Fluoroelastomer Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Fluoroelastomer Market
The fluoroelastomer market size was valued at USD 1356.4 million in 2019, and the market is now projected to grow USD 1794.1 million in 2027 exhibiting a CAGR of 3.7% during the forecast period of 2020-2027.
The outbreak of COVID-19 affected the automotive and aerospace industries by bringing production lines to a complete stop and creating supply disruptions. The fluoroelastomer manufacturing was disrupted Due to lockdowns in China, a major producer hence impacted the supply globally. The automotive industry experienced revenue declines owing to lack of production, and the airplane manufacturing industry cut production because of COVID-19 quarantine measures. As such, OEMs that used fluoroelastomer as the raw materials equally suffered reduced production. COVID-19 interferences have declined in fluoroelastomer growth-sensitive industries.
This demand due to emergent environmental issues and uncertainty in the prices of fossil fuels, has forcing automobile industries to look for advanced lightweight structural materials and designs. These changes cause elements inside vehicles to be adversative to high temperature as well as damaging fluids and thus needs material such as fluoroelastomer. Fluoroelastomers demonstrate high chemical and heat proved immunity, rightfully used in automobile industry. Whereas conventional elastomers cannot respond to such conditions, the need for fluoroelastomer is created. This shift is believed to have the potential of greatly increasing the fluoroelastomer market particularly in the automotive industry.
From 2020 to 2027 the demand of fluoroelastomer is expected to increase because of their ability to withstand highly chemical and heat-resistant situations and environments. Thus, companies are optimizing the chemical constitution of their products to deliver better performance in such conditions. Industry players also developed food contact and pharmaceutical contact compliant fluoroelastomer that received regulatory sanction. In August 2019, the US FDA cleared AGC, Inc.’s AFLAS series for their use in food contact applications. The notifier number FCN2008-0043 for AFLAS Series 150P, 100S and 100H have been approved by the US FDA to be used in the food contact surface applications.
