One of the key factors driving the fluorocarbon coating market growth is the growing demand for fluorocarbon coating in vehicles. Fluorocarbon coatings are extensively used in the automotive industry to reduce corrosion and noise, reduce dry lubrication, abrasion, low friction, weathering, and sealing, and reduce aesthetics in various automotive components to enhance vehicle performance and durability. In addition, these coatings are used in door/window seals, solenoid and suspension components, piston skirts, connecting rods, assembly aids, connectors, and others.
Moreover, fluorocarbon coatings in the form of PTFE, PFA, and FEP are used in the automotive industry for coating engine components to protect them from exposure to external elements that cause corrosion such as road debris, fuel, oil, and extreme weather conditions. Furthermore, fluorocarbon coatings are widely used in automotive components as they help enhance the lifespan of vehicles; provide controlled torque tension; offer good resistance to fuels, fluids, and lubricants; and resist chipping and flaking. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the fluorocarbon coating market growth is the rise in water-based fluorocarbon coatings. The increasing use of water-based formulations as a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional solvent-based coatings is a prominent development in the global fluorocarbon coating market. In addition, this tendency is mostly driven by severe regulatory standards and industry-wide sustainability aspirations.
Moreover, water-based fluorocarbon coatings provide several advantages, including lower VOC emissions, a lower environmental impact, and increased worker safety during application. In addition, water-based fluorocarbon coatings, for example, are gaining traction in applications such as architectural coatings and automotive finishes, coinciding with the industry's desire to minimize its environmental imprint. Hence, such factors are driving the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
Shortfalls of coating-based fluoropolymers are one of the key challenges hindering the fluorocarbon coating market growth. Even though, as demand for coating-based fluoropolymers increases each passing year, its supply has begun declining. In addition, PTFE, one of the major types of fluorocarbon coating, has been facing supply-related issues in recent years amid major changes in the US antidumping policy.
Moreover, PTFE is generally supplied by countries such as China and India. In addition, as these two countries had been dumping PTFE in the US, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) triggered the antidumping duty, which affected PFTE supplies. Hence, such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
The solvent-borne segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Solvent-borne segments are liquid protective chemicals applied on surfaces of materials to prevent corrosion. In addition, these chemicals are less susceptible to conditions such as high temperatures and humidity during the curing phase. Furthermore, solvent-borne coatings typically contain high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC), which are harmful to the environment.

The solvent-borne segment was the largest segment and was valued at USD 313.81 million in 2018. Moreover, as per the Clean Air Act (CAA), various regulations govern the use of solvent-borne coatings in applications such as aerospace, automotive, architectural and industrial, consumer products, metal parts, and dry cleaners. For example, under section 112(d) of the CAA, solvent-borne coatings are regulated under the hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emission standards. Furthermore, strong demand for solvent-borne coatings in the building and construction, automotive, aerospace, and other end-user industries will fuel the consumption of fluorocarbon coating, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the global fluorocarbon coating market during the forecast period.
Based on the type, the market has been segmented into PTFE, PVDF, FEP, FEVE and others The PTFE segment will account for the largest share of this segment. PTFE segment is a versatile ivory-white and opaque plastic fluoropolymer. In addition, industries such as pharmaceuticals, automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and telecom are the prime users of PTFE coating. Moreover, PTFE exhibits properties such as outstanding chemical resistance, a low coefficient of friction, good dielectric characteristics, outstanding corrosion protection, and high thermal stability and flame resistance. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
APAC is estimated to contribute 43% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period.
