Dublin, June 29, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Fluoropolymers Market - Products, Technologies and Applications" report to their offering.
The global Fluoropolymers market report analyzes the fluoropolymer product types comprising Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), Fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA/MFA), Polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), Ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE) and Polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE).
Global fluoropolymers demand is attributed mainly to the robust growth in the developing regions and also continued economic recovery in the developed nations that drives industrial investment and growth in construction activities. PTFE is the largest fluoropolymer in terms of volume and value. However, melt-processable fluoropolymers such as PVDF, FEP, ETFE and ECTFE are forecast to record fastest growth during the analysis period, owing to the significant demand from emerging applications such as photovoltaic modules and architectural membranes among others.
Global volume consumption of Fluoropolymers, standing at 223.2 thousand metric tons in 2012, is forecast to be 281.6 thousand metric tons in 2016 and is projected to reach 402 thousand metric tons by 2022 at a CAGR of 6.1% between 2016 and 2022. Asia-Pacific is the largest volume market for Fluoropolymers globally, forecast to be 126.6 thousand metric tons (45% share) in 2016 and is also likely to post the fastest 2016-2022 CAGR of 7.4% and reach a projected 194.4 thousand metric tons by 2022.
The report also analyzes the key end-use sectors of fluoropolymers including Chemical Processing, Electrical & Electronics, Mechanical/Industrial, Automotive & Transportation, Building & Construction and Others. The global markets for the above mentioned product types and end-use sectors are analyzed in terms of volume in metric tons and value in USD for the aforementioned analysis period. This report also provides the comprehensive market analysis of each fluoropolymer product segment by end-use sector.
The report provides comprehensive data on fluoropolymers production capacities which includes production capacity by manufacturer, by fluoropolymer type, by country and by manufacturer's production plant.
The research also provides the listing of the companies engaged in manufacturing and processing of Fluoropolymers. The global list of companies covers the address, contact numbers and the website addresses of 211 companies including subsidiaries.
