Global Fluoropolymers Market Overview

Fluoropolymers are polymers that have several strong carbon-fluorine bonds.  Fluoropolymers possess many unique properties such as chemical resistance and mechanical and electrical insulation. These properties make fluoropolymers attractive as highly durable protective coatings in many different architectural coating formulations, particularly those intended for exterior applications due to the need for excellent weather ability. Fluoropolymers are very popular in industrial processing industries owing to their chemical and oil-resistant properties.

It is common to use plastic items in many various surgeries, such as corneas or heart valves. Such products can affect the body toxically, as they are not biocompatible. This also raises significant long-term questions about the overall health of the patient. This made the use of fluoropolymers in such medical procedures extremely attractive.  

COVID-19 Impact Analysis:

The restrictions imposed by various nations to contain COVID had stopped the demand and supply resulting in a disruption across the whole supply chain. The downturn in the automotive and aerospace industries has experienced a significant decline due to the lack of labor and production facility closures. These all factors are responsible for the decline in sales of the market. However, the global markets are slowly opening to their full potential and theirs a surge in demand.

The market will remain bullish in the upcoming year.  The significant decrease in the global Fluoropolymers market size in 2020 is estimated on the basis of the COVID-19 outbreak and its negative impact on economies and industries across the globe. Various scenarios have been analyzed on the basis of inputs from various secondary sources and the current data available about the situation.  

Fluoropolymers Market: Growth Factors

The global fluoropolymer market is expected to grow at a steady rate within the forecast period. The unique properties of fluoropolymers are one of the major factors driving this market growth.  Furthermore, a wide service temperature range, high melting point, high crystallinity, weather ability, and reflectivity to intense UV rays can be achieved using fluoropolymers over conventional polymers. Fluoropolymers are also utilized in miniaturization of circuit boards and electronics because of their dielectric property.

Moreover, fluoropolymers have wide applications in aircraft bearings and seals, high-capacity automotive, and coatings of kitchenware as they have low friction and non-stick properties. They can be used in various industries leading to their augmented adoption in the forecast period.
