Global Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) Market Size, Share, Analysis,
Industry Research and Forecast to 2020: Hexa Research
The global polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) market is highly concentrated and is led by large
multinational corporations. Positive automotive industry outlook in emerging countries such as
China, Malaysia, Brazil and India is expected to be key driving forces of the market. Special
properties such as low co-efficient of friction, chemical inertness and thermal stability give an
upper-hand to overall cookware, textile and construction market. Growth in industrialization,
chemical industry and consumer goods and medical applications is expected to have a positive
impact on the overall PTFE market growth. Use of PTFE in batteries and fuel cells is expected
to be a key driving force for the market. Recycle property of them into many other products and
used in manufacturing tubing, rod and sheets is expected to act favorable to the market growth.

Fluctuations in raw material prices and stringent regulatory norms are expected to pose a major
challenge over the next few years. Global PTFE prices hit a record high level in the last few
years owing to restrictions from Chinese government on fluorspar export. This decision by the
Chinese government provoked countries including Mexico and South Africa who has huge
fluorspar deposits to retain their mines to cater the growing global demand for fluorspar these
reopening to some extent eased the supply. After this China and Russia restarted to export
fluorspar in Europe and India at a competitive price resulting in reduction of prices by around
15%. However, global prices are expected to decrease gradually owing to steady support of
fluorspar.
Product Insights
Granular was the dominant product segment and accounted for 33% of the global market in
2012 owing to the growing demand in construction. Granular PTFE is used as feedstock,
production of rods, sheets & billets and in general molding applications due to its high molecular
weight. Other important products include fine powder, micro powder and other PTFE products.
Chemical properties thermal and chemical resistance gives a upper-hand to the overall market
growth. Micro power PTFE is applied in elastomers, thermoplastics, coatings, grease and
lubricants due its low molecular weight and it accounted for a little over 20% of the total market
share in 2012.
Application Insights
Automotive and transportation emerged as the dominant application market and accounted for
more than 25% of the global market demand in 2012. Keeping in mind environmental
awareness regarding emission control and to improve efficiency by reducing overall weight of
the automotive manufacturers are incorporating PTFE sheets extensively. This is expected to
have a positive influence on the overall market growth. Growth in industrial & chemical,
electronics, cookware, construction, textile and medical applications is also expected to be key
driving forces for global PTFE market. Acceptance in innovative applications including fuel cells

and photovoltaic cells is expected to drive the demand for PTFE globally. Shift of trend to
renewable sources of energy, precisely solar energy is expected to act favorable to the overall
market growth.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market owing to the ease of availability of raw materials
especially in China. Europe and North America regional market is expected to show a moderate
growth in the next six years. Recent economic condition had an adverse effect on the growth
rate of PTFE in these regions. Global PTFE market is driven by product differentiation
innovations which are based on latest improving technologies. PTFE manufacturers are
investing on reprocessing fluoropolymers to retain sustainability.
