Dublin, Aug. 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) - A Global Market Overview" report to their offering. Global demand for PTFE is projected to touch US$2.9 billion by 2022.
Global market for Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has reached 165 thousand metric tons in 2015 and is projected to reach 247 thousand metric tons by 2022 at a CAGR of 5.6% between 2016 and 2022. Accounting for a share estimated at 53% and equating to 87.4 thousand metric tons in 2015, Asia-Pacific is the leading global consumer of PTFE, which is also likely to post the fastest 2016-2022 CAGR of 7.3%.
PTFE's vast potential applications in developing world such as China, India, Russia and other emerging countries is a key opportunity for PTFE manufacturers, that would be converted into market demand by new product and application development. Increasing use of novel products like modified PTFE and expanded PTFE in applications such as chemical processing, electrical & electronics, medical devices and filtration is set to increase the global demand for PTFE in the coming years. Micronized PTFE is estimated to be the fastest growing product form owing to the increasing usage in applications including thermoplastics, lubricants and inks.
Worldwide market for PTFE product forms explored in this study includes Granular PTFE, PTFE Fine Powders, PTFE Micronized Powders and PTFE Aqueous Dispersions. The report also analyzes the key end-use sectors of PTFE comprising Chemical Processing, Electricals & Electronics, Mechanical/Industrial, Automotive & Transportation, Building & Construction and Other Sectors including such as Medical and Textiles etc. The global markets for the above mentioned product forms, end-use sectors are analyzed in terms of volume in metric tons and value in USD.
The chemical processing sector leads the global volume consumption of PTFE with an estimated 50.9 thousand metric tons (30.9% share). In terms of growth, the volume market for PTFE in the automotive & transportation sector is likely to post the fastest 2016-2022 CAGR of 6.9% and reach a projected 34.1 thousand metric tons by 2022. The report reviews, analyses and projects the Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) market for the period 2012-2022 globally and the regional markets including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of World.
