The study provides historical data from 2015 to 2018 along with a forecast from 2019 to 2025 based on volume (Million Square Feet) and revenue (USD Million). The study includes drivers and restraints for the flame retardant polyester staple fiber market along with the impact they have on the demand over the forecast period. Additionally, the report includes the study of opportunities and various trends in the flame retardant polyester staple fiber market on a global as well as regional level.

As per the report, the global demand for flame retardant polyester staple fiber market was valued approximately USD 180.9 million in 2018 and is expected to generate revenue of around USD 230.9 million by end of 2025, growing at a CAGR of around 3.6% between 2019 and 2025.


Flame retardant polyester staple fibers are made using PTA and MEG or PET chips from recycled bottles. The flame retardant property is imparted into the polyester staple fiber during the production by adding chemicals during the process of co-polymerization. They are widely used in cushions, sofas, clothing, special garments, and other products. They inhibit the growth of the flame with a self-extinguishing property as they do not produce the toxic gases.

Growth in the textile industry across the globe is analyzed to be the major driving factor for the growth of the global flame retardant polyester staple fiber market. Moreover, home furnishing industry across the globe has witnessed significant growth. Growing e-commerce sector coupled with growth in millennial population has aided the growth of the home furnishings industry. They are widely used in cushions, sofas, curtains, bed covers, etc. They have been gaining huge popularity owing to its superior strength as well as its quick drying property. Moreover, demand from the emerging economies such as China and India is expected to be another major driving factor for the growth of the flame retardant polyester staple fiber market. Initiatives from the government to encourage domestic manufacturing such as tax incentives and low labor cost are expected to provide ample growth opportunities for the key players operating in the global flame retardant polyester staple fiber market. However, low awareness regarding the benefits of flame retardant fibers is expected to slightly restrain the growth of the global flame retardant polyester staple fibers market.
