Perfluorosulfonic acid is primarily used in the form of
membranes and dispersions in electrochemical applications. This acid is used in
proton exchange membrane fuel cells, chlor-alkali industry, lithium-ion
rechargeable batteries, photocatalysis, and chemical catalysis.
Perfluorosulfonic acid-based resins are also used in the fabrication of thin
films and coating formulations for fuel cell membranes.
The global
perfluorosulfonic acid market is primarily driven by an increase in the demand for
perfluorosulfonic acid for use in energy storage applications.
Perfluorosulfonic acid is primarily used in ion exchange membranes due to its
high proton conductance and gas separating capabilities. The use of
perfluorosulfonic acid assists in enhancing the output and effectiveness of ion
exchange membranes. Therefore, demand for perfluorosulfonic acid in energy
storage applications is anticipated to increase in the near future. Advances in
the electrochemical conversion of water from hydrogen and oxygen using ion
exchange membrane have principally been achieved through the development of new
chemicals such as perfluorosulfonic acid. Furthermore, manufacturers of ion
exchange membranes and fuel cells prefer adopting perfluorosulfonic acids,
owing to their excellent attributes. This is projected to offer lucrative
opportunities to the perfluorosulfonic acid market.
The global perfluorosulfonic acid market can be segmented based
on purity, form, application, and region. Based on purity, the global
perfluorosulfonic acid market can be classified into < 99% and ≥ 99%. The ≥
99% segment holds a key share of the market. Demand for perfluorosulfonic acid
with ≥ 99% purity for use in perfluorosulfonic acid membranes is expected to
increase in the near future, owing to increase in its usage of fuel cell
membranes.

In terms of form, the global perfluorosulfonic acid market can
be segmented into membranes, dispersions, powders, and pellets. The membranes
segment holds a significant share of the market. Perfluorosulfonic acid
membranes are widely used in electronic storage devices, due to their strong
proton (or Na+, K+, Li+) conductivity and favorable water retention properties.
Based on application, the perfluorosulfonic acid market can be
divided into ion exchange conductive film, fuel cell, catalyst, and others. The
fuel cell segment accounted for a significant share of the global
perfluorosulfonic acid market in 2017. Perfluorosulfonic acid possesses
exceptional characteristics such as high stability, high chemical resistance,
and dielectric properties. Hence, it is primarily employed in membranes and
dispersions in fuel cells.
