U.S. 83% Purity Decabromodiphenyl Ether Market Size, By Material, 2018 & 2025, (Kilo Tons)
In the past, commercial decabromodiphenyl ether (decaBDE) constituted 75%-80% of the global production of PBDEs (Polybrominated diphenyl ethers), while the total production of c-decaBDE over 1970-2005 was recorded around 1.1 million to 1.25 million tons. DecaBDE consumption peaked in the early 2000’s and continues to be used worldwide.
In the building industry, decaBDE is used to develop paper foil laminate, home insulation, hot melt adhesive and architectural foam. In the rubber industry, decaBDE powder is used to manufacture flame retardant rubber conveyor belts that are used in underground coal mines, and to manufacture ventilation bands used as air ducts sealants in mine ventilation systems.
DecaBDE is also found in plastics used in electrical appliances and equipment such as computers, circuit boards, cable insulations and casings. Other uses in the transportation sector include fabrics of automobiles and aircrafts. Driven by a widespread application spectrum, decabromodiphenyl ether industry size may register significant growth over the coming years.
Based on material, decabromodiphenyl ether market is segmented into acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), polyolefins, polyvinylchloride, polyurethane, polypropylene. ABS is often used in automotive and electrical equipment. It exhibits excellent mechanical properties, thus offering good impact strength.
ABS offers good electrical insulating properties, on account of which it finds applications in products like electrical connections, light switches, power points and more. Control housing covers are also made using ABS. Additionally, ABS resins are used in injection molding of parts for medical devices, domestic electrical appliances, and automotive casings. Rising inclination toward the product owing to its superior surface appearance and fire-retardant properties will impel ABS-based decabromodiphenyl ether market share.

Surging ABS demand in electrical & electronics appliances and in the construction industry will also fuel the overall acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) market, a marginal impact of which will be felt across decaBDE industry.
Decabromodiphenyl ether market has registered considerable growth from textile industry. DecaBDE is used to treat a wide range of synthetic, blended and natural fibers. It is used in products like upholstery, window blinds, curtains, mattress textiles and more. It may also be used in synthetic latex foam in protective clothing, carpets, upholstery fabric, tents, and interiors fabrics used in cars, trains and aircraft.
DecaBDE is commonly applied using back coating process in the textiles industry. Padding processes and printing processes are also used to apply this flame retardant chemical. Increasing disposable incomes along with changing lifestyles have enhanced consumer spending on household fabrics, which is anticipated to accelerate product demand in the textile industry.
APAC decabromodiphenyl ether industry is growing on account of high-production demand for flame retardant, especially across China and India. Indeed, the demand for flame retardants has increased exponentially in China, mainly as the country produces large volumes of electronic devices for global markets. According to reliable reports, China’s electronics production volume grew from 10% in 2016 to 14.5% in April 2017.
Demand for improved fire retardant and durable plastics for consumer electronics should foster decaBDE demand. Moreover, rapid urbanization has led to increased demand for decaBDE in the residential and commercial building sectors, accelerating the APAC decabromodiphenyl ether market share.
Decabromodiphenyl ether is a flame retardant used to enhance the strength, durability and chemical resistance of numerous end-user products. Increasing application in the automotive, textile and construction industries has accelerated industry growth in recent times. Global Market Insights, Inc., estimates decaBDE market size to exceed USD 430 million by 2025.

Ceramic-based aerospace insulation market to gain commendable remuneration over 2018-2024, R&D activities to strongly characterize the global industry landscape
In the recent years, global aerospace insulation market has been witnessing an exponential growth owing to the surging demand for light weight aircrafts equipped with lower thermal conductivity and enhanced safety. As per the recently published estimates of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the worldwide demand for air travel incremented by 7.2 percent in October 2017 and the airline capacity increased by 6.2 per cent. To add to it, the foremost trade organization, representing some 275 airlines of the world, has predicted that the global airlines industry is set to garner a record profit in the year 2018, courtesy the recent upswing in developed economies and the burgeoning tourism sector, which would eventually contribute immensely to aerospace insulation market.
U.S. Aerospace Insulation Market, By Product, 2017 & 2024, (Tons)
Apparently, the rapid escalation in air passenger traffic has compelled the aerospace regulating authorities across various nations to prescribe stringent laws regarding the utilization of insulating materials by aircraft manufacturers to enhance the operational safety of the aircrafts. Consequentially, it goes without saying that the aforementioned factors are bound to impel the overall aerospace insulation industry over the forthcoming years.
Ceramics to emerge as a robust investment hub for aerospace insulation market contenders:
Concurrently, while contemplating upon the growth trajectory of aerospace insulation industry, which held a total remuneration in excess of 3 billion in the year 2017, it is rather imperative to cite the significance of insulating materials utilized in this business space. The insulating products utilized across various types of aircrafts include mineral wool, foamed plastics, fiber glass, and ceramic materials. Out of these, ceramics are anticipated to emerge as the most popularly used material, courtesy their high tensile strength, steep melting temperature, and impressive chemical inertness.
