MEA Sulfur Hexafluoride Market to 2027 –COVID-19 Impact and Analysis by Grade (Electronic Grade, UHP Grade, and Standard Grade), End-user (Power and Energy, Electronics, Metal Manufacturing, Medical, and Others)
Number of Pages: 70
Market Introduction
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is defined as a non-toxic, inert, potent greenhouse gas that possesses superior electrical insulation characteristics. The sulfur hexafluoride chemical formula is SF6 and constitutes one sulfur atom surrounded by six fluorine atoms. The gas is known for its chemical inertness, non-toxicity, non-combustibility, and non-corrosiveness primarily used as an insulating and arc interrupting agent in the power transmission & distribution sector and as an etching agent in the electronics & semiconductor sector. It is a colorless and odorless gas that is five times heavier than air and exhibits high dielectric strength and thermal stability. SF6 is extensively demanded in power energy, electronic, medical, aerospace, meteorology, and other industrial bases. Thus, the growth in the medical instruments sector is expected to create a significant demand for sulfur hexafluoride in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the sulfur hexafluoride market.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The sulfur hexafluoride market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 20.32 million in 2019 to US$ 27.62 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2020 to 2027. Sulfur hexafluoride possesses excellent properties that make it compatible with electrical appliances. The electric power industry utilizes about 80% of Sulfur hexafluoride produced worldwide. There are several factors affecting the Sulfur hexafluoride emissions, such as the type and age of equipment containing Sulfur hexafluoride, handling and maintenance methods, or procedures practiced by electric utilities. The electric power industry has decided to reduce the nationwide emission of Sulfur hexafluoride by upgrading equipment and adoption of cost-effective operational improvements. The emissions can be mitigated by improving the leak rate of new equipment, refurbishing older equipment and using more efficient maintenance and operation techniques. Thus, the sulfur hexafluoride market offer future growth opportunities for market players operating in the MEA market as the need for electric power are increasing in several industries. This is bolstering the growth of the sulfur hexafluoride market.
The presence of emerging economies backed by industrialization, large population, and increasing disposal income in MEA are the major factors propelling the growth of the sulfur hexafluoride market. However, the outbreak of COVID-19 is expected to affect the economic growth of the MEA region. Although, UAE is the leading manufacturing hub and raw material supplier of various industries, it is one the worst hit countries in MEA, where business activities were ceased due to nationwide lockdown. Other leading manufacturing economies like South Africa and Saudi Arabia were also hit severely. Various measure such as travel bans, business shutdowns, and lockdown are taken by the governments across MEA to control the COVID-19 outbreak.
