Global Fluorochemicals Market Overview
Fluorochemicals are used in semiconductor manufacturing for plasma etching which involves discharging a high-speed plasma of gas that fabricates IC’s. Also, the panel displays which are employed in different devices like televisions, mobile phones, tablets, and other equipment which employ flat-panel displays use fluorochemicals. The growth of the semiconductor industry and electronics due to increasing technology integration, development in the technology industry, increasing affordability of electronic devices, and rising willingness for use further augment the demand for fluorochemicals.
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) also employ fluorochemicals which are used in refrigerators and air-conditioners. Fluorochemicals are also used to manufacture pesticides like herbicides to protect the crops from various soil-related diseases and pathogens. The rise of these industries is further expected to increase the demand for fluorochemicals. Also, fluorochemicals are used in dental applications to make fluorides used in maintaining dental hygiene in toothpaste, mouthwashes, etc. The increasing demand for personal care and hygiene products with other factors propel the growth of the Fluorochemicals Market.
