PTFE Membrane Market Segment Analysis – by Type

The Hydrophobic membranes segment held the largest PTFE Membrane Market share in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% during 2022-2027. The hydrophobic PTFE membrane type is the most extensively utilized PTFE membrane due to its various physical characteristics such as chemical & abrasion resistance, high porosity, particle retention, high filtration efficiency, convenience in handling and high flow rates. The hydrophobic PTFE membranes are widely used in filtration applications due to their exhibit properties and are naturally hydrophobic. These are extensively used in aqueous solution and gas filtration applications in various end-use industries such as food & beverage, medical & pharmaceutical and other industries. Thus, the exhibited characteristics of hydrophobic PTFE membranes make them a preferred choice over the other membrane types, which is driving its segmental growth.

PTFE Membrane Market Segment Analysis – by End-use Industry

The medical and healthcare industry held the largest PTFE Membrane Market share in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% during 2022-2027. The rise in the aging population and advancements in medical devices will increase the usage of PTFE membranes, such as in vents on IV filters and spike vents, sensors from fluids and contamination, as a coating on catheters, for protecting equipment and other applications. The medical and healthcare sector is growing, for instance, according to International Trade Administration, in Mexico, the total local production of medical devices and equipment increased from US$16.80 billion in 2020 to US$15.12 billion in 2021. Additionally, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration, in 2022, the government announced a US$5 million increase towards the improvement in the safety and security of medical devices. Thus, with the growing demand for medical applications such as devices and other equipment in the medical and healthcare industry, the PTFE membranes market would further rise over the forecast period.

PTFE Membrane Market Segment Analysis – by Geography

Asia-Pacific region dominated the PTFE Membrane Market share by 43% in the year 2021, due to the increasing requirement for PTFE membranes in developing countries such as China, Japan, India and South Korea. China, India and Taiwan are expected to continue their dominance in the PTFE membranes market during the forecast period, in applications such as vents on IV filters, as a coating on catheters, for protecting equipment and other applications. This is due to the growth of the medical & healthcare industries in the countries. For instance, according to International Trade Administration, in China, the medical device market is expected to expand by a 2020-2025 CAGR of 6.2%, which should see it rise to US$38.4 billion by 2025. Moreover, according to Invest India, the medical device sector is growing steadily at a CAGR of 15% over the last 3 years and the medical devices industry in India is poised for significant growth with the market size expected to reach US$50 billion by 2025.

PTFE Membrane Market Challenge

High Manufacturing Price of PTFE Membrane:

The major raw material utilized for the production of PTFE Membrane is PTFE. PTFE costs recently have been rising continuously owing to the shutdown of various Chinese and European manufacturing units. China is the world’s largest PTFE manufacturer and the production of low-cost Chinese products in the global market is followed by rising prices on PTFE producers in other countries. Import duties are being imposed by various countries, including India, on Chinese PTFE products. Other factors affecting the PTFE cost are the prices of its raw materials such as fluorspar, the changing regulatory environment and the demand and supply gap. The fluctuating cost of PTFE is hindering the market growth by increasing the manufacturing price of PTFE membranes. Thus, the high manufacturing price of PTFE membranes will create hurdles for the market's growth.
