Market Driver:
Increasing Demand for Fuel-Efficient Vehicles to Drive Market Growth
The dwindling fossil fuel reserves and fluctuating crude oil prices have heightened the demand for fuel-efficient vehicles among consumers, positively impacting the fluoroelastomers industry. Growing awareness about climate change and carbon emissions has also increased the demand for low-emission vehicles. Automotive manufacturers are heavily investing in research and development to innovate their designs and use lightweight materials to enhance vehicle efficiency. Moreover, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are reducing the size of components such as engines and powertrains and incorporating air circulatory systems to improve performance. The compatibility of fluoroelastomers with various chemicals and their resistance to extreme temperatures are expected to boost their demand in the automotive industry. Additionally, the inability of conventional elastomers to withstand high temperatures will further drive the demand for fluoroelastomers in the near future.
Impact of COVID-19 on Manufacturing Activities
The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the automotive and aerospace industries, leading to a halt in manufacturing activities, disrupted supply chains, and factory shutdowns. Consequently, the automotive industry faced significant revenue generation challenges. The sudden closure of production facilities disrupted the sector, while aircraft manufacturers reduced production rates due to global lockdowns. The delay in aircraft deliveries and decreased production rates severely impacted the growth of the global fluoroelastomers market during the pandemic.
