These are considered as less harmful fluorochemicals substitutes that are expected to surge the market demand for the fluorochemicals.
Regional Analysis.
The fluorochemicals by regions is classified as North America, South America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific. Asia Pacific region is expected to show remarkable growth, be the largest and fastest-growing market over the forecasted period due to the less regulatory pressure, fast economic growth, and increasing application of refrigerants in the HVAC system, infrastructure, and automotive. Further, the rise in the consumption of frozen and packaged food has been witnessed in the region which is leading to an increase in the demand for the commercial cooling system which is likely to boost the market growth of fluorochemicals. The abundance of aluminum reserves in the countries such as China and India and also the regulatory inclination to promote the FDI in the domestic metal sector is further expected to expand the application of fluorochemicals in the Asia Pacific region. Rapid industrialization in developing countries such as China, India, and South—East Asian countries are likely to augment the market demand for refrigerants during the forecasted period. The rising residential, commercial construction such as warehouses, malls, and departmental stalls in the infrastructure development has expanded the demand for an HVAC system which is boosting the demand for fluorochemicals. Thus, all the market trends witnessed in the region are expected to drive the demand for the fluorochemicals market in the Asia Pacific region during the forecasted period. Whereas, North America and Europe are the major markets for fluorochemicals.
COVID-19 Impact.
The outbreak of Covid-19 has affected every industry. The demand for essential medical equipment was increased during the pandemic which positively impacted the fluorochemicals. However, the lockdown affected the distribution channel. The manufactures of fluorochemicals are currently focusing on reducing the gap between demand and supply which aiding the medical device firms to ensure sustained production. Due to these factors, the market of fluorochemicals is projected to remain strong during the pandemic crisis.
Fluorochemicals are extensively used in the manufacturing process of fluoropolymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Perfluoro alkoxy alkanes, and Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE). Furthermore, these have high applications in the range in manufacturing of ventilator components, films, medical hoses among others.
