On the basis of geographical analysis, the global nafion market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Middle East & Africa region. The market in the Asia Pacific is estimated to acquire the largest share and witness highest growth over the forecast period on the back of the largescale production of electrical vehicles in Asia, and growing number of ongoing government initiatives to boost the energy sector in the region. For instance, in China more than 1.2 million electric vehicles were sold in 2020, which depicted about 41 percent of total electric vehicles sold around the world. Apart from this, high consumption of fluoropolymers in the region is also anticipated to drive market growth to the APAC in the coming years. Moreover, the market in North America is also expected to gather a notable share by the end of 2030, which can be ascribed to the presence of major market players and rise in geographical expansion by chemical companies in the region.
The global nafion market is further classified on the basis of region as follows:
The chemical industry is a major component of the economy. According to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2020, for the U.S., the value added by chemical products as a percentage of GDP was around 1.9%. Additionally, according to the World Bank, Chemical industry in the U.S. accounted for 16.43% to manufacturing value-added in 2018. With the growing demand from end-users, the market for chemical products is expected to grow in future. According to UNEP (United Nations Environment Program), the sales of chemicals are projected to almost double from 2017 to 2030. In the current scenario, Asia Pacific is the largest chemical producing and consuming region. China has the world’s largest chemical industry, that accounted for annual sales of approximately more than USD 1.5 trillion, or about more than one-third of global sales, in recent years. Additionally, a vast consumer base and favorable government policies have boosted investment in China’s chemical industry. Easy availability of low-cost raw material & labor as well as government subsidies and relaxed environmental norms have served as a production base for key vendors globally. On the other hand, according to the FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry), the chemical industry in India was valued at 163 billion in 2019 and it contributed 3.4% to the global chemical industry. It ranks 6th in global chemical production. This statistic shows the lucrative opportunity for the investment in businesses in Asia Pacific countries in the upcoming years.
