The global Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) market size is estimated to be USD 334 million in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 451 million by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.2% between 2021 and 2026. The North American region is the largest consumer of ETFE across the globe. The growth of the North America ETFE market can be attributed to the increasing use of ethylene tetrafluoroethylene in various new applications such as films & sheets, wire & cables, tubes, and coatings. Increasing usage of ETFE in solar panels, substitute for glass and other conventional materials, and growing demand in end-use industries are driving the demand for ETFE during the forecast period. However, ETFE is prone to puncture, transmit more sound than glass, and higher cost than other conventional material, which is hampering the market growth.

ETFE is a fluorine-based plastic that offers high corrosion resistance, strength, and energy radiation resistance properties. It is lightweight, transparent, recyclable, and strong. ETFE can be extruded into large thin sheets, referred to as foils or films, used in single or multi-layer cladding applications. It is used as an eco-friendly construction material, with lesser environmental impact throughout a building’s lifecycle than traditional fenestration solutions. ETFE is increasingly being used in various end-use industries such as architecture & construction, aerospace, and semiconductors due to its versatility, low weight, superior tensile strength, and excellent weathering properties.
