Fluoropolymer Tubing Market Analysis

Application (Film, Tube, Sheet, Pipe, Membrane, Sealant, Roofing, Additives)

The global fluoropolymer tubing market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into film, tube, sheet, pipe, membrane, sealant, roofing, additives, and others. Out of these applications, the pipe segment is estimated to gain the largest market share over the projected time frame. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing demand for pipes in residential sector, hospitals, and malls. For handling reactive and caustic chemicals, PTFE is frequently utilized in hoses, containers, and pipelines. Further, PTFE tubes or pipes are a transparent pipe often known as polytetrafluoroethylene or Teflon.  It is non-porous, corrosion-resistant, and perfect for applications involving chemicals and other liquids. For instance, PTFE elbows, tees, reducers, crossings, and spacers are the best options for processing or transferring highly corrosive fluids under challenging circumstances. According to estimates, the demand for water and wastewater pipes in the US is projected to rise by over 2% annually in 2022.

Material (PTFE, PVDF, FEP, PFA, ETFE)

The global fluoropolymer tubing market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by material into PTFE, PVDF, FEP, PFA, and ETFE. Amongst these segments, the FEP segment is expected to garner a significant share. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the growing applications of FEP. For instance, critical fluid transport tubing applications are seeing an increase in demand for FEP coatings, and the trend towards FEP lab equipment is picking up steam. Owing to their ability to store and transport the corrosive chemicals used in industrial manufacturing processes, FEP coatings are one of the crucial coating materials in the chemical industry. Both as an insulating material for outdoor electrical wires and as a jacketing material for optical fiber cables, fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) is employed. In addition to these, it is predicted that heavy use of FEP tubes in the aerospace, automotive, energy, and telecom sectors would fuel market segment growth in the future.
