Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Market size worth over $1 billion by 2026

According to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc., the Polytetrafluoroethylene Market size is estimated to exceed USD 1 billion by 2026. Increasing product usage in electrical and electronics sector will drive industry growth rate over projected timeframe.
 

Advancement in manufacturing of polytetrafluoroethylene supported by heavy R&D investment is estimated to drive industry development over forecast timeframe. In 2016, AGC chemicals, a global manufacturer of fluoropolymers, announced to invest USD 1 million in expansion of its R&D technical center based in the U.S. This showcases positive outlook as it will further bring in new possibilities for the polytetrafluoroethylene market.
 

In 2019, Daikin Americas have invested around USD 195 million in expansion of their production capacity based in the U.S. This expansion plan had included PTFE & melt resin polymer manufacturing capability.
 

Regulatory framework of major government bodies along with rising concerns toward health risk associated with PTFE will be a key hindrance behind their growth during 2016 to 2026. This factor will be accountable behind its least growth potential in sectors like food & beverages, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, etc. Ease of availability of substitutes including ceramics, stainless steel, cast iron, etc. will further slowdown the polytetrafluoroethylene market growth rate over projected timeframe.
