The global fire-retardant fabrics market is expected to witness significant growth, reaching a value of USD 6.27 billion by 2032, expanding from USD 3.5 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6% from 2022 to 2032. The rising demand for flame retardants is driven by their increasing use across various industries, including construction, automotive, and aerospace, to enhance safety standards. The discovery of new application areas and advancements in fabric technologies are further fueling the market’s expansion, making fire-retardant fabrics a critical component in fire safety solutions worldwide. As regulations become more stringent, the adoption of these fabrics is expected to rise, bolstering overall market growth.
Industrially, the fire retardant fabrics are produced through the surface treatment of the fabric during the finishing process which in turn impart the flame-retardant property within it. Prevalently, fire retardant fabrics are used in the manufacturing of the protective wears.
Also, fire retardant fabrics find their application in the production of curtains, drapes, health care fabrics, tents, tarps, and military applications, among others. Generally, the Fire Retardant Fabrics are produced by incorporation of the fire resistance additives with man-made fibers or through synthesis of fire resistance copolymer with the fabric polymers.
