SUMMARY
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a homopolymer of tetrafluoroethylene,
is a linear chain polymer of great molecular length, or a “long chain”
fluorocarbon, with the chemical formula (CF2CF2)n. PTFE resins have
exceptional resistance to high temperatures, chemical reaction,
corrosion, and stress-cracking. The mechanical toughness, electrical,
and low-friction properties of PTFE make it the plastic of choice for a
host of applications and different processing techniques.
PTFE’s vast potential applications in developing world such as China,
India, Russia and other emerging countries is a key opportunity for
PTFE manufacturers, that would be converted into market demand by
new product and application development. Increasing use of novel
products like modified PTFE and expanded PTFE in applications such
as chemical processing, electrical & electronics, medical devices and
filtration is set to increase the global demand for PTFE in the coming
years. Micronized PTFE is estimated to be the fastest growing product
form owing to the increasing usage in applications including
thermoplastics, lubricants and inks.
Global market for Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has reached 165
thousand metric tons in 2015 and is projected to reach 247 thousand
metric tons by 2022 at a CAGR of 5.6% between 2016 and 2022. In
regard to the market value, global demand for PTFE is projected to
touch US$2.9 billion by 2022. Accounting for a share estimated at
53% and equating to 87.4 thousand metric tons in 2015, Asia-Pacific is
the leading global consumer of PTFE, which is also likely to post the
fastest 2016-2022 CAGR of 7.3%. The chemical processing sector
leads the global volume consumption of PTFE with an estimated 50.9
thousand metric tons (30.9% share). In terms of growth, the volume
market for PTFE in the automotive & transportation sector is likely to
post the fastest 2016-2022 CAGR of 6.9% and reach a projected 34.1
thousand metric tons by 2022.
