Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Perfluoropolyethers market size was valued at US$ 1033 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1541 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 6.0% during review period.

Perfluoropolyethers (PFPE) is a kind of synthetic polymer which is liquid at room temperature. It is mainly used as lubricant for space mechanical components. The main chain of perfluoropolyether is composed of - CF2 - O - CF2 - such ether chain, which is different from the perfluoroethylene chain of - cf2cf2cf2 - because of its flexibility, low glass transition temperature and wide range of common liquid temperature (from freezing point to boiling point). On the other hand, due to the strong electron absorption effect of fluorine element, the polymer does not show ether property, so it has good heat resistance, chemical stability, oxidation stability and complete incombustibility.

From the perspective of product types, it mainly includes perfluoropolyether oil and perfluoropolyether grease. Perfluoropolyether oil occupies an important position, accounting for 66% in 2023.

From the perspective of product market application, it is mainly aerospace, automotive industry, electronics industry, chemical industry and other industries. Among them, aerospace and electrical and electronic are the most important applications. 34% of the electronics industry in 2023. Aerospace accounts for 22%.

The R&D technology of perfluoropolyether products is difficult and the technical requirements are relatively strict. It is difficult for general companies to master the core technology. Even if they master the relevant technology, they face great difficulties in improving product performance. In addition, the new product development cycle of perfluoropolyether products is long, and a lot of manpower and material resources are required, which requires strong financial support. Therefore, there are not many companies that can master the production technology of high-performance perfluoropolyether products, and the market concentration is relatively high. Chemours, Solvay, DuPont, Aiken Chemical and Klüber Lubrication are the main perfluoropolyether manufacturers. According to the perfluoropolyether revenue in 2023, the top three manufacturers accounted for 82% of the market share.

Market Trends

1. With the transformation of perfluoropolyether applications from military to civilian use, although the overall market capacity is not large, due to its significant performance advantages in specific fields, the market prospects of perfluoropolyether are becoming more and more eye-catching both globally and in China.

2. The R&D technology of perfluoropolyether products is difficult and the technical requirements are relatively strict. It is difficult for general enterprises to master the core technology. Even if they master the relevant technology, they still face great difficulties in improving product performance. In addition, the new product development cycle of perfluoropolyether products is long, and a lot of manpower and material resources are required, which requires strong financial support. Therefore, there are not many companies that can master the production technology of high-performance perfluoropolyether products, and the market concentration is relatively high.

3. Perfluoropolyether has no hazard problems when operated at room temperature and general conditions. With the development of society, the progress of science and technology, and the promotion of the application fields of such products, especially the issues of human resources, energy and environmental protection are increasingly valued by the international community. Perfluoropolyether, which is widely used and has the characteristics of "being able to meet the application requirements of high temperature and high load in the machinery industry and the automobile industry, as well as high stability, corrosion resistance and wear resistance", will gradually become the mainstream product in the lubricant industry.
