With the demand for hydrofluoric acid expected to increase at 4.1% CAGR between 2023 and 2033, the future looks bright for producers of the chemical. The overall market is anticipated to maintain its upward trend, reaching an anticipated value of USD 1,892.4 million in the year 2023. Further, it is predicted that hydrofluoric acid sales, in terms of value, might reach a staggering USD 2,748.6 million by the end of this forecast period.
Thorough research from FMI indicates that the Hydrofluoric Acid market had an estimated value of USD 1,640.4 million in the historical year 2018. Furthermore, during the period between 2018 and 2022, it expanded noticeably, having a CAGR of 2.9%. The global market value increased to USD 1,839.1 million by 2022, underscoring the expanding use of hydrofluoric acid across several sectors.
The use of hydrofluoric acid in the manufacture of cookware and cable wires is a significant element influencing the rise in demand for the chemical. Moreover, there is an increasing demand for reliable and effective cookware as well as better communication infrastructure as the world’s population continues to expand. Such items’ manufacturing processes depend hugely on hydrofluoric acid, which, in turn, is driving up its demand, particularly in industrializing economies.
Hydrofluoric acid is used in the making of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and hydrofluorolefins (HFOs), which are also in high demand on the market these days. These substances have a smaller influence on the ozone layer than conventional refrigerants, which makes them popular refrigerants and air conditioning system components. So the sales of hydrofluoric acid have increased as governments and businesses are increasingly prioritizing ecologically acceptable alternatives hugely.
