The global antimony trioxide market size is expected to attain a valuation of USD 1.44 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 2.44 billion by 2033 while exhibiting a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period.
The demand for flame retardants is further propelled by stringent regulations mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), particularly in industries like electric power generation, transformation, control, and transmission, where electrical arcs pose a common hazard for workers. For example,
- OHSA regulation 1910.269, known as the 269 Standard, is relevant to employees in such industries, thus driving the demand for flame retardants and boosting the antimony market.
Many of the world’s antimony reserves are dedicated to producing flame-retardant raw materials, particularly antimony trioxide. Powdered antimony trioxide is either chemically incorporated or physically blended into various products, including textiles.
The driving forces behind the market growth are increasing demand from the Asia Pacific and Latin America. These regions are experiencing a surge in building and construction activities, along with an increased demand for electrical and electronic products, both for personal and business use.
The significant economic development and industrialization in these developing nations have significantly expanded the consumer base, presenting remarkable growth opportunities for the antimony trioxide market in the Asia Pacific region. Moreover, the global demand for polyethylene plastic, especially for food packaging containers and polyethylene (PET) bottles, is steadily rising, consequently driving the demand for antimony trioxide for its production.
There is an increasing demand for electric vehicles and flame retardants in various end-user industries, such as plastics, which drives the market. Additionally, macroeconomic factors like GDP growth and purchase power also play a significant role.
The reuse of antimony extracted from spare lead-acid batteries is a prominent factor driving market growth. Further, rapid industrialization and growing demand for polyethylene packaging are other anticipated drivers for the market in the forecast period.
