3 The catastrophic fire at Grenfell Tower in London has shown how important fire protection is. Flame retardants can delay the development of fires: They provide the fire department and those affected with crucial minutes and seconds for the rescue. Flame retardants act in chemical and physical ways by interrupting the burning process in different phases, i.e. during heating, thermal degradation, combustion, or spread of flames. Overall, about 2.21 million tonnes of flame retardants per year are used in plastic products, electronic devices, construction material, and textiles. Ceresana analyzed the world market for the fifth time already: for brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, as well as ATH, organophosphorus, ATO, and other types. The present study provides both figures of demand and revenues for the overall market as well as demand volume for the particular types of flame retardants and their applications. Use of Flame Retardants - Often Indispensable The construction industry is the most important sales market: About 30% of global demand originate in this segment. Flame retardants are often used in insulating foams made of expandable polystyrene (EPS), extruded polystyrene (XPS), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyurethane (PUR). Flame retardants are also used in numerous onstruction materials made of rubber, in adhesives as well as in paints and varnishes. In the electronics industry, they are used for components such as circuit boards, computer casings, as well as household and telecommunication devices. They are utilized in engineering plastics such as ABS, polyamide, epoxy, and polycarbonate. Other applications are wires, cables, and products for the automotive industry. Until 2024, Ceresana expects demand for flame retardants in the segment transportation to experience the strongest percentage growth. However, construction materials will continue to be the largest application in the upcoming eight years. One Flame Retardant, Many Applications Aluminum trihydroxide (ATH) was by far the bestselling flame retardant in recent years. ATH is used in the pharmaceutical industry, as a chemical intermediate, as a filler in plastics, rubber, cosmetics, and paper, as a glass additive, and in ceramics. Additionally, ATH is used as a non-smoke emitting, low toxicity, halogen-free flame retardant used for plastics, paints, adhesives, sealants, and rubber. Demand for the flame retardant ATH in Europe and the Americas amounts to over 45%. Brominated compounds, used in electronic and electrical products as well as foams, are in second place. Brominated flame retardants are very effective but also controversial. Due to legal provisions, there are significant regional differences: In Western Europe and North America, brominated compounds had market shares of only 6.4% and 12%, respectively, while accounting for 28% in Asia. The Study in Brief: Chapter 1 provides a description and analysis of the global market for flame retardants including forecasts up to 2024: Demand and revenues are provided for each world region. Chapter 2 analyzes the 16 most important countries and their flame retardants revenues and demand in detail. Demand is split by single applications and product types. Additionally, all important manufacturers of flame retardants are listed according to countries. Chapter 3 offers a substantiated analysis of the application for flame retardants: construction materials, electrical & electronics, cables, transport industry, and others. Chapter 4 examines demand for individual types of flame retardants: ATH, brominated compounds, chlorinated compounds, organophosphorus, antimony compounds (ATO), and other. Demand is clearly arranged for each of the 16 countries analyzed in chapter 2 and all world regions. Chapter 5 provides company profiles of the largest manufacturers clearly arranged according to contact details, revenues, profit, product range, production sites, profile summary, and products. In-depth profiles of 82 producers are given, including Akzo Nobel N.V., Aluminum Corp. of China Limited (CHALCO), BASF SE, Huber Engineered Materials, INOVYN ChlorVinyls Limited, Rio Tinto Group, Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC), The Dow Chemical Company, Tosoh Corp., and Wanhua Chemical Group Co., Ltd. 3

Given the below-average growth rate, the North American share of global demand is likely to decline to about XXX% in The market value of flame retardants sold in North America rose at an average rate of XXX% p.a. to USD XXX billion in We forecast revenues to continue to rise by XXX% p.a. in the upcoming eight years.

Table: Demand for flame retardants in North America from 2008 to 2024 split by major countries Around XXX million tonnes of flame retardants were processed in North America in North America is the second largest sales market, surpassed only by Asia-Pacific. The North American demand is dominated by the USA; this country accounts for about XXX% of total demand. We expect demand to increase to approx. XXX tonnes during France Demand on the part of French processors of flame retardants amounted to XXX tonnes in Thus, market volume had decreased by an average of XXX% p.a. since We forecast demand to increase to approx. XXX tonnes by the end of our forecasting horizon. In 2016, flame retardants were most commonly used in the segment construction materials. Between 2016 and 2024, demand in the segment electrical & electronics is likely to experience the strongest percentage growth at a rate of XXX% p.a. In 2016, French economic growth amounted to 1.2%; for the year 2017, we also expect further growth by approx. 1.4%. Mainly private consumption and the companies willingness to spend were responsible for the growth in Private investments are mainly reflected by the rising construction economy but also by the sales of long-lived consumer goods. In 2016, wage level rose and prices decreased. This combination led to rising consumption. In 2017, private consumption and investments of companies will continue to be two important factors for GDP growth. Furthermore, the continuously sinking unemployment rate and the progressing modernization of the industry promised by the new government will contribute to another growth. Therefore, we expect GDP growth to rise constantly in the upcoming years and to amount to approx. 1.7% in Rising private consumption will also increase demand for E&E and thus demand for flame retardants in this segment. With the exception of 2011, investment in both structural engineering and underground construction declined since However, due to increasing building permits as well as rising numbers of sales of apartments, an upward trend has been perceivable since The number of beginnings of new constructions is rising as well: In 2014, beginnings of new constructions rose to approx. 359,000 units. In 2015, this amount even rose slightly, and in 2016, further increases compared to the previous year were registered as well. We forecast another growth for 2017 as well. Residential demand of up to apartments every year until 2030 will presumably persist. In the years to come, about EUR 2 billion are to be invested in residential construction and city development in Greater Paris. The positive development of the construction industry will also have positive effects on the demand for flame retardants. As in the previous year, the French automotive industry recovered in Due to increasing demand originating in the South European countries, production of passenger cars as well as the sales of new cars rose. In the first five months of 2017, sales of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles continued to increase as well. Sales of trucks and buses also accounted for high growth rates, among others due to the ban on old commercial vehicles. The total number of new vehicle registrations increased further and amounted to around 2.48 million units in However, the emissions scandal had a negative impact on the sales of diesel vehicles. Accordingly, sales of vehicles with a diesel engine decreased considerably in We assume that the market for diesel vehicles will continue to decline in the future after the introduction of the new environmental badges in July In contrast, demand for electric cars increased further due to high subsidies. Thus, France became the largest European market for hybrid and electric cars in the first quarter of The upswing of the French automotive industry continued in The market analysts of Ceresana expect vehicle production to increase further. The supply industry was also able to increase its revenues. Especially suppliers of components could generate a strong growth in the past years due to the increasing demand from the German automotive industry. In the upcoming years, this will have a positive effect on the demand for flame retardants in these segments. 5
