The global anhydrous hydrogen fluoride market size is expected to reach USD 4.70 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.0% from 2025 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth is driven majorly by the burgeoning demand for fluorochemicals and fluorogases. Fluorine based chemicals further find application in consumer goods, agrochemicals, steel production, refrigeration applications, polymers, and pharmaceuticals.
Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is an important raw material in the chemicals industry. It is used in the production of fluorine-containing compounds. Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is used as an intermediate chemical for manufacturing fluorochemicals. The increasing demand for fluoropolymers and other fluorochemicals from end-use industries is driving market growth.
Fluorogases and fluorochemicals are used in the majority of consumer goods hence the demand from industrial applications is anticipated to be the main contributor, driven by positive steady growth in disposable incomes. Given that these gases are employed in a variety of industrial applications, such as air conditioning systems, commercial refrigeration, and industrial refrigeration, growth in the fluorogases is predicted to continue to be strong.
The demand for anhydrous hydrogen fluoride has increased due to the fact that it is a key component in the manufacture of many fluorine-containing chemicals. For the production of fluorochemicals, fluoropolymers, surfactants, etc., anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is used. These chemicals produced are widely used in automobiles, household utensils, etc.
An increase in fluorochemical production as a result of the sufficient availability of raw materials like fluorite is helping to support the market growth for anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. Anhydrous hydrogen fluoride producers are therefore moving and expanding their production plants globally.
The global demand for anhydrous hydrogen fluoride is rising as a result of the increasing demand for electric goods like air conditioners and refrigerators. The major players in the market engage in extensive research and development efforts to provide highly effective products in order to maintain their position in the industry.
