The environmentally friendly flame retardant industry is a regulation-driven industry and a globally competitive industry. Therefore, related laws and regulations at home and abroad have been promulgated and gradually improved, which has affected the overall flame retardant industry. It has advantages in resources, economies of scale and R & D. Advantaged companies provide development opportunities. China's "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" includes flame retardant materials into key development industries, and has established a strategic alliance for technological innovation in the green flame retardant industry, which provides a policy platform for the development of the flame retardant material industry.

Flame retardant science and technology is a science developed to meet the needs of social safety in production and life, prevent fires, and protect people's lives and property. Flame retardant is the application of flame retardant technology in real life. It is a special chemical additive used to improve the combustion performance of combustible and flammable materials. It is widely used in the flame retardant processing of various decoration materials. The production and application of flame retardants have entered a stage of steady development after experiencing vigorous development in the early 1980s. With the development of China's synthetic material industry and the continuous expansion of application fields, flame retardants have broad market prospects in various fields such as chemical building materials, electronics and electrical appliances, transportation, aerospace, daily furniture, interior decoration, food, clothing and housing. In addition, coal fields, oil fields, forest fire suppression and other fields have also promoted the rapid development of flame retardant and fire extinguishing agent production in China. China's flame retardant has developed into the second largest polymer material modification additive after plasticizers. In recent years, China's flame retardant production and consumption situation has continued to develop. The domestic consumption of flame retardants has risen sharply. The increased market share is mainly derived from two aspects: the electronics and automotive markets.

The varieties and consumption of domestic flame retardants are mainly organic flame retardants, while the production and consumption of inorganic flame retardants are still relatively small, but in recent years, the development momentum is good and the market potential is large. Although the most commonly used halogen flame retardants among flame retardants have unparalleled high efficiency of other flame retardant series, its harm to the environment and people cannot be ignored. Environmental protection is the focus of the development and application of additives. Therefore, domestic and foreign countries have been adjusting the product structure of flame retardants and increasing the development of efficient and environmentally friendly flame retardants. Halogen-free, low-smoke, low-toxic flame retardants have always been the goals pursued by people. In recent years, people have shown great enthusiasm for halogen-free development of flame retardants, invested great efforts, and achieved considerable results. With the strengthening of the country's requirements for flame retardant technology, the development and development of flame retardants in China will have a better and broader prospect. China should improve its ability to develop and innovate, and promote the development of flame retardant industry in the direction of environmental protection, low toxicity, high efficiency and multifunctionality.
