Growing Health Concerns Push Governments to Increase Regulations
Perhaps one of the biggest growth factors for the global flame retardant fabrics market is the rise in the number of restrictions and regulations that governing bodies are imposing to protect both civilians and government workers. For example, suits meant to be worn by firefighters are inherently flame retardant and thus have to be approved by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and acknowledged by the Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI)

The Few Problems that the Global Flame Retardant Fabrics Market Faces
Not all textiles that are flame retardant are washable. However, inherently, flame retardant textiles are washable, as their flame retardant property lies in the fiber itself. On the other hand, textiles on which flame retardant finishing agents have been applied are meant to be dry-cleaned, using non-liquid means only. Using liquids aid in the fading of the finishing agent, as most of them are soluble in liquids.

Although it is a market for necessary goods, the global flame retardant fabrics market is still met with a few obstacles. The greatest restraint on this market is the high cost of flame retardant materials. It is difficult to incorporate such textiles and finishing agents wherever required, due to either budget constraints or a plain lack of awareness. The market’s growth was not as fast as previously expected. All in all, the market’s growth prospects in law enforcement and firefighting have currently slowed down, while it is picking up steam in the transport sector due to the availability of a broader range of flame retardant products.
