Various industries prefer PTFE, as it provides an economic solution with excellent chemical resistance. These compounds showcase improved acid resistance and exceptional thermal stability that facilitate excellent performance, even under severe chemical conditions. Fluoropolymers are in demand for their use in several industries, as they possess many desirable qualities. In industrial applications, their exceptional resistance to high temperatures, chemical reaction, corrosion, and stress cracking properties facilitate their use, mostly as films and coatings. Products made with PTFE resins have exceptional resistance to high temperatures, chemical reaction, corrosion, and stress-cracking. The mechanical toughness and electrical and low-friction properties make it the preferred plastic for a host of applications and different processing techniques.

The market studied is expected to grow significantly in the future, majorly driven by the expansion of polymers resin production. Polyolefins are widely used in for applications, such as injection molding, blow molding, etc., across various end-user industries, including electrical and electronics, automotive, construction, medical, and consumer. The market studied is significantly influenced by rising trends in the automotive industry, such as lower emissions, increasing demand for light vehicles, fuel efficiency, and other factors. In addition to this, the rising number of electrical vehicles around the world, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, has boosted the demand for polymer resins. The demand for packaged products has also increased in recent times, which is further propelling the demand for polyolefins. The increased use of plastics as a substitute for glass and metal products, development of new products, and increased sophistication in plastic processing methods are some of the major factors that have led to the expansion of polymer and resin production in these industries.

Ceramic Fiber is a small-dimension filament or thread, which is composed of a ceramic material, primarily alumina and silica. It is used in lightweight units for electrical, sound, and thermal insulation. Most ceramic Fiber contain equal proportion of alumina and silica. Some nonoxide specialty Fibers such as silicon nitride, silicon carbide, and boron nitride have been also produced. The physical and chemical properties of the ceramic Fiber vary with the composition. Most ceramic Fibers are white to cream in color and are available in several product form. The high temperature resistance ceramic boards and blankets are used in the development of ship for general heat containment and to reduce the risk of spread of fires. Ceramic Fiber products are used in metal industry, commercial & domestic appliances, interior of furnaces, space vehicles, etc. Based on end use industry of ceramic Fiber, the market is segmented into iron & steel, refining & petrochemical, power generation, aluminum, and others. In 2018, refining & petrochemical held a larger share of 33.6% of the Asia Pacific ceramic Fiber market. In petroleum industry, the ceramic Fiber is used in fired heaters, fluid catalytic cracking units, and boilers. Ceramic Fiber is used as insulation material in various end-use industries. The ceramic Fiber blankets are used as insulation for catalytic converters in the aircraft, spaceship, and automobile industry. Type segment is bifurcated into refractory ceramic Fiber, alkaline earth silicate, and others. The refractory ceramic Fiber dominates the type segment. The product form segment is categorized into blanket, module, board, paper, and others. The blanket has a significant share in the product form segment of ceramic Fiber.
