Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes are known to be resistant to high temperatures, strong acids, strong bases, organic solvents, and oxidizing agents. PTFE membrane and hydrophilic PTFE membrane filters, both are chemically compatible and resistant to most chemical solvents. PTFE membranes are chemically stable and inert, suitable for chemically corrosive organic solvents, aqueous solutions and gases, and resistant to most acids, alkalis and solutions.
Global Demand is Expected to Drive the Global PTFE Membrane Market
In the automotive industry, PTFE diaphragm is a fluoropolymer composed of fluorine and used as a breather diaphragm in automotive system applications that can provide reliable protection from dirt, dust, water, and vehicle fluids. For example, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), the automotive industry is projected to grow in 2021, with around 79.1 million vehicles produced worldwide, an increase of 1.3% compared to 2020. According to the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA), in the United States, automobile production increased from 62,39,401 units in 2020 to 68,57,182 units in 2021. Furthermore, in Austria, car production increased from 86,300 in 2020 to 92,000 in 2021. It is estimated that the demand for PTFE diaphragms in the automotive industry will increase in the next few years as the production volume of automobiles increases. This is expected to drive the growth of the PTFE membrane industry.
Due to its high resistance to fire, extreme temperatures, and other adverse environmental conditions, PTFE membranes are increasingly used in uniform manufacturing used in military, firefighting, and other similar areas. Increased demand from the sports and leisure industry has increased the demand for his PTFE membranes used in the manufacture of clothing and footwear. Increasing industrialization has increased the need for proper ventilation, increasing opportunities for the PTFE membrane market. With the help of PTFE membranes, pollutant emissions are reduced and maintenance is low. This helps in complying with the regulations implemented by regulatory bodies and promotes market growth. A factor limiting the growth of the PTFE membrane market is the availability of other cheaper alternatives in the market.
