Perfluoropolyether offers properties such as low toxicity, non-flammability, radiation stability, low volatility, and more, which has accelerated its demand in varied industries, especially in North America. In 2020, heart diseases accounted for around 64.3% of the top leading causes of death in the U.S. Subsequently, the soaring focus on strengthening the medical sector is expected to augment product uptake over the next 10 years.
 

Moreover, prominent government efforts to enhance the defense sector are poised to positively impact the perfluoropolyether industry outlook. The expanding commercial vehicle market around the world is also projected to foster product penetration.
 

Availability of advanced alternatives may restrain industry progression

The lack of R&D initiatives is hampering advancements in the field, restraining market growth. The inadequate research infrastructure to enhance the use of perfluoropolyether has enabled the development of new alternatives with comparatively reasonable prices. This has affected the product adoption rate, especially in emerging or low-income countries. Nevertheless, the rise in investments by manufacturers in R&D programs is set to provide significant growth opportunities for the market.
