The growth can be attributed to the developments in the automotive industry, replacement of old non-fluoroelastomers material in automobiles and increasing adoption of fluoroelastomers by Automobile manufacturers with the implementation of stringent automotive emission standards across the globe.
With the global automotive industry being virtually flat in 2018, the industry is expected to bounce back in the short term forecast as per the industry experts. Regional slowdown in the automotive industries is also expected to come back to life with developments towards regional stability and decreasing tariff wars between global economies.
For instance, Germany experienced disruption in car production due to the introduction of new WLTP emission standards. With the developments in new compatible engines & transmission systems, the vehicle production is expected to get normal in Germany.
Developments in New Grades of Fluoroelastomers to Create Lucrative Opportunities.
Fact.MR opines that the development in the new grade of fluoroelastomers are creating attractive opportunities of growth in the fluoroelastomers market. Companies are coming up with new cross-linked combinations of fluoroelastomers to increase the areas of application.
For example, AGC Chemicals, one of the leading manufacturers of fluoroelastomers, has developed a new series ALFAS 150E, for insulating applications in high voltage charging cables for electric vehicles. As per company claims, the product has started gaining popularity and is being adopted by some of the electric vehicle manufacturers. The product is expected to increase the market share of the company over the mid-term forecast due to this valuable development.
Other manufacturers are also expected to follow such strategies to develop new grades and types of fluoroelastomers to widen the application areas of fluoroelastomers. Some of the manufacturers have also developed specific grades of fluoroelastomers as per region and specific applications in end–use industries.
For instance, Daikin Chemicals offers seals made from its fluoroelastomers products for application as insulation oil cap for bullet train lines. This application can further be incorporated in other regions that are coming up with Bullet train projects, thus increasing the demand for fluoroelastomers in the upcoming years.
