Trifluoroacetic Acid Market - Global Market Share, Trends, Analysis and Forecasts, 2023-2032

The global trifluoroacetic acid market size was estimated to be US$ 300 Million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 415 Million by 2032 at a CAGR of 3.3%.

Trifluoroacetic acid, also abbreviated as TFA, is a chemical compound of organofluorine with the chemical formula as CF3CO2H. Trifluoroacetic acid is a colourless fluid with a vinegar like pungent smell but relatively stronger in acidity. Invented in 1922, Trifluoroacetic acid has emerged as a very important chemical with very distinct characteristic.

Trifluoroacetic acid is widely used in several organic chemistry applications. In pesticide and pharmaceutical applications, trifluoroacetic acid is a widely used intermediate chemical. Hydrofluoric acid is one of the key raw materials used in production of TFA and therefore the price of raw hydrofluoric acid has a major impact on the overall growth of trifluoroacetic acid in the market.

Trifluoroacetic acid is mainly produced in North America, China, and India. Several Chinese chemical manufacturing companies have recently started TFA production. China took the lead in the global TFA market in 2017. China annually produces approximately 10900 metric tons of TFA. Increasing demand for TFA in pesticide intermediates is a key factor driving overall market growth. In addition, rising investments in enhancing agricultural outputs, particularly in developing economies, further drive demand for efficient pesticides, driving the global market for trifluoroacetic acid over the forecast period, growing at a CAGR of 5.0%.
