The global perfluoroalkoxy alkane (PFA) market size reached US$ 450.6 Million in 2023. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach US$ 654.3 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.23% during 2023-2032. The thriving oil and gas industry, rising demand for PFA coatings, and the growing application of PFA pressure tubing to protect flue gas heat exchangers represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Perfluoroalkoxy alkane (PFA) is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether with properties like polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). It is transparent or clear in appearance that can be applied to any color-coded surface. It can be molded into various shapes through conventional molding methods, such as extrusion, compression, blow, transfer, and injection molding. It is used as corrosion inhibitor coatings on metallic substrates due to its high anti-stick and chemical resistance properties. PFA is also employed as an inert material for semiconductor wafer carriers, medical devices, and food processing and packaging equipment.
It finds applications in chemical processing plants to prevent equipment failures and reduce high operating costs and emissions. It assists in producing extruded wire insulation, protective film, tubing, sheet linings, and pump housings. Besides this, it provides high resistance to chemicals, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and temperature, enhanced dielectric strength, and low dissipation factor and dielectric constant. As a result, PFA is widely utilized in the oil and gas, semiconductor, paint and coating, and pharmaceutical industry across the globe.
Moreover, there is an increase in the employment of PFA in the oil and gas industry as it can coat various substrates, such as carbon, steel, steel alloys, brass, and aluminum. This, along with the thriving oil and gas industry around the world, is strengthening the growth of the market. Apart from this, the growing application of PFA pressure tubing to protect flue gas heat exchangers from damage caused by extreme temperatures is offering a favorable market outlook. Additionally, the escalating demand for PFA as the insulation of communication cables or components for electronic devices wherein low dissipations are needed is bolstering the growth of the market.
Some of the companies covered include 3M Company, AGC Inc., Daikin Industries Ltd., Hubei Everflon Polymer Co. Ltd., PT. Nippon Pillar Manufacturing Indonesia, RTP Company Inc. (Miller Waste Mills Inc.), Solvay, Zeus Company Inc., Zibo Bainaisi Chemical Co. Ltd., etc. Kindly note that this only represents a partial list of companies, and the complete list has been provided in the report.
