Antimony Trioxide, a crucial flame retardant and synergist, finds diverse applications in various industries. It effectively retards flame spread and enhances the fire resistance of materials such as plastics, textiles, and rubber. In the electronics sector, it acts as a key component in flame-retardant circuit boards and cables. Additionally, Antimony Trioxide serves as a catalyst in the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, showcasing its significance in modern manufacturing processes.
The global antimony trioxide market size is expected to attain a valuation of US$ 1.44 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 2.44 billion by 2033 while exhibiting a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period.
Many of the world’s antimony reserves are dedicated to producing flame-retardant raw materials, particularly antimony trioxide. Powdered antimony trioxide is either chemically incorporated or physically blended into various products, including textiles.
Antimony (Sb) is used in flame retardant apparel although it is not a flame retardant by itself due to its ability to suppress and reduce the spread of flames when combined with halogens like bromine in polymers. Also, Sb2O3 finds widespread application in plastics, rubbers, paints, textiles, industrial safety garments, and children’s clothing to impart fire resistance.
The demand for flame retardants is further propelled by stringent regulations mandated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), particularly in industries like electric power generation, transformation, control, and transmission, where electrical arcs pose a common hazard for workers. For example,
- OHSA regulation 1910.269, known as the 269 Standard, is relevant to employees in such industries, thus driving the demand for flame retardants and boosting the antimony market.
The driving forces behind the market growth are increasing demand from the Asia Pacific and Latin America. These regions are experiencing a surge in building and construction activities, along with an increased demand for electrical and electronic products, both for personal and business use.
The significant economic development and industrialization in these developing nations have significantly expanded the consumer base, presenting remarkable growth opportunities for the antimony trioxide market in the Asia Pacific region. Moreover, the global demand for polyethylene plastic, especially for food packaging containers and polyethylene (PET) bottles, is steadily rising, consequently driving the demand for antimony trioxide for its production.
