Global $16.2 Billion High-Performance Films Markets 2016-2017 & 2021: Overview of High-Performance Oesins and their Chemistries with Focus on Fluoropolymer Films

Dublin, March 27, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "High-Performance Films: Global Markets" report to their offering. The Global High-Performance Films Market Should Reach $16.2 Billion by 2021 from $11.2 Billion in 2016 at a CAGR of 7.7%

High-performance films can be defined in any of several ways: volume, price, performance, end-use markets, resin types, or a combination of two or more of these characteristics. For this study, high-performance films are defined as thin-gauge, mostly extruded or solution cast polymer sheets that meet at least one of the following criteria: pricing above commodity film levels, continuous-use temperature above commodity plastics, and end-uses requiring technical capability and thickness at or below 30 mils. These are films that are used primarily for their performance characteristics, not their price with emphasis on the markets and products with the greatest potential for growth. Therefore, the distinguishing characteristics of high-performance films are as follows: - Relatively expensive. - Thin gauge (compared to sheet). - Special performance characteristics. - Significant applications other than packaging. High-performance films are generally fabricated (or converted) in relatively small volumes (at least compared to commodity films). Much of their value is created after the film is extruded. The focal point is on high-performance resins and their chemistries, including the following: - Polyesters, primarily PET. We use PET interchangeably with polyester throughout this report. - Polyolefin-based specialty film resins. - Polyamides (Nylons). - Polycarbonates (PCs). - Bioplastics, a newer group of plastics. - Fluoropolymers. - Acrylic films based on PMMA chemistry. - Polyimides (PIs). - Cyclic olefin copolymers (COCs). - Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN). - Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs). - Polysulfones. - Polyetherimides. Fluoropolymer films are an important of this report. They include the following: - Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). - Polyvinyl fluoride (PVF). - Fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). - Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE). - Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF). - Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA). - Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE). - Ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE). The geographic scope of this report is the global market, including the U.S., Europe, China, Asia and others regions. Market estimates are by resin volumes in millions of pounds rounded to the nearest million. We round to millions since, with so many similar products and applications, market estimates are not precise beyond millions of pounds, if that. Many applications markets for particular films are less than a million pounds, and we round estimated volumes greater than a half-million up to 1 million. Also, compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) for table entries with small volumes may not match the 2016 and 2021 volumes because of rounding. Estimated values used are based on manufacturers' total revenues.
