Fluoropolymers Market Driver

• The primary drivers of the fluoropolymers market expansion in the automotive industry are the rise in disposable income, R&D spending for the industry, increasing traffic congestion, and stringent government restrictions regarding the reduction of carbon emissions. For performance, safety, and emission control in the automotive industry, the polymer extends the component's life. Against corrosive fluids and fuels, heat, vibration, compression, and humidity, they offer durable protection. Car parts with polymer coatings have longer lifespans because they experience less corrosion and friction. They are crucial in automobile parts that endure wear and tear, like gears and ball bearings.

Fluoropolymers Market Restraint 

• Polyfluoroalkyl chemicals and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) present some environmental concern when emitted or disposed of at the industrial site. An insoluble PTFE may carry a small risk to your health or the environment. PFAS are released during the polymer's manufacturing, use, and processing processes, including oligomers and monomers.
• The diffuse release of PFAS to the environment after use and disposal of some PFAS-containing items may occur as a result of the different ways in which PFAS are used in consumer and commercial products. However, these could have a substantial negative influence on the ecosystem. The relative environmental relevance, method of distribution, amounts emitted, and area affected of various PFAS sources and products vary. For instance, the air dispersion from the manufacturing of polymers may be moderately impacted by the use of Class B firefighting foam.
