The Europe Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) market, along with its end products, has witnessed a linear growth in the past few years which is estimated to increase in the coming years. 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 being environmentally acceptable are some of the major features that cause  a rise in the demand for PTFE; and the upcoming safety regulations & innovative techniques for its use are expected to be the key influencing factors for the European PTFE market with increased emphasis on its different types and their applications.

The PTFE market is experiencing high growth which is expected to continue in the near future, mainly driven by the growth in countries like Germany, Italy, and France and considerable amount of investments made by various market players to serve the end-user industry in the future. The European region is the main PTFE market that accounted for about 28% market share of the total global demand in 2014. The region is further expected to register a high growth in the future, mainly due to the high growth potential of the agriculture markets in Italy and Germany.

Almost 21% of the total PTFE demand was for the chemical processing applications in 2014, with the food & household and mechanical industries also being the fastest-growing end-use segments, primarily due to their high penetration in all the regions.

The drivers of the industry are: growing penetration in emerging medical industry and growing consumption in automotive industry.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE).  It is highly non-reactive, partly because of the strength of carbon–fluorine bonds and so, 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 seen as significant markets for PTFE in the coming years.

Italy is the biggest PTFE consumer, accounting for roughly 25% of the Europe PTFE demand. The demand for PTFE in the Italy is mainly driven by the chemical processing industry, food & household industry, and medical industry.  Chemical processing industry was the largest PTFE consuming end industry in the Italy PTFE market in the year 2010.

The Europe Polytetrafluoroethylene market, in terms of value, is projected to reach $625 million by 2019 from $475 million in 2014, at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2014 to 2019. In terms of volume, it is projected to reach 53.9 kilotons by 2019 from 44.5 kilotons, at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2014 to 2019. The European market has been a leader with respect to innovation and development in the field of PTFE along with developing its application areas. The industrial consumers of Italy PTFE market include automotive, semiconductor manufacturing, chemical processing, textile laminates, food and household, electronic, mechanical, construction, and medical. Out of these, the chemical processing industry is the biggest consumer of Italy PTFE market, followed by the mechanical industry.

On the basis of applications, the PTFE market has been segmented into Industrial Goods, Coatings, Filled PTFE, among others. The industrial goods segment accounted for the largest market share of 46% in 2014. This segment is expected to continue to dominate the market, although it is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period, 2014 to 2019. Industrial goods include the mechanical components of different shapes and sizes used for different applications in various end-use industries. They are consumed widely in end industries like automotive, semiconductor manufacturing, chemical processing, electronics, mechanical, and construction.

On the basis of types, the PTFE market is segmented into fine powder, granular, aqueous dispersion, and micronized powder. The granular segment accounted for 34% share of the total Europe Polytetrafluoroethylene market in 2014. Application-wise, granular PTFE can be called the universal form as it is used mostly in industrial applications and in all end-use industries. The major application of granular PTFE powder is in the manufacturing 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, and sockets. .

The key players in the Europe Polytetrafluoroethylene market include Daikin Industries Inc. (China), E.I. DuPont De Nemours & Co. (U.S.), Halopolymer OJSC (Russia), Asahi Glass Fluorochemical Ltd. (Japan), among others.
