The global Fluoroelastomer (FKM) market has touched the number of around 57 thousand tonnes in 2024 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.38% during the forecast period until 2035.
FKM is a fluoro-carbon-based elastomer material composed of vinylidene as the monomer. It is a kind of synthetic rubber with properties to be functional at high temperatures. This polymer is resistant to chemical attack by fuel, oxidation, oil, and acids. The operational temperature range is -20 degrees Celsius to up to 200 degree Celsius. FKM can withstand strong bases, oils, aromatic hydrocarbons, and steam. Even in adverse circumstances, FKM offers long-term reliability. Some industrial applications of FKM include O-ring seals, valve liners, fuel hoses, shaft seals, gaskets, manifold gaskets, and shaft seals. FKM is far better than regular rubber in terms of functionality and resistance. The rate of development of fluoroelastomers is expanding globally due to recent developments. The need for fluoroelastomers has expanded due to their numerous applications in the industrial application (sealing), oil and gas, automotive and chemical processing industries. The market size is estimated to reach roughly 92 thousand tonnes in 2035.
On the global level, the top producers are from China, with approximately 40% of the production of FKM from the top five FKM-producing companies in the year 2024. Thus, almost half of the FKM is produced by China, and it is anticipated that China will lead the FKM production in the forecasted period.
Based on the end-user industry, the global FKM market is segmented into different industrial sectors that include Automotive, Chemicals & Petrochemicals, Industrial, Aerospace, and others. However, automotive is the dominating sector as the consumer of FKM and is anticipated to remain the leading consumer in 2035. In the automotive industry, FKM is employed to manufacture electrical connectors, diaphragms, shaft seals, check valve balls, clips for jet engines, lathe-cut gaskets, and more. The demand for FKM in the Aerospace sector is expected to soar in the forecast period. The components made with FKM are premium in quality and remains stable during extreme conditions such as low and high temperatures. In the Aerospace sector, FKM is utilized to create O-ring seals, valve stem seals, fuel injector O-rings, fuel hoses, valve liners, sheet stock gaskets, and many more components. Fluoroelastomers are utilized in the chemical processing sector to prevent corrosion.
Major players in the production of Global FKM are Syensqo (Solvay Specialty Polymers), Shandong Huaxia, Shenzhou New Material Co., Ltd., Inner Mongolia 3F Wanhao Fluorochemical Co., Ltd, Changshu, 3F Zhonghao New Chemical Materials Co.,Ltd., Gujarat Fluorochemicals Limited (GFLC), Zhejiang Juhua Company Ltd., The Chemours Company , Dowhon Chemical Group.
