Boron Trifluoride Market Estimated to Reach US$ 343 Mn by 2026 According to a new report published by Transparency Market Research (TMR) titled “Boron Trifluoride Market – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2018–2026”, the global boron trifluoride market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of more than 5.0% during forecast period. Expansion in the global boron trifluoride market is primarily driven by the rise in usage of BF3 as catalyst and growth in end-use industries. The boron trifluoride market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of more than 5.0% during the forecast period owing to the constant demand for boron trifluoride in various end-use industries across the region, especially in China, Japan, and the ASEAN sub-region. Growth in end-user industries to drive market BF3 is one of the strongest Lewis acids available. It is employed as catalyst and reagent in a wide range of end-user industries including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, semiconductors & electronics, agrochemicals, polymers, and plastics. Led by its versatile nature, BF3 forms an integral part of several manufacturing processes in the industries mentioned above. Chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors & electronics are some of the major consumers of BF3. These industries are poised to expand at a significant pace in the near future. BF3 is widely used as catalyst for several reactions such as polymerization, alkylation, and isomerization in the chemicals industry. The chemical industry has been expanding at a steady pace. Developing countries in Asia Pacific are expected to be highly lucrative markets for chemicals in the next few years. The semiconductors industry employs BF3 as a p-type doping agent in the manufacture of various semiconductor devices. BF3 is also used in the production of displays of electronic products. Asia Pacific is likely to offer significant growth potential to the semiconductors & electronics industry in the near future. BF3 is employed in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals in the pharmaceuticals industry. The global pharmaceuticals industry has also been witnessing steady growth since the last few years. In terms of revenue, the global pharmaceuticals industry was valued at more than US$ 990 Bn in 2013 and reached around US$ 1,105 Bn in 2016.
