Trifluoroacetic Acid Market Share

ID: MRFR//6592-CR | 140 Pages | Author: Chitranshi Jaiswal| October 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused big problems in the supply chains, trade between countries, and how things are made around the world. Because of lockdowns in different places, factories couldn't work properly, and some had to close. Companies making things had to slow down or stop their production to prevent the virus from spreading. This has created a big disruption in making and trading trifluoroacetic acid, affecting the supply of it globally.

The United Nations says the world economy will likely shrink by around 3%, which is worse than what was expected before the pandemic. If governments don't give enough support to people and businesses, it might be even more severe than the global financial crisis in 2009. The International Monetary Fund says this uncertainty about the economy is higher now than in past outbreaks like SARS or Ebola because more people are getting sick, and it's unclear when things will get better. If the pandemic goes on for a long time, world trade is expected to drop a lot, causing big problems for households and businesses.

Trifluoroacetic acid is crucial for making medicines and chemicals for farming. Since these industries are essential, some big companies have kept working while taking precautions like social distancing and remote work. In different parts of the world, governments are slowly lifting restrictions, making it easier for trifluoroacetic acid to be supplied. Some companies are also working on new products to fight COVID-19. For example, Solvay, a big chemical company, introduced Actizone, which is a long-lasting antimicrobial technology. They also developed a new polymer and yarn called Amni Virus-Bac OFF in Brazil. Because things are changing so quickly and in a big way, businesses have to adjust to keep things running smoothly, make sure they can still produce things, and have their products available. So, even though there was a decrease in demand for trifluoroacetic acid because of the pandemic, it is expected to go up again when lockdowns and restrictions are lifted.

Trifluoroacetic Acid Market Trends




  • Growing use in medical industry is driving the market growth




The rising number of obese people drives Market CAGR for trifluoroacetic acid. It is anticipated that over the projected period, the worldwide trifluoroacetic acid market will expand at a healthy rate. Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) demand is expected to increase ly due to growing chemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical demand. Trifluoroacetic acid is crucial in medicinal, agrochemical, and performance products. Numerous additional fluorinated substances, including trifluoroacetic anhydride, trifluoroacetic acid, and 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, can be made from TFA. Due to its practical properties—volatility, solubility in organic solvents, and acidic strength—trifluoroacetic acid is recognized as a high-performance solvent, catalyst, and reagent.


Additionally, TFA is more easily accessible in anhydrous form than many other acids and is less oxidizing than sulfuric acid. High level of pharmaceutical industry demand In the chemical synthesis used in the pharmaceutical business, trifluoroacetic acid is a useful reagent. It is frequently used as a raw material for important trifluoroacetylating compounds, including ethyl trifluoroacetate, trifluoromethylation processes, and peptide synthesis. Some of the most widely distributed pharmaceuticals include mefloquine (Lariam; antimalarial), fluoxetine (Prozac; antidepressant), celecoxib (Celebrex; COX-2 inhibitor), tipranavir (Aptivus; HIV protease inhibitor), and efavirenz. TFA is most frequently employed in effective peptide sequencing and peptide synthesis. Rising R&D expenditures in the pharmaceutical sector are also anticipated to fuel the expansion of the market. Expansion of the agricultural sector The expansion of the agriculture sector is the key factor driving the demand for trifluoracetic acid on a scale. The pesticides business uses the majority of the TFA that is produced. TFA is a frequently found ingredient in agricultural chemicals such as fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides. A CF3 group produced through TFA is present in about 8.5% of the pesticide entries in the pesticide’s manual. Beflubutamid, flazasulfuron, flonicamid, fluazinam, acrinatrin, picoxystrobin, bifenthrin,diflufenican, sulfoxaflor, pyroxsulam, and prosulfuron are a few examples of common pesticides. Therefore, the expanding agriculture sector is expected to fuel the market expansion during the review period. The uplifting perspective of the drug business in South Asia: Over the following five years, the Southeast Asian drug market is supposed to increase yearly by over 11%, with deals arriving at USD 40 billion in 2020. Accordingly, it has become one of the world's quickest-extending drug markets. The locale rewards drug organizations that can synergize great assembling rehearses (GMP) norms, cutthroat estimating, and a product procedure. Drug organizations in South Asia will benefit from rising medical services spending, a maturing populace, the more noteworthy occurrence of the way of life-related sicknesses, and a rising Gross domestic product per capita. Thailand has the quickest maturing populace on the planet. As indicated by the World Wellbeing Association (WHO), 13% of the populace (10.3 million individuals) is over 60. By 2025, the older will represent 25% of the populace. Thus, driving the Trifluoroacetic Acid market revenue.


In 2024: Chemours introduced a new high-purity trifluoroacetic acid designed for pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis applications.


Solvay - 2023: Solvay launched an upgraded trifluoroacetic acid product with enhanced stability and performance for industrial processes.
