Fluorochemicals Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product (Fluorocarbons, Fluoropolymers, Inorganic Chemicals, Gases, Specialty Organics), By Application (Refrigerant, Aluminum Production, Blowing Agent, Others) Others and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Fluorochemicals are the hydrocarbons that consist of fluorine. These are the chemical compounds in which at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by fluorine. Fluorochemicals are popular in fields of medical and dental, and chemical manufacturing.  It is used in plasma etching in semiconductors and light bulbs, and to produce flat display panels and plastics such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). As the world population is growing at an exponential rate, the demand for fluorochemicals is expected to grow for applications in refrigeration, HVAC, construction, and others.

The key market driver for the global fluorochemicals market is the rising demand for HVAC technology from the construction industry. The rising commercial and residential construction activities in developing countries around the world have led to the growth in demand for ventilation systems throughout the building, thereby increasing the demand for fluorochemicals for refrigeration applications.

Key market restraint for the global fluorochemicals market is the stringent regulations on the use, and the manufacture of fluoropolymers, imposed by various government and regulatory bodies is expected to hamper the growth of the market. Perfluorooctanoic acid, which is used in non-stick coatings of cookwares, is found to have carcinogenic properties, which may affect the growth of the market.
