Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Market Share, Global Industry Forecast 2023

Posted by Payal Singhania on March 18th, 2020

Polytetrafluoroethylene Market Overview

Polytetrafluoroethylene, aka PTFE, is a fluorocarbon solid that is formed through the process of polymerization of the monomer tetrafluoroethylene (TFE). As PTFE is non-reactive in nature, it is extensively used in pipeworks and containers for reactive and corrosive chemicals. It is even used as a lubricant due to its striking ability of reducing the consumption of wear and fuel in machinery and as graft material in the healthcare sector.

The global polytetrafluoroethylene market is extremely lucrative in nature and is primarily driven by the demand from automotive and industrial and chemical processing industries. As per the report released by the team of Market Research Future (MRFR), the globular market is anticipated to exhibit a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period.

Polytetrafluoroethylene Market Segmentation

The global polytetrafluoroethylene market segmentation is done in terms of application, form, and region.

By form, the market includes fine powder, granular/molded powder, micronized powder, and dispersion. The granular/molded powder segment held the largest share of the market in 2017 and is expected to hold onto the same in the near future. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the cost-competitive nature of granular PTFR and ease of production. Additionally, granular PTFE provides various key and excellent properties like water repellency, high thermal resistance, and enhanced chemical resistance. These properties make it highly ideal for the manufacturing of valves, plates, gaskets, rods, expansion joints, pistons, and seals,

By application, the market segments into chemical and industrial processing, aerospace, consumer goods, building and construction, automotive, pharmaceuticals electrical and electronics, and others. The chemical and industrial processing segment holds the largest share of the market and is expected to remain dominant in the forthcoming years.

By region, the market covers North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa.
