Global Hydrofluoroether (HFE) Market Insights and Forecast to 2027

Hydrofluoroether (HFE) is a general term for ethers containing heteroatoms such as oxygen atoms in molecules. Its ozone digestibility value (ODP) is zero, its global greenhouse potential (GWP) is low, and its atmospheric residence time is very short. It is considered as a new ideal substitute for CFCs. In addition to the excellent environmental properties, hydrofluoroether has the advantages of low toxicity, non corrosivity, non combustion, no smoke and dust, easy storage and transportation, and has incomparable advantages compared with other substitutes.
The top three Hydrofluoroether (HFE) manufacturers in the world are 3M, AGC and Tianhe Chemical, accounting for about 90% of the market share. 3M, as the earliest manufacturer of HFE, accounts for the largest proportion. However, the data in recent years show that the growth rate of Chinese manufacturers is far higher than that of other countries. At present, the main products of hydrofluoroether (HFE) are pure products, accounting for about 90% of the total production, and the price is relatively high, while HFE mixture only accounts for 10%.
In terms of product types, Hydrofluoroether (HFE) can be generally divided into Pure Product and HFE Blend. In 2019, Pure Product has the largest market share, about 90%.
