Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), also known as Dupont’s Teflon, is a high molecular weight compound wholly consisting of carbon and fluorine. It is a fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and is produced through the process of free-radical polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene. Some of the properties of PTFE include high electronegativity, high molecular weight, inflammability, low coefficient of friction, non-stickiness, hydrophobicity, thermoplasticity, low chemical reactivity, and good dielectric properties. Moreover, it is highly resistant to chemicals and is insoluble in all known solvents.

Market Dynamics

In 2017, the global polytetrafluoroethylene market was valued at US$ 2.91 billion and is expected to witness a CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period (2019-2027). Increasing use of PTFE in various end use applications such as textile, chemical processing, textile, medical, cookware, electrical, and electronics is one of the major factors that is driving growth of the polytetrafluoroethylene market. Moreover, increasing use of PTFE in photovoltaic modules, fuel cells, and batteries is expected to drive demand for PTFE in the near future.

However, factors such as high cost of PTFE due to increase in raw material prices for fillers, pigments, and fluoropolymer resins and increasing demand for premium-grade products globally are expected to hinder growth of the global polytetrafluoroethylene market over the forecast period.
