The global fluoropolymer market size is expected to reach USD 17.9 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% from 2024 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. High tensile strength and excellent insulation properties have driven fluoropolymer penetration in electronics, automotive and construction applications. Positive outlook on these end-use industries is expected to be one of the primary growth factors over the forecast period.
Increasing government spending on infrastructure in China, India and the Middle East is expected to drive architectural coatings demand. Fluoropolymer coatings exhibit protection against corrosion & chemicals and high temperature tolerance, which makes them useful for architectural applications. In addition, these coatings are used in automobiles for protection against scratches and abrasions. DuPont (Chemours) manufactures and markets fluoropolymer coating under the brand name, Teflon.
The industrial processing sector has accounted for the dominant market share in 2023 owing to its robust expansion. It is used in a wide range of applications including gears, sliding plates and bearings, which require low friction. Expansion of manufacturing industry in India, China, Mexico, Brazil and Russia is expected to drive demand for PTFE as an additional lubricant.
