Global Fluoropolymer Films Market information: by Type (PTFE, PVDF, FEP, PFA, ETFE and PCTFE), Application (electrical & electronics, construction, automotive, aerospace and others), Region - Forecast till 2027

Market Overview

Fluoropolymer Films Market is expected to grow at Significant CAGR from 2019 to 2023 as per MRFR Analysis

Fluoropolymers films are made of complex base materials, which offer high chemical resistance, weather resistance, low coefficient of friction, optical properties, and dielectric properties, and others. Superior properties possessed by the product makes it suitable for use in various end-use industries such as electrical & electronics, construction, automotive, aerospace, pharmaceutical, and renewable energy among others. The product is widely used in wire & cables, parts for semiconductor tubes, fuel tubes for vehicles, mold release for the microphone, roofing material, photovoltaic module, cap liner, and solar cells among others.

The global fluoropolymer films market growth is driven by the rapidly growing electrical & electronics industry worldwide. Surging demand for personal devices such as television, smartphones, smart watches, home appliances, and wearable devices is likely to propel the market growth. Miniaturization of electronic devices with technological advancements is another important factor boosting the market development globally.

Growing investment in the residential and commercial construction activities in the developing economies coupled with rising purchasing power and improving living standard of the consumers is uplifting the market growth. Increasing spending by the government in construction activities for the infrastructural development of the country is likely to exhibit lucrative opportunities to the fluoropolymer films market.

Furthermore, growing need for lightweight and fuel efficient vehicles owing to rising environmental regulations to reduce carbon emission is expected to fuel the product demand in both developed and developing regions.

In 2017, Dunmore, a leading engineered film company, introduced new adhesion-promoting technology for fluoropolymer films for use in applications that require printability, surface modification, and multi-layer laminations. Moreover, recently, Acton Technologies Inc., a world leader in fluoropolymer surface modification, has introduced new film- Calendered fluoropolymer film (modified PTFE film) to be used in the applications that require lightweight.

However, high cost of raw materials required for fluoropolymers synthesis is likely  to affect the market growth negetively during the forecast period. Moreover, the complex production technique and lack of awareness may hamper the demand for fluoropolymer films.
