FLUORINATING REAGENTS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global fluorinating reagents market size was USD 0.06 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 0.13 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Fluorinating is a treatment to create a combination of fluorine compounds. Moreover, fluorinating reagents is the type of electron deficient fluorine atom, which is used as a reaction active species. The reagents are segmented into two types, electrophilic and nucleophilic reagents. The reagents are originally produced from hydrogen fluoride (HF).

Electrophilic reagents are created through a procedure where fluorine atoms and compound are provided to an electron-donating reactant, listed as alkene, aromatic ring or carbanion. It evolves towards the development for the initial reagent to transfer into a carbon-fluorine covalent bond, used as a reactive species. Furthermore, nucleophilic reagent is a mixture of fluorine anions, used as a chemical reaction active species instead of utilizing fluorine atoms and compounds.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Halt on Transportation of Reagents Leads to Impediment of Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the fluorinating reagents market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic had affected the world economy with a rigorous lockdown and restrictions of day to day operations in every industry. The fluorinating reagents market felt the repercussions, owing to the supply of reagents was not at its peak point as the government laid implications upon transportation. Lockdown caused manufacturing to temporarily cease, which had a major effect on the production rate in the market. Fluorine compounds are transported to medical, agricultural industries and manufacturing sectors and the reagents are shipped from one country to another. During that time period the moving of the reagents were not possible, eventually leading towards losses and decreased growth of the fluorinating reagents market share. The market growth is expected to rise in the foreseeable future as a result of growing demand for agricultural and pharmaceutical industrial purposes.

LATEST TRENDS
