The Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3.00 Bn in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.56% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
PTFE, commonly known as Teflon, is a synthetic fluoropolymer thermoplastic material used widely in non-stick coatings for pots and pans due to its low surface energy and resistance to extreme temperature. It possesses high resistance to chemicals, heat, and low coefficient of friction which makes it suitable for applications in chemical and electronics industries.
Market key trends:
Rising demand from chemical processing industry is expected to be a key trend driving the growth of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Market over the forecast period. PTFE displays exceptional non-stick and low friction properties making it preferred material for pipes, tubes, gaskets and other sealings utilized in several chemical processes. It is resistant to more than 250 chemicals covering a broad range of pH levels and temperatures. PTFE tapes are used in plumbing applications due to their impermeability to water as well as resistance to most chemicals. Additionally, growth of electronics industry is also expected to boost the demand for PTFE owing to its usage as insulators in wiring applications. PTFE insulated wires are commonly used in electronics due to their high dielectric strength, thermal stability and flame retardance.
