Global fluorosurfactants market to reach $ 667 million by 2021

By type, the anionic segment of the fluorosurfactants market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Anionic fluorosurfactants exhibit excellent wettability and permeability, besides providing better levelling. Anionic fluorosurfactants are widely preferred for paints & coatings. The growing demand in the paints & coatings application segment is expected to increase the demand for anionic fluorosurfactants globally. The nonionic segment is estimated to be the second-largest type segment of the fluorosurfactants market.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the largest market for fluorosurfactants during 2016 to 2021. In 2015, North America was estimated to be the largest market for fluorosurfactants, in terms of volume. However, Asia-Pacific is projected to outgrow North America and Europe to become the largest market for fluorosurfactants during the forecast period. The shift of the fluorosurfactants market towards emerging economies owing to stringent regulations on emissions in developing economies is driving the Asia-Pacific fluorosurfactants market.
