The Asia-Pacific Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) market, along with its end products, has witnessed linear growth in the past few years, which is estimated to increase in the near future. PTFE is one of the basic organic chemical raw materials widely used in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive chemicals. The quality, high efficiency, and environmental acceptability are some of the major features that create an upsurge in the demand for PTFE; the upcoming safety regulations and innovative techniques for its use will be the key influencing factors for the Asia-Pacific Polytetrafluoroethylene with an increased emphasis on its different types and applications.

The PTFE market is experiencing enormous growth, which is expected to continue in the near future, mainly driven by vastly growing countries such as China, Japan, India, and Korea, along with considerable amounts of investments that are made by various market players to serve the end-user applications industry in future. The Asia-Pacific region is the main PTFE market that accounted for a share of about 45% of the total global demand in 2014. The region is further expected to display high growth in future, mainly due to the high growth potential of the agriculture market in China and India.

Nearly 28% of the total PTFE demand was for the chemical processing applications in 2014, with the automotive and mechanical industry being the fastest growing end-use segments, primarily due to high penetration in all the regions. 

The drivers of the industry are the industrial boom in APAC, growing consumption in the automotive industry, and the increasing penetration with emerging applications.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE). It is highly non-reactive, partly because of the strength of carbon–fluorine bonds, which is why it is often used in containers and pipework for reactive and corrosive chemicals. The demand for PTFE is driven by its growing applications, such as Modified Polytetrafluoroethylene (mPTFE) and Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), which are being observed as significant markets for PTFE in the near future.

China is the biggest PTFE consumer globally, accounting for roughly 68% of the Asia-Pacific PTFE demand. The chemical processing industry accounted for the largest share in the Chinese market with regards to the consumption of PTFE. It is expected that rapid industrialization, urbanization, and the rising standards of living will elevate the per capita consumption of PTFE. With the growth in end-user industries, its consumption is expected to grow in the coming years.

The APAC PTFE market, in terms of value, is projected to reach $1051.7 million by 2019 from $700.9 million in 2014, at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2014 to 2019. In terms of volume, it is projected to reach 117.6 kilotons by 2019 from 85.1 kilotons, at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2014 to 2019. The growing manufacturing base in China and India is the major growth driver for Asia-Pacific. Contributing to these is the fact that China is the largest producer of PTFE, due to the presence of several capacities. Growing chemical processing, mechanical & automotive industries, competitive manufacturing costs, and high economic growth rate are expected to restrain the market growth in the coming years.

Based on application, the PTFE market has been segmented into industrial goods, coatings, filled PTFE, and others. The industrial goods segment held the largest market share of 53% in 2014. This segment would continue to dominate the market, though the industrial goods segment is projected to grow at a faster CAGR from 2014 to 2019. Industrial goods include the mechanical components of different shapes and sizes used for different applications in various end industries. Industrial goods are consumed widely in end industries such as the automotive industry, semiconductor manufacturing industry, chemical processing industry, electronics industry, mechanical industry, and construction industry.

Based on type, the PTFE market is segmented into fine powder, granular, aqueous dispersion, and micronized powder. The granular segment accounted for a share of 38% of the total Asia-Pacific PTFE market in 2014. Application-wise, granular PTFE can be referred to as the universal form, since it is mainly used in industrial applications and all end-use industries. The major application of granular PTFE powder is in the manufacture of semi-finished and finished products such as rods, sheets, bushes, gaskets, sealing, plates, balls, piston rings, valve seats, expansion joints, diaphragms, piping components, o-rings, v-rings, connectors, sockets, and others.

Key players in the Asia-Pacific PTFE market include Dongyue Group Ltd (China), Asahi Glass Fluorochemical Ltd (Japan), Gujrat Fluorochemical Ltd. (India), Shanghai 3F New Material Co. Ltd. (China), Chenguang Chemical Research Institute (China), and Hindustan Fluorocarbons Ltd. (India), among others.
