The global hydrofluoric acid market is likely to showcase a growth of around 5% during the forecast period. Hydrofluoric acid regardless of its corrosive nature is used in a wide range of industries owing to its characteristics giving an edge over others. Electronics, metallurgical, glass, polymer, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and petrochemicals, among others, are some of the most prominent industries where hydrofluoric acid is used. Hydrofluoric acid is not an end-user product; therefore, its market dynamics majorly depend upon the performance of the aforementioned industries. Over the years, the production capacity of these industries has been rising owing to growing demographic, rising income, and supportive policies, to name a few, thereby increasing the demand for raw materials used in the manufacturing of end products. This in turn increases the demand for hydrofluoric acid. For instance, hydrofluoric acid is used in fluorine-containing pharmaceutical products, therefore as the global pharmaceutical market increased from $879 billion in 2011 to around $1,571 billion in 2020, the demand for compounds or raw materials used in the manufacturing process also increased.
