Polyvinylidene Fluoride Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast 2018 - 2026

Building & construction is a major segment of the global polyvinylidene fluoride market. PVDF-based coatings are known for their excellent UV, chemical, and abrasion resistance. They emit ultra-low VOCs and possess high color stability and durability. Several building contractors and applicators utilize high performance materials with low VOCs and low odor PVDF to improve productivity of architectural coating. Rise in production of lithium-ion batteries and rapid expansion of automotive and electronic industries across Asia Pacific are anticipated to propel sales of PVDF during the forecast period. PVDF is used in automobiles for molded parts, extruded profiles, or as protective coatings. PVDF films are used for automotive accessories, as they provide decoration and high resistance to corrosion and weathering.

Based on region, the global polyvinylidene fluoride market has been divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2018, followed by North America. Rise in demand for PVDF in water purification, medical purification, gas separation, food & beverages, filtration, and fuel cell membranes is estimated to boost the market in the region in the near future. Increase in demand for PVDF coatings in the building & construction industry and rise in demand for binders for lithium-ion batteries are projected to propel the demand for PVDF significantly in region during the forecast period. North America is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to PVDF manufactures during the forecast period. Rising oil & gas exploration and production activities and increasing PV installation in the U.S. are boosting the demand for PVDF in the region. Germany and France are expected to account for a considerable share of the PVDF market in Europe during the forecast period due to the presence of a large number of PVDF manufacturers in these countries. Capacity expansion and new product launches are key strategies adopted by PVDF manufacturers. For instance, In April 2018, Solvay Group, a Belgium-based leading manufacturer of PVDF, introduced next-generation Solef PVDF, which is employed to improve protection and performance of rigid and flexible pipes used in the recovery of oil and gas. Brazil and Mexico in Latin America are key countries for the polyvinylidene fluoride market. Increase in urbanization and rising PV installation are likely to be key factors driving the demand for PVDF in Latin America during the forecast period. Demand for PVDF is rising in the oil & gas industry in Middle East & Africa. This, in turn, is fuelling the demand for high-performance engineering thermoplastics such as PVDF possessing high resistance to chemicals in polyvinylidene fluoride.
