Boron Trifluoride and Complexes Market Overview

The boron trifluoride and complexes market size is forecast to reach US$ 346 million by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 5.1% during 2022-2027. Boron trifluoride (BF3) is a colorless toxic gas with a pungent odor, packed and shipped in cylinders under high pressure. Compared to the highly pressured gas form, boron trifluoride’s uses in its complex form such BF3 diethyl etherate complex and BF3 acetonitrile complex is found to be advantageous as it can be released under preferred conditions. Boron trifluoride compound is also considered to be one of the robust Lewis acids, making it suitable for use in several chemical processing operations. Boron trifluoride is extensively used as a catalyst for organic synthesis reactions such as indoles synthesis, alkylation, isomerization, and many others. The chemical industry is expanding globally with higher production and processing and this is expected to drive the market’s growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to the January 2020 data by the International Energy Agency, biofuel production is anticipated to increase fourfold from around 2 mboe/d in current times to almost 8 mboe/d by 2040. Furthermore, boron trifluoride use in the production of pharmaceutical ingredients is gaining traction in the last few years. The growth in the pharmaceutical sector globally is projected to augment the market’s growth during the forecast period. For instance, according to the 2020 statistics by the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations, the production of medicines in the European region stood at USD 317,942.75 million in 2019 which was USD 300,434.09 in the previous year.

COVID-19 Impact

The market was negatively affected due to the impact of COVID-19. Disruption in the supply chain and temporary shutdown of factories hindered the business in the market. Market players adopted new strategies to withstand the unprecedented situations amid the pandemic. However, the severity of the pandemic made the companies face huge losses and disturbances in their business operations. For instance, as per the first quarter 2020 result report by Arkema S.A., the company’s overall business and sales was impacted due to COVID-19. The market experienced a decent growth rate towards the last quarter of 2020 with increased activities in multiple end-use industries. Going forward, the market is expected to witness robust demand owing to the expansion in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Strict regulation regarding the transportation of boron trifluoride may hamper the market’s growth during the forecast period.
