Fluoropolymers are polymers with a large number of strong carbon-fluorine linkages. Fluoropolymers are very durable protective coatings in a variety of applications, including architectural coating preparations, notably those required for the exteriors, due to unique properties such as mechanical, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation. Fluoropolymers are widely used in industrial processes due to their oil and chemical resistance.

Fluoropolymers are widely used in industrial processes due to their oil and chemical resistance. Fluoropolymer Applications in cookware, semiconductors, cables, and wires are also projected to drive demand for fluoropolymers over the forecast period (2016–2024).
However, due to their properties, fluoropolymers are almost impervious to natural deterioration, thus the industry is likely to face few possible constraints, such as environmental concerns over their use. Furthermore, many fluoropolymers degrade into compounds that are carcinogenic.
This report will provide a glimpse at the future opportunities for key companies active in the Asian region's fluoropolymers market
Germany dominates the fluoropolymers market in Europe, owing to its rapid economic development and substantial demand from a variety of sectors, notably cars. The United Kingdom was Europe's second-largest market for fluoropolymers.
