Based on a half-yearly analysis, Future Market Insights has provided a comprehensive overview of the global PFPE market for the preceding two years in this report. The research provides information on the market growth outlook accounting for all the demographic changes that had placed this year. The projected CAGR from its prior report compares to the present and revised CAGRs.
The demand for PFPE has reportedly been steadily rising across a variety of end-use industries, which has contributed to the market's explosive rise, claims the report. Sales of PFPE have increased as a result of the recent large increase in demand for efficient lubricants.
The global PFPE market is expected to develop with a growth rate of 4.4 percent in 2022, according to a prior report by Future Market Insights. However, FMI re-evaluated this growth during the half-yearly market research and discovered a decline of 10 BPS points. When compared to the growth rate for 2021, the market has increased by 20 BPS points.
The primary driver of the demand surge in the PFPE market in 2022 is the steady increase in demand for higher-grade lubricants. Sales of PFPE are anticipated to increase over the projection period as a result of the quick expansion in the electronics and automotive industries.
Despite such high growth prospects of PFPE, some challenges are awaiting the success path of PFPE. The declining usage of PFPE with the growing popularity of its alternative lubricants in production is expected to stifle the growth rate during the upcoming period.
Consumption of the special category of lubricants increased at 4.0% CAGR, between the historical period of 2014 and 2021, owing to its considerable applications in several end-use sectors.
