The Fluorosurfactants Market is estimated at USD 643.7 million in 2023. Further, the market is expected to grow from USD 676.8 million in 2024 to USD 942.5 million in 2031 at a CAGR of 4.8%.
A fluorosurfactant/fluorinated surfactant is a surfactant that contains a perfluoroalkyl group and has a low critical surface tension. These fluorine atoms can provide unique properties, such as excellent water and oil repellency, making fluorosurfactants valuable in applications requiring highly water-resistant or oil-resistant materials. Fluorosurfactants' properties are reducing surface tension, wetting, emulsifying, spreading, foaming control, leveling, antifogging, anticorrosion, anti-defect, dirt pick-up resistant, anti-blocking, and low-foam formation.
Fluorinated surfactants are critical components of firefighting foams, but they are persistent chemicals with potential environmental impacts. Examples of fluorosurfactants of the addition type include coating and ink, floor wax, aqueous fire extinguishing chemical, photographic emulsion, cleaning agent, resist, grease, water glass, lens anti-fogger, plating liquid, PTFE dispersion, electrolytic solution, PVC film, and PO film.
Growing Demand for Short-Chain Fluorosurfactants:
The short-chain fluorosurfactants that have been the predominant fluorochemicals used in fluorotelomer-based AFFF for the last 25 years are low in toxicity and not considered bioaccumulative based on current regulatory criteria. Short-chain fluorosurfactants are potentially eco-friendly alternatives to the regularly used long-chain, leading to the growth of this market.
Foam manufacturers have transitioned or are in the process of transitioning to the use of only short-chain fluorosurfactants in their fluorinated foam products. Proposed regulations on long-chain (≥ C8) perfluorinated chemicals (PFAS) in Canada, the European Union, and the U.S. allow for the use of short-chain fluorochemicals as alternatives to long-chains in foam and other applications. These regulations do not restrict the use of existing stocks of fluorotelomer-based foams.
Increasing Demand for Fluorosurfactants in Paint & Coatings Industry:
In the paint and coatings market, fluorosurfactants are used in various applications. They are used in many different types of coatings, including interior and exterior architectural coatings, wood coatings, flooring and industrial coatings for metal and plastics. They are used as additives to help wet different surfaces, prevent surface defects such as craters, fisheyes and edge pull and to improve the surface appearance, flow and leveling, and depth of image of the finished coating. In recent years, wood coatings manufacturers have devoted their research and development resources to improving waterborne coatings due to their huge environmental advantage. While fluorosurfactants provide one likely source of PFAS (Per- and Polyfluorinated Substances) in paints, PFAS are used widely and may be introduced at many potential points along the paint supply chain.
Implementation of Strict Environmental Regulations:
Fluorosurfactants are popular with a variety of performance features like low surface tension and chemical resistance, paired with their cost-in-use value. Due to environmental and health concerns, regulatory authorities in various countries are closely monitoring and imposing restrictions on the use of certain fluorosurfactants.
This can lead to limited market access and affect product development and innovation. National and state-wide regulatory bodies have been showing timelines for which fluorosurfactants must be eliminated from commerce. This is expanding beyond the US too. Europe is evaluating a proposal that would impose broad restrictions under REACH, the EU chemicals regulation, regarding the uses and types of compounds they are scrutinizing. Fluorosurfactants are not easy to replace because they provide many performance features for coatings, like easy-to-clean, extreme surface tension reduction, and anti-foam.
