The global fluoropolymer market in the healthcare industry is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 7.19% during the forecast period because of the increase in the application of fluoropolymer in healthcare applications like pharmaceutical packaging, medical devices, drug delivery, and biological membranes.The pharmaceutical packaging application made up 38.23% of the global market share in 2015 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.27% during 2016-2020. The drug delivery application has the highest expected growth rate with a CAGR of

7.85%.Of the various types of fluoropolymers used in the healthcare industry,polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) registered the most demand, accounting for 54.5% of the global market in 2015. The share of this segment will grow at a CAGR of 6.77% during the forecast period. Other fluoropolymer products used in the healthcare industry will grow at a rate of 7.68%.Asia-Pacific (APAC) had both the leading market share, 34.6% in 2015, and the highest growth rate with a forecast CAGR of 7.64% during 2016-2020. The main reason for the region's dominance is the high availability of fluoropolymer raw materials here and the growing industrial and healthcare sectors in key countries like China, India, Japan, and South Korea.

Flexible displays are next-generation thin electronic display screens that are lightweight, foldable, and bendable. These displays can be rolled up without losing their display capabilities, i.e., they can be manipulated without breaking. Thus,flexible displays are more durable than their counterparts. Flexible displays are manufactured using plastics or other flexible substrates.In 2016, many of the industry participants were working toward the development of flexible displays for smartphones, tablet computers, and advanced consumer

electronic devices. Embedding the flexible displays into these devices makes them rugged and almost unbreakable.

The use of flex-fuel engines is confined mainly to Brazil and the US, where there is a high penetration of flex-fuel vehicles. In 2014, Brazil had a penetration of 94% of flexfuel vehicles, while the US had 0.8%. Flex fuels are available at pump stations with variants such as E10, E15, and E85.Flex-fuel vehicles are segmented in terms of engine capacity such as compact-, midsize,and full-size. In Brazil, there is a high penetration of compact-size engines in vehicles with approximately 70% market share, while in the US, there is a higher market share for full-size vehicles. However, apart from Brazil and the US, there is a very low penetration of flex-fuel vehicles in other parts of the world. China has flexfuels vehicles running on methanol (M85), which are very less in number, while European countries such as Sweden and Finland have a marginal market share when it comes to flex-fuel engines.
