Fluoropolymer Films Market Trends




  • Increased adoption in the electrical and electronics industries drives market growth




Market CAGR for fluoropolymer film used in the electrical and electronics industries is likely to fuel market growth throughout the forecast period. Fluoropolymer films consisting of FEP, PFA, ETFE, Matte ETFE, and cast PTFE have excellent dielectric properties as well as chemical and temperature resistance and weldability. Fluoropolymer films are utilized in a range of electrical applications, including circuit board laminates and high-temperature insulation tapes for wrapping wire and cable. ETFE films are used as release films in electronics because they retain their exceptional release capabilities and minimal cushioning at high temperatures.


It is also employed as a cushioning or releasing media in the Film Assisted Moulding (FAM) procedures used to build semiconductors and integrated circuits. Fluoropolymer films increase productivity by removing the need to clean the mould between uses and lowering the release force required to withdraw the integrated circuit from the mould. As a result, these factors will drive market expansion over the forecast period.


The pharmaceutical industry's increasing demand for blister packaging is expected to drive the expansion of the worldwide fluoropolymer film market. It is a pocket or cavity composed of thermoformed plastic. The lidding seal of blister packaging is commonly made of Aluminium foil or plastic. Blister packing is useful for preserving products from outside elements like moisture and preventing contamination. As a result, the growing need for blister packaging from the pharmaceutical industry is moving the fluoropolymer film market forward.


The fast expansion of the medical and pharmaceutical industries, mostly due to rising population, urbanization, rising disposable income, and rising demand for innovative medical equipment across regions, is driving market growth. Furthermore, rising investment in healthcare services is bolstering the medical and pharmaceutical industries. As an example In 2014, China spent 5.6 per cent of its GDP (USD992 billion) on health care, with 38 per cent financed by publicly financed health insurance, private health insurance, or social health donations, and 30 per cent financed by the central government and local governments.


The Australian Government announced in 2018 that it will invest $1.3 billion in the Health and Medical Industry Growth Plan to usher in a new age of improved healthcare in Australia. Thailand, according to the Thailand Board of Investment, is currently a prominent player in the $2.3 trillion medical business. The market will flourish as a result of cumulative healthcare spending by various countries in order to meet the safety needs of a growing population, which will act as a driver throughout the projected period.


Fluoropolymer Films Market Segment Insights


Fluoropolymer Films Type Insights


The Fluoropolymer Films Market segmentation, based on type includes PTFE, PVDF, FEP, PFA, ETFE, and PCTFE. The PTFE segment is predicted to increase at the quickest rate over the projection period due to its strong dielectric and chemical resistance capabilities, as well as its ability to absorb UV electromagnetic energy. Furthermore, it can be used in both extremely low (-530 K) and highly hot temperatures. These properties are found in a wide range of products, including semiconductors, electrical appliances, auto parts, and nonstick frying pans. Furthermore, as the price of raw materials used to make resins, pigments, and fillers has risen over time, so has the price of PTFE. Gujarat Fluorochemical Limited, for example, use INOFLON PTFE Resins, engineering plastic intended for superior performance under the most demanding conditions.
