such as CRIB-5 and BS-476, as well as increased demand for fire retardant fabrics for theatrical draperies used in public venues such as theatres, schools, and other special events, are projected to help the market. In addition, the sales of fire retardant fabrics for use in firefighters’ uniforms and equipment to prevent fire threats are predicted to grow in the global market.

Generally, fire retardant fabrics are produced by incorporating fire resistance additives with man-made fibers or through the synthesis of fire resistance copolymer with the fabric polymers. Also, fire retardant fabrics find their application in the production of curtains, drapes, health care fabrics, tents, tarps, and military applications, among others, making some demand for fire retardant fabrics in textile industries.

What are the Future Fire Retardant Fabrics Market Dynamics?

New developments and advancements in the manufacturing industry are propelling the use of fire retardant fabrics across various applications such as protective wear, coverings materials, etc. The protective wear segment alone dominates the fire retardant fabrics market share, and the segment is expected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period.

However, it has been observed that the sales of fire retardant fabrics result from their use for high-end upholstery applications.

In recent times, there have been considerable construction activities in European countries and GCC Countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Germany, and the United Kingdom. and Poland, and Ukraine, which is estimated to drive the demand for fire retardant fabrics over the forecast period.

Housing projects in these countries, along with investments in non-residential infrastructures, such as commercial and retail, offices, hotels & restaurants, hospitals, malls, and educational infrastructure, have been contributing to the higher sales of fire retardant fabrics. This new construction market has been increasingly driving the upholstery market in the region and is expected to continue to contribute to the sales of fire-retardant fabrics over the next few years.

Albeit the development prospects of fire retardant fabrics are decent, however, the cost is still the main concern, especially since the prices of raw materials and energy are still high, which could limit the sales of fire retardant fabrics to some degree.

Along with this, significant growth of the manufacturing sector in developing and developed countries have resulted in rising demand for fire retardant fabrics in several application such as filtration, upholstery, and covers, among others.

What is the Regional Fire Retardant Fabrics Market Outlook?

The USA and EU-5 countries are prominent markets in terms of demand for fire retardant fabrics. This is mainly attributed to increasing disposable income, stringent safety norms, the steady growth of the manufacturing sector, growth of the furniture industry, and rising housing sectors, among others.

Additionally, the quality of the fabric & ergonomics plays a decisive role in the selection and sales of fire retardant fabrics market share is expected to register a steady CAGR over the forecast period.

Moreover, recent amendments in the safety norms and regulations in China have led to driving demand for the fire retardant fabrics market in this part of the world. In the Asia Pacific region, China, ASEAN countries, and India are expected to be lucrative markets for the sales of fire retardant fabrics.

The construction and manufacturing sector in India is considered one of the pillars of the Indian fire retardant fabrics market share. According to the report published by WTTC, the construction sector in India contributed around 13% to the economy in 2016 and is expected to grow at a decent pace in the coming years.

Thus, with this significant growth in the manufacturing sector, the demand for fire retardant fabrics is expected to register healthy growth over the forecast period.
