North America Flame Retardant Fabric Market Research Report Information by Product Type, by Material (Aramid, Modacrylic, PBO, PBI, Others), by Application and Region Forecast till 2035

Description

List of Tables

In 2024, the North America flame-retardant fabric market reached USD 1,448.60 million, with growth expected at a CAGR of 4.64% between 2025 and 2035. Flame suppressant fabrics are fabrics that can handle severe temperatures and delay/inhibit the spread of fire. Such fabrics are vital for the safety of the wearers and industrial areas where exposure to fire is possible.

Customer awareness of occupational risks as well as safety measures implementation are some of the factors that have contributed to the demand for fire-resistant fabrics in North America. The oil and gas, chemical, and electrical industries are among the biggest consumers of FR clothing and are becoming more dependent on it for accident prevention and the ensuring of employee safety, adherence to safety requirements, and productivity.

Major Company Development

In November 2024, Milliken & Company declared a novel collaboration with NASA for fabricating advanced flame-resistant materials for astronaut underwear in the Artemis program. This project, which entails extremely high-risk, high-concentration-of-oxygen scenarios in space, is aimed at the safety of the astronaut during lunar missions. The prototype completion of the material is scheduled for fall 2024.
