Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) Market Dynamics and Trends
Increasing demand for ETFC cables from the aerospace industry, rising demand from various end-use industries, and high-impact resistance are the major driving factors for the growth of the market worldwide. ETFs are used for high-performance applications related to heat, low temperature, chemical internet, and electrical insulation. Because ETFE is a semi-transparent material, it can also be used as a viable replacement for glass or traditional plastic. ETFE is an attractive replacement for glass because it maintains 1% of the weight of glass, yet transmits 25% more light and is less expensive to install.ETFE is highly suitable for use in architectural structures. The superior transmission of UV and longwave radiation also leads to it being used extensively in outdoor constructions. Several well-known buildings have used ETFE in their construction, including Eden Project in the UK, Olympic Swimming Stadium in Beijing, and Allianz Stadium in Munich.
Stringent EPA regulations and increasing environmental concerns are the key restraints hampering the growth of the market.
Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) Market Segmentation
Based on the end-user, the market is divided into automotive, building and construction, electrical & electronics, films, and medical. The global ETFE market size by end-user was worth USD YY million in 2018 and is estimated to reach USD YY million by 2026, at a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period. Building & Construction is expected to hold the major market share in the forecast period owing t its extraordinary tear resistance, long life, and transparency to ultra-violet light. ETFE foil is fast becoming one of the most exciting materials in today’s design industry and has set the construction world alight with the potential it offers. ETFE materials play a key role in stadium projects across the U.S. These included the Bank of California Stadium for the Los Angeles Football Club, MLS, and the U.S. Bank Stadium for the Minnesota Vikings. U.S. Bank Stadium makes use of a 240,000-square-foot transparent ETFE roof—the largest of its kind in the country.
Apart from building and construction, it is also used in various end-use industries. For instance, Electrical sleeving, wire, and cable insulation and jacketing, appliance wires, motor lead wires, compact wire and coatings, battery components, coil forms, and other electrical components like sockets, connectors, switches, and insulators are the different applications used majorly in the electrical and electronic industry worldwide.
Based on application, the market is divided into coatings, tubes, wires & cables, films & sheets, and others. Others are again classified into foams and membranes. The global ETFE market size by application was worth USD YY million in 2018 and is estimated to reach USD YY million by 2026, at a CAGR of YY% during the forecast period.
Based on the technology, the market is classified into injection, extrusion, and others. Others are further divided into rotational molding, blow molding, and electrostatic spraying.
