Surging Utilization of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in the Anti-Friction Coatings

The primary properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) include superior non-stick characteristics, excellent temperature resistance, and non-wetting. The above-listed features ensure low friction and abrasion resistance. Thus, the adoption of polytetrafluoroethylene is increasing in the anti-friction coatings. The demand for polytetrafluoroethylene-based anti-friction coatings is growing in Germany for end-use industries such as packaging, aerospace, and others.

For instance, according to the Industrievereinigung Kunststoffverpackungen e.V., a German packaging industry association, in 2022, the market value of the German plastic packaging industry was USD 19,161.3 million (EURO 18,196.0 million) with an annual growth rate of 14.9%. Therefore, the revenue advancement in the German packaging industry is fueling the demand for polytetrafluoroethylene-based anti-friction coatings to maintain superior non-wetting properties, which is a vital factor driving the market growth.

Increasing Production Activities Related to Electric Vehicles Augments Market Growth

Materials such as solid lubricants, polytetrafluoroethylene, molybdenum disulfide, and others are vital production of anti-friction coatings to ensure superior benefits for the ant-friction coatings, including dust resistance, rust prevention, etc. As a result, the anti-friction coating is an ideal solution for the electric vehicle industry in Germany. Developing new electric vehicle infrastructures and increasing innovations in battery-based transport vehicle models are the key trends propelling the production growth of electric vehicles in Germany.

For instance, according to the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis), in 2021, the production of electric vehicles in Germany was 328,000 units, a year-on-year growth rate of 85.8%. Hence, the increase in the production of electric vehicles in Germany is fueling the demand for anti-friction coatings to protect vehicles from corrosion, which, in turn, is propelling the market size growth.

Rising Deployment in Medical Devices Applications is Fostering the Market Growth

In medical devices, utilizing anti-friction coatings increases the patient's comfort as the insertion forces are reduced. The German government-led aid for medical device manufacturers and increasing investment in research & development activities are the prime determinants amplifying the growth of the medical device industry in Germany.

For instance, according to MedTech Europe, a European medical device association, in 2020, the German medical device sector was valued at USD 40.9 billion, and in 2021, it was USD 45.7 billion, an increase of 11.8%. Thus bolstering the medical device sector in Germany, boosting the development of anti-friction coatings to ensure superior durability. It in turn, is spurring the Germany anti-friction coatings market growth.

Future Market Scenario

The increasing target for the carbon-neutral ecosystem in Germany is accelerating the future development of new electric vehicles (EVs) manufacturing facilities to accelerate the production activities of EVs in the country. For instance, in March 2022, Volkswagen announced its plans for the country's USD 2.1 billion electric vehicle manufacturing facility development. Production activities will commence in 2026. Therefore, the new electric vehicle infrastructure development in the future years will drive the demand for anti-fiction coatings to prevent component failures. It, in turn, will create a prominent potential for market growth.

The pro-government measures, such as investments and incentives, are expected to promote the development of innovations in the field of healthcare, spurring new product launches for the healthcare sector in Germany. For instance, the Federal Ministry of Health has invested USD 210.6 million annually in the innovation fund in the healthcare sector until 2024. Thus, the increasing investments in research & development activities in the healthcare industry will create a lucrative opportunity for market growth in Germany.

The increasing technological innovations in the aviation sector in Germany will foster the production activities related to unmanned aerial vehicles in the country. For instance, according to Germany Trade & Invest, a German government nodal trade promotion agency, in 2022, the unmanned aerial vehicle market in Germany was USD 604.5 million, and by 2030, it will reach USD 3.3 billion, with an increase of 438% in comparison over 2022. Henceforth, it is evident from the data that the German unmanned aerial vehicle industry will flourish in the coming years, thereby boosting the revenue growth of the Germany anti-friction coatings market.
