Global Fluorine Polymer Film Industry Outlook


Product Definition:


A fluorine polymer film is a thin film of material that is composed of polymers that contain the element fluorine. Fluorine polymer films are used in a variety of applications, including as coatings for optical devices and as barriers to protect against environmental contamination.


PTFE Film:


It can be produced with different thickness ranging from 1 to 200 microns and has applications in chemical sensors, semiconductor devices and solar cells.


FEP Film:


Fluorine Ethylene Propylene (FEP) film is a type of fluoropolymer film that contains an average of 4% to 5% by weight of propylene. It is produced through the polymerization process using hexafluoropropylene as a raw material.


Application Insights:


The automotive & aerospace application segment led the global fluorine polymer film market in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. Rising use of lightweight materials in aircraft manufacturing on account of increasing fuel costs has resulted in increased demand for plastics with high impact resistance, which is expected to drive growth over the next eight years.


Fluorine polymers are used as sealants and coatings for aluminum extrusions that are used within aircraft interiors owing to their superior properties including low thermal conductivity, high chemical stability, excellent corrosion resistance and weathering strength. These properties make them suitable for use as components that will be exposed to extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +70°C or more during flight operations or while being stored on a storage rack after landing at an airport gatehouse.


Regional Analysis:


Asia Pacific was the largest market in 2017 and accounted for a revenue share of over 40%. The region is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. This can be attributed to growing automotive production, coupled with rising demand from other key industries such as electrical & electronics and packaging.


The growth of end-use industries in developing economies, such as China and India, is anticipated to drive fluoropolymers demand across Asia Pacific during the forecast period. In addition, favorable government policies promoting domestic manufacturing are likely to contribute towards higher regional product consumption levels during the same period.


Growth Factors:


  • Increasing demand from electronics and electrical industry for fluorine polymer films for various applications such as insulation, printed wiring boards, semiconductor packaging and others.
  • Rising demand from medical device industry for use of fluoropolymer films in manufacturing catheters, tubing and other devices due to their properties such as non-toxicity, biocompatibility and others.
  • Growing automotive industry in Asia Pacific region is expected to boost the demand for fluoropolymer films used in manufacturing windshields, headlamps and taillights among others applications.
  • Rapid expansion of solar energy market is anticipated to create new opportunities for the growth of fluoropolymer film market over the forecast period owing to its excellent heat resistance property which is essential for solar panel applications .
