The China flame retardant apparel market size is estimated to reach USD 332.8 million by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.0% from 2025 to 2030. Increasing demand for flame retardant apparel in the end-use industries, such as law enforcement and defense, oil and gas, and petrochemical, is expected to fuel the market growth in China.
According to a survey conducted by the University of Science and Technology of China in 2018, a large proportion of firefighters experienced difficulty in moving ankles, elbows, arms, knees, and thighs, and more than 45% of the people surveyed experienced overheating during firefighting. As a result, the need for improved fire safety clothing is likely to drive product demand.
Leakage and explosion were the major types of casualty accidents, accounting for 59.5% of the overall accidents, followed by fire incidents, accounting for 24.0% of the total casualty accidents. As a result, the need for flame retardant apparel is high in China, which is expected to propel the demand for the product in the industrial sector.
With the presence of a large number of manufacturers in the market, buyers can enter into direct contracts with manufacturers based on their requirements. This is projected to reduce the cost of switching suppliers and elevate buyer power. In addition, the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a decreased demand in 2020 owing to complete lockdowns.
