The hydrofluoric acid market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.41 billion in 2023 to $1.5 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to robust economic growth in emerging markets, a rising demand for chemical products, and an increased usage of aluminum.
The hydrofluoric acid market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.87 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to government support and an increasing utilization of industrial and home cleaners. Key trends expected in this period encompass product launches, the introduction of new pump options, innovative developments, and the implementation of new purifying processes.
The hydrofluoric (HF) acid market is poised for growth, propelled by the increasing demand from chemical industries. Hydrofluoric acid plays a crucial role in the production of fluorine-containing polymers and various organ fluorine chemicals, including polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon), fluorocarbons, and refrigerants such as freon. This demand is reflected in the trade statistics, as reported by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics in July 2023, indicating a 13.4% growth in the trade value of chemical manufacturing products exported from the US in 2022 compared to the previous year. Additionally, the recovery of the US chemical sector in 2021, with a 1.4% production growth, and the anticipated 4.3% growth rate in chemical output in 2022 further underscore the increasing demand for hydrofluoric acid from chemical industries.
The hydrofluoric acid market is also expected to experience growth due to the widespread use of industrial and home cleaners. Hydrofluoric acid is a key ingredient in various over-the-counter products, including toilet bowl cleaners, concrete cleaners, and metal polishes. The projections from Jobber Academy highlight the growing trends in the residential cleaning sector, with an anticipated 80% of families employing house cleaning services by 2024, driving a 20% annual growth. Additionally, the commercial cleaning sector is expected to generate over $468 billion in revenue by 2027, representing a significant increase from the $308.7 billion valuation in 2020. This surge in the use of industrial and home cleansers is anticipated to contribute to the growth of the hydrofluoric acid market.
The hydrofluoric acid market is witnessing a prominent trend towards product innovation, with major companies in the sector actively dedicated to developing advanced technological solutions to bolster their market standing. An illustrative example is the initiative taken by HMD Kontro, a UK-based sealless pump engineering and manufacturing company, in November 2021. They introduced a pump specifically tailored for use in hydrofluoric acid (HF) alkylation processes, incorporating features designed to address operator-specific requirements. Notably, the HMD Kontro HF Pump boasts secondary containment rated at 40 bar, thereby eliminating the risk of environmental leakage. This design not only reduces operational risks but also cuts associated costs in line with stringent environment, health, and safety (EH&S) goals. The pump undergoes continuous monitoring to ensure reliable sealless pump performance, incorporating features such as leak detection tools and safeguards against dry pump operation.
A significant trend gaining momentum in the hydrofluoric acid market is the introduction of new pump options by companies in the sector. Focused on strengthening their market positions, these companies, exemplified by HMD Kontro, are actively developing and launching innovative pump alternatives. In November 2021, HMD Kontro introduced a comprehensive fluid containment solution specifically designed for hydrofluoric acid process units. This new pump option, crafted in collaboration with UOP (Honeywell), a leading HF alkylation technology licensor and HF Unit Operator, is a seal-less pump with a casing made of C22/C276. HF alkylation involves the use of a hydrofluoric acid catalyst to combine isobutene with olefins, typically a mixture of propylene and butylene, resulting in the production of alkylate - a high-octane additive responsible for providing unleaded gasoline with anti-knocking properties.
In March 2022, Anupam Rasayan, an India-based specialty chemicals manufacturer, successfully acquired Tanfac Industries Ltd. (TIL) for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition positions Anupam Rasayan to significantly enhance the value of its portfolio and expand its capabilities in fluorination chemicals. Tanfac Industries Ltd., a specialized fluoride chemicals company based in India, focuses on the manufacturing of hydrofluoric acid, contributing to Anupam Rasayan's growth in the hydrofluoric acid market.
