The Global Flame-Retardant Apparel Market is expected to be valued at USD 27.87 Billion in 2027 from USD 10.30 Billion in 2019, registering a CAGR of 13.2% through the forecast period. The market is observing an increased demand owing to the soaring application of flame-retardant apparel in various end-user industries such as pharmaceuticals, paint, chemical, pulp and paper, and food processing. The attire is designed with a specific purpose to endure and survive combustion and usually fulfills the purpose. The high-strength of flame-resistant apparel enables it to prevent fire from rising to extremities.
Growing requirements for wear- and tear-resistant products that are lighter, convenient to use, and have enhanced heat-tolerance is projected to attract interest from the market players to boost the R&D activities to improve the efficiency of the products. The increasing inclination towards durable and multi-purpose apparel combined with improved chemical and mechanical resistance is projected to further fuel the demand for flame-retardant apparel in the estimated timeframe.
Flame retardant apparel is generally developed from non-conductive textiles that prohibit the melting of clothing on the wearer's skin. The garments are required to conform to the regulations implemented by safety equipment organizations such as the National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Aramid fabrics and carbon fibers are the predominately used raw materials to produce waterproof apparel. However, the high costs of high-performance fibers and rising production expenses are projected to impede the market demand in the estimated projected years.
