Fluorine Derivatives Market Analysis
The fluorine derivatives market is expected to register a CAGR of over 4% during the forecast period of 2022-2027.
During the outbreak of COVID-19, the search for effective and economical drugs that would reduce the risk of progression of the coronavirus disease became abundantly clear. Fluorinated oral drugs against COVID-19, including Paxlovid, the first oral tablet to treat COVID-19, form an important subgroup. Fluorine derivatives are widely used in the pharmaceutical market and can lead to improved selectivity indices, increased lipophilicity, greater metabolic stability, and improved anti-COVID-19 efficacy.
- Over the short term, the market is driven by large industries as they have a high demand for fluorine, which is light and more cost-effective than gas. Furthermore, increasing end-users such as uranium hexafluoride and increasing end-use of sulfur fluoride are expected to increase the global consumption of fluorine derivatives, leading to market growth.
- However, it is estimated that the demand for fluorine derivatives will decrease shortly due to the harmful hazardous effects during transportation if the gas is released. In addition, the complex manufacturing process discourages the entry of new entrants and is likely to slow down market growth and prevent market expansion.
- Nevertheless, research and development activities play a significant role in the growth of the fluorine derivatives market. Players are engaged in these activities to discover insights and formulations. These formulations help increase the players' revenue and possibly contribute to market growth.
- North America is expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period.
