Fluorochemicals Market To Reach $7.48 Billion By 2020: Grand View Research, Inc.

The global fluorochemicals market size is expected to reach USD 31.21 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research. Growing popularity of fluoropolymers in automotive and electronics sectors on account of exhibiting superior properties such as good electrical insulation and tensile strength is expected to have a positive impact on the industry.

Growing demand for aluminum in a host of end-use industries including aviation, automotive, electronics and healthcare is expected to drive demand. Furthermore, expansion of these industries is expected to accelerate growth. Presence of a stringent regulatory framework which includes critical protocols including the Montreal Protocol and Kyoto Protocol has led to the restricted production and use of numerous chemicals including HCFC and CFC.
