The global fluoropolymers market size was estimated at USD 6.26 billion in 2017. The market is primarily driven by increasing application and consumption of fluoropolymers in growing construction, automotive and semiconductor industry. The emerging applications of fluoropolymers in fuel cells and batteries is expected to further drive the growth for fluoropolymers market. The market is majorly threatened by rising environmental concerns and stringent regulations against the usage of fluoropolymers.
A fluoropolymer is a polymer that contains molecules of carbon and fluorine. In other words, fluoropolymers are any of a number of organic polymers whose multiple-unit molecules consist of a chain of carbon atoms to which fluorine atoms are attached. The major properties of fluoropolymers are excellent thermal stability, corrosion resistance, low coefficient of friction and chemical inertness among others. Due to such effective and useful properties, fluoropolymers are widely used in various applications such as coatings and insulation across the industries. The major end user industry include automotive, construction, electronics, telecommunications, and others.
Based on product type, the global fluoropolymers market is segmented into PTFE, PVDF, FEP, Fluoroelastomers and others. In the year 2017, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dominated the global fluoropolymers market with 63% market share. PTFE is primarily used in wiring and PCB’s due to its excellent dielectric properties. Furthermore, the PTFE is used for bearings, gears, slide plates and many other industrial applications due to its low friction properties. The wide consumption of PTFE is estimated to grow during the forecast period owing to increasing application areas and consumption from automotive and industrial sectors.
Based on application areas, the global fluoropolymers market is segmented into automotive, electrical & electronics, construction, industrial, and others. The application of fluoropolymers in construction segment is estimated to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. The fluoropolymers are highly in demand specifically in coating applications in commercial and industrial construction segment, which will further drive the market for fluoropolymers in construction industry.
Based on the region, the global fluoropolymers market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Middle East & Africa. The Asia-pacific region dominated the market in 2017, with highest market share in terms of both value and volume. The increasing demand from construction, consumer electronics, automotive and chemical industry is expected to drive the fluoropolymers market in Asia-pacific region. Major economies such as China, India and Indonesia will be leading the markets with growing per capita income, which will eventually fuel the growth for construction and automotive industry.
The global fluoropolymers market is highly competitive. Major global players include 3M, Asahi Glass, Chemours, Daikin, Dongue Group, DowDuPont, Fluorotherm Polymers Inc., Honeywell International Inc., Quadrant AG and Solvay SA.
