Abstract
Developing countries to drive fluorochemical gains
Global fluorochemical demand is projected to advance over three percent annually to 2.9 million metric tons in 2011, benefitting from the continued expansion of the global economy. Rising income levels and advancing manufacturing sectors are directing most of these gains to industrializing countries, whose fluorochemical markets are also benefitting from a less restrictive regulatory environment. More aggressive regulations are restraining fluorochemical consumption in developed countries, particularly in combination with slower manufacturing growth and higher market penetration of fluorochemical-using consumer goods.
Fluorocarbons growing amidst turbulence
International agreements such as the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols, in conjunction with national government regulations, are generating much flux in the fluorocarbon market. Although the ongoing phase-out for ozone depleting CFCs is nearly complete in most markets, the consumption of less damaging HCFCs continues to expand. Mirroring the historical trend in CFCs, HCFC demand has migrated from developed to developing countries, where rising income levels are supporting strong increases in consumer markets. HFC demand continues to expand strongly worldwide, although heightened concerns over climate change and competition from nonfluorinated alternatives will dampen gains in Western Europe.
Study coverage
Historical data plus forecasts for 2011 and 2016 are presented in volume terms by product and market for 6 regions and 20 countries. The study profiles 14 global industry participants and assesses their market shares. In addition, overviews are provided for 42 other firms involved in the fluorochemical industry.
