Ankita Roy, Treesha Banerjee and Liza Dsouza from Global Market Estimates throw the spotlight on
the growing Fluoroelastomers Market

Fluoroelastomers Market Insights

The global fluoroelastomers market is anticipated to witness a lucrative growth over the forecast
period due to its high application in the automobile industry. Moreover, the increasing demand from
aerospace, pharmaceutical & food and beverage industries of the product is anticipated to foster the
demand over the forecast period.

A fluoroelastomer is a fluorocarbon-based synthetic rubber in which parts of hydrogen atoms in the

polymer chain are substituted by fluorine. Along with being chemical resistant, the product holds an
excellent combination of insulation and mechanical properties. Since they are highly weather
resistant they are also used in extreme temperature applications.

The high chemical resistance of this product including its resistance to aliphatic and aromatic
hydrocarbons are the best attributes that are expected to contribute to the growth of the global
fluoroelastomers market.

Fluoroelastomers Market: Type Insights

On the basis of type, the fluoroelastomers market can be segmented into Fluorocarbon Elastomers,
fluoroelastomer polymers, Fluorosilicone Elastomers, tetrafluoro ethylene/propylene rubbers &
Perfluoroelastomers compounds. The market for fluoroelastomer polymers is expected to grow
significantly due to its better base resistance, high heat resistance and improved low-temperature
performance.

The market for Perfluoroelastomers compounds is anticipated to stimulate market growth on

account of its high fluid resistance properties which makes its highly usable in in paints & coatings in
manufacturing and oil & gas industries.

Fluoroelastomers Market: Application Insights

By application, the fluoroelastomers market is segmented into O-Rings, Seals & Hoses, Gaskets and
Compound Moulding Parts amongst others. The O-rings segment account for the highest share
owing to its high usage in automotive, aerospace, chemical processing & oil and gas production as
static seals.

Fluoroelastomers Market: Industry Insights

Among the industry verticals, the automobile & the aerospace segment is expected to occupy the
highest share in the fluoroelastomers market on account of the increasing use of O-ring, shaft seals
and gaskets. Moreover, the chemical resistance of the product against various fuels is expected to
boost its usage in fuel system applications.

The pharmaceutical and food processing industries are also anticipated to contribute significantly to
the growth of the industry. This is mainly due to the anti-corrosive properties of the product coupled
with highly weather resistant property which makes it favourable for bearing high temperature.
