Market Driver:

Surging Demand for Fuel-Efficient Vehicles to Incite Development

The depleting fossil fuel reserves and fluctuations in crude oil prices have led to high demand for fuel-efficient vehicles among consumers, which, in turn, will augur well for the fluoroelastomers industry. Similarly, increasing awareness about climate change and carbon emissions among consumers has further demand for low-emission vehicles. Automotive manufacturers are investing hefty funds in research and development to transform their existing designs and utilize lightweight materials to achieve the desired efficiency in cars. Moreover, OEMs reduce the size of components such as engines and powertrains and incorporate air circulatory systems to improve proficiency. The compatibility of fluoroelastomers with a wide variety of chemicals and resistance to extensive temperature ranges is projected to spur its demand in the automotive industry. Also, conventional elastomers' inability to sustain high temperatures will fuel the demand for fluoroelastomers in the near future.

Halt on Manufacturing Activities to Reduce Demand Amid COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the automotive and aerospace industries. The pandemic resulted in an abrupt halt in manufacturing activities, supply chains, and factory shutdowns. As a result, the automotive industry is struggling with the generation of revenue. The sudden shutdown of production facilities disrupted the automotive sector. Moreover, the aircraft manufacturers reduced their production rates due to the global lockdown. The delayed aircraft deliveries and diminished production have severely affected the global fluoroelastomers market growth during the global pandemic.
