Increasing penetration of PCTFE as moisture barrier films in the pharmaceutical industry is expected to positively impact the market over the forecast period. Furthermore, PCTFE films are extensively used in manufacturing blister packaging, thus promoting its use in the pharmaceutical industry.

PCTFE exhibits low gas and vapor permeability, high melt processability, low melting temperature, and superior cold flow characteristics. These properties make it ideal for injection molding and extrusion processes, by means of which PCTFE can be molded into a wide range of desired shapes and structures. As a result, expansion of molding industry is likely to have a positive impact on the PCTFE market.

High raw material cost and relatively lower production volumes of PCTFE as compared to its counterparts increases overall product cost. This factor has limited the penetration of PCTFE in application industries despite its inherent advantages. Furthermore, it exhibits low thermal and chemical resistance as compared to low-cost alternatives such as PTFE, which is expected to hamper market growth.
