The boron trifluoride market is primarily driven by the increase in demand for boron trifluoride (BF3) as a catalyst in end-use industries and expansion in the chemical industry. Chemical is one of the major industries driving the global boron trifluoride market. Apart from its use as a catalyst, BF3 is employed as a reagent for desulfurizing solvents, intermediates, and cracked petroleum distillates. It is also largely employed as a p-type dopant in the manufacture of several semiconductor products. BF3 gas is employed in several end-use industries including polymers & plastics, chemicals & petrochemicals, semiconductors & electronics, and pharmaceuticals. Chemicals & petrochemicals is a leading consumer of BF3. End-user industries such as chemicals, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals are anticipated to expand at a steady pace in the near future. This is likely to drive the boron trifluoride market during the forecast period. However, due to the toxicity of BF3 gas, several restrictions have been imposed on its use, handling, and transport. People handling the gas are required to wear protective gear where the gas emission is beyond permissible limit. Currently, end-users of BF3 gas are substituting it with BF3 complexes, which are good catalysts in different chemical reactions. They can substitute BF3 gas in almost all applications. Moreover, due to the availability of BF3 complexes in liquid or solid form, it is easy to handle and transport.
