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.
