Type (Chemical Synthesis, Physical Smash)
The chemical synthesis segment in the magnesium hydroxide flame retardant market is estimated to gain a significant revenue share over the projected timeframe as it offers several advantages over physical methods. By the end of 2037, the chemical synthesis segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period. Chemical synthesis allows for better control over the purity and particle size of the magnesium hydroxide, which is critical for achieving optimal performance as a flame retardant. Additionally, it also allows for the production of surface-modified magnesium hydroxide, which can further enhance its flame-retardant properties. Surface modification can improve the compatibility between the magnesium hydroxide and the polymer matrix, reduce its impact on the physical and mechanical properties of the material, and improve its performance in harsh environments.
Application (Rubber & Plastic, Construction, Wire & Cables, Coating)
Magnesium hydroxide flame retardant market from the construction segment is estimated to gain a significant revenue share over the projected time frame due to its high efficiency, low cost, and non-toxicity. The segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. Magnesium hydroxide is used as a coating on building materials, such as wood, textiles, and paper to make them more fire-resistant. The coating prevents oxygen from reaching the material and limiting the speed of flames, thereby acting as a barrier. For instance, investment in total residential & nonresidential building construction, in Canada (in USD Billion) was 221 billion which experienced an increase of 19.5% over 2020. Besides, government investments in a plethora of public infrastructure projects such as Housing Projects, Smart Cities, and Connectivity Projects are likely to augment the growth of the construction industry, thereby will increase the demand for magnesium hydroxide flame retardant.

APAC Market Forecast
Asia Pacific industry is predicted to dominate majority revenue share of 53% by 2037. The growth is due to the increasing population and urbanization across Asian countries. This has led to a surge in demand for housing, commercial buildings, and public infrastructure, all of which require fire-resistant materials. For instance, according to the World Bank, value added by industry (including construction) in East Asia & Pacific was 11.37 trillion in 2022 which experienced an increase of 3.1% over 2021. Moreover, increasing production of electronics in the region will propel the demand of magnesium hydroxide flame retardant. For instance, according to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, among the total value of exports in the most countries of Asia, the electronics sector accounts for 20% to 50%.
North American Market Statistics
The North America magnesium hydroxide flame market shows promising CAGR during the forecast period. The North America market for magnesium hydroxide flame retardant is growing faster due to regional regulatory requirements. North America has some of the most stringent regulations governing the use of flame retardants in building materials. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) restricts the use of some halogenated flame retardants in children's products in the United States and many other regulatory bodies namely the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has framed regulations for fire safety. Such regulations require manufacturers to use flame retardants that are environmentally friendly, safe, and effective.
