Fluorochemical agents in commercial use!

The global fluorochemicals market is expected to exhibit significant growth during the forecast period, 2018-2023, due to the rising demand for refrigerants in numerous end-use industries, such as automotive, electronics, building & construction, pharmaceuticals, and food & beverage. Asia-Pacific accounted for a 43% share of the global fluorochemicals market in 2017 and is expected to show remarkable growth during the forecast period owing to the fast economic growth and less regulatory pressure in the region. North America and Europe are other major markets for fluorochemicals.

Fluorochemicals Market Analysis and Report Forecast 2023

Rapid industrialization in developing economies, especially India, China, and South-East Asian countries, is likely to propel the demand for refrigerants during the review period. Infrastructure development, with rising residential and commercial construction such as warehouses, departmental stores, and malls, has fueled the demand for HVAC systems, which, in turn, is likely to stimulate the demand for fluorochemicals. Additionally, the increasing use of fluoropolymers in emerging applications such as water filtration and solar and photovoltaic is expected to drive market growth. Furthermore, fluorochemicals are being increasingly used in various automotive parts such as fuel hose insulations, tubing, and engines due to their thermal stability, high tensile strength, lightweight, and strong dielectric properties. The expanding automotive industry with the growing demand for hydrogen fuel cell, electric, and lightweight vehicles is likely to drive the fluorochemicals market during the review period. However, the use of refrigerants, such as CFC, HFC, and hydrochlorofluorocarbons HCFC, is subject to regulations under international treaties, such as the Montreal Protocol and the Kyoto Protocol, due to their hazardous impact on the environment and human health, which may restrain the growth of the market to some extent during the forecast period.
