According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Sulfur Hexafluoride Market is accounted for $237.94 million in 2020 and is expected to reach $424.37 million by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. Increase in electricity consumption, rising demand for homes and infrastructure development are the major factors propelling the market growth. However, huge production & supply costs of raw materials and rise in environmental concerns & regulations to control greenhouse effects are hampering the market growth.

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF?) is a non-flammable, non-toxic, colorless, odorless, and un-reactive liquefied gas under normal atmospheric conditions. It is typically produced in itemized amounts through the direct fluorination of high-purity sulfur and transported in tube trailers and cylinders under its own vapour pressure across the world. It is an excellent dielectric material, and shows outstanding electric insulating properties. SF6 also has some non-electrical applications such as manufacturing of molten magnesium and aluminum, leak detection, window insulation, plasma etching for semiconductor chip production, shock absorbers, contrasting agent in ultrasound imaging, and a tracer in monitoring air pollution, among others.

Based on application, the power & energy segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth due to the large-scale use of SF6 in the manufacturing of gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), switchgear, high-voltage circuit breakers, high voltage transformers, gas-insulated power substations, distribution voltage, gas-insulated transmission lines, and particles accelerators, among others which are the major drivers for the product in power & energy industry. SF6 acts as insulation in super-voltage generators present in particle and electron accelerators for property enhancement of polymeric materials.

By geography, Asia Pacific is going to have a lucrative growth during the forecast period due to the continued robust economic growth, low production and labor cost, and favorable regulatory framework. These factors are influencing the bulk production of SF6, which in turn is fueling the growth of the product market in the region. China is a highly lucrative country for sulfur hexafluoride in Asia Pacific. Rapid urbanization due to rise in demand for power utilities in the country and presence of a well-established semiconductor manufacturing industry are anticipated to fuel the sulfur hexafluoride market in China during the forecast period. Demand for end-use applications in the electronics industry has been increasing mainly in countries such as Thailand, South Korea, Taiwan, and Malaysia. This, in turn, is projected to fuel the sulfur hexafluoride market during the forecast period.
