Decabromodiphenyl Ether Market Size

Decabromodiphenyl Ether Market Size

Decabromodiphenyl Ether Market size exceeded USD 300 million in 2018 and industry expects consumption of over 50 kilo tons by 2025.

Growing demand for high performance chemicals in plastics, electronics, electric insulation and building & construction activities pertaining to their high effectiveness and resistance against fire should stimulate the decabromodiphenyl ether market size. The chemical substance offers effective, long term ignition resistance which act as a major driver for the market. Global buildings & construction market was accounted at over USD 8 trillion in 2018 which may foster themarket demand as it is used for insulation and wiring application in buildings.  
 

Decabromodiphenyl ether is extensively used in plastics and electronics industry owing to its flame-retardant property. Global electronics sales revenue accounted for over USD 337.75 billion which shows significant opportunities for the market. These synthetic substances are added to plastics and other materials to retard combustibility. During the occurrence of fire, decaBDE ether interfere with the combustion process and delay the ignition & spreading of fire. Rising electronic equipment applications may foster the demand for flame retardant plastics in wires & cables, thereby stimulating the industry growth.  
 

Decabromodiphenyl ether however is a major source of toxicity which in turn has shifted consumer inclination towards greener alternatives. The synthetic substance is found at low concentrations in air and is susceptible to long range atmospheric transport which may significantly hamper the market growth.
