Polyvinylidene Fluoride Market |
The Polyvinylidene
Fluoride Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 1338.27 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.0% over the forecast period
2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market
Insights.
Market Overview:
Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a highly non-reactive thermoplastic
fluoropolymer. It is known for its chemical inertness, thermal stability,
radiation resistance, and weatherability. PVDF finds applications as linings
and coatings for reactors, digesters, tanks, valves, and pipes. It is also used
as a membrane in battery separators and water desalination.
Market Dynamics:
The growing usage of PVDF in the healthcare industry is expected to drive
the market growth over the forecast period. PVDF is used in medical devices
such as blood bags, intravenous solution bags, piping for diagnostic ultrasound
probes, and biomaterial coatings. Its non-reactive and thermally stable
properties make it suitable for such applications. Additionally, PVDF is
increasingly being used in lithium-ion batteries, especially in lithium-ion
battery separators. Its lightweight and high porosity make the membrane strong
yet porous. This allows only lithium-ion to pass through while blocking metal
dendrites, thus increasing the battery life. The rising demand for lithium-ion
batteries from electric vehicles and energy storage systems is further expected
to boost the demand for PVDF over the forecast period.
SWOT Analysis
Strength: Polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) is highly resistive to corrosion and
chemicals and possesses good mechanical properties. It has high melting point
and heat resistance. It shows excellent flexibility and durability.
Weakness: PVDF has high production cost compared to conventional plastics. It
requires special technology and equipment for processing PVDF.
Opportunity: Rising demand for PVDF from oil & gas, chemical processing,
and electrical & electronics industries due to its excellent chemical and
heat resistance properties. Growing use of PVDF in lithium-ion batteries and
photovoltaic films offer significant opportunities.
Threats: Fluctuations in raw material prices can increase the production cost
of PVDF. Stringent environmental regulations regarding plastic production and
disposal act as a threat.
Key Takeaways
The Global
Polyvinylidene Fluoride Market is expected to witness high growth,
