The production of PCTFE involves complex manufacturing processes and requires specialized equipment. PCTFE is not as widely known as some other polymers, which can limit its adoption in various industries. PCTFE competes with other fluoropolymers and high-performance plastics that offer similar properties. Thus, the risks associated with Polychlorotrifluoroethylene may drive down the acceptance rate, further hampering the business growth.
COVID-19 Impact
Many industries experienced production slowdowns or shutdowns due to lockdowns, restrictions, and reduced workforce availability. This could have affected the manufacturing of PCTFE products. Thus, the reduced number of COVID-19 cases and implementation of subsequent strategies by government and non-government organizations is anticipated to drive the Polychlorotrifluoroethylene industry expansion in the upcoming years.
