Fire Resistant Fabric Market Dynamics and Trends

The Expanding Demand From Numerous End-use Industries for Fire-resistant Materials

The rising demand for fire-resistant materials from a variety of end-use industries, together with an increase in the number of fire and safety laws, have both contributed to the growth of the market in this area. The primary factor anticipated to propel the expansion of the market is an increase in demand for flame retardants from a variety of end-use sectors, including construction, textiles, electrical and electronics and transportation. ​

The Rising Demand From Armed Forces

Armed soldiers reporting for duty may be exposed to a variety of dangers, such as flash fires and unexpected explosive devices. Armed forces including the military, navy and air forces want self-extinguishing materials to combat these dangers because they are made to withstand heat, fire and other similar climatic factors without melting or dripping. For instance, Burlington Industries LLC stated in June 2019 that it would provide wool-blend textiles for the jacket, tie and bottoms of the New Army Green Service Uniform of the U.S.
