Industry Insights
Nitrogen Trifluoride (NF3) market is expected to reach over USD 1.20
billion by 2020 owing to growing demand in electrical & electronics
applications. NF3 is used as a cleansing agent for silicon wafers in
solar energy appliances and semiconductors which are expected to drive
demand over the forecast period.
NF3 is considered a better cleansing agent in comparison to other
agents such as perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride and hexafluroethane
due to environmental effectiveness and eco-friendly properties. The
Kyoto Protocol has listed NF3 as the second most global warming
potential gas after SF6 and included it in the list for second
commitment period after 2012.

The acceptance of Kyoto Protocol by the U.S. and European nations
is expected to be a major restraint for NF3 market growth over the
forecast period. Major restraints for F2 market is high reactivity
making it toxic for human beings in case of prolonged or direct
exposure.
Application Insights
NF3 is mainly used in manufacturing of flat panel displays,
semiconductor chips and solar cells. With increasing environmental
concern and lucrative policies implemented by government for
installation of solar power units, there is a drastic increase in solar
panel demand. NF3 demand is expected to rise over the forecast period
due to application in solar cells. NF3 is used in flat panel display and
is expected to be the fastest growing application with a CAGR of about
13% from 2014 to 2020. With increasing demand of flat panel display due
to less power consumption and compact size, the demand for NF3 is
expected to rise over the forecast period.
The largest application segment of NF3 market was semiconductor chip
which accounted for above 45% of total demand in 2013. It is used in
semiconductor industry to clean manufacturing chambers of silicon chips.
NF3 is utilized in cleaning of PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor
Deposition) chambers for manufacturing of laptop screens, mobile phones,
camcorder, digital camera, point and shoot camera. Additionally, NF3
market application includes cleaning of silicon wafers for thin film
photovoltaic cells or thin film solar cells production.

F2 market demand is mainly driven by utility as an electronic
cleansing agent and is expected to rise at a CAGR of above 13% over the
forecast period. With increasing utility and electronics application
there is a growing demand around the world, with increase in number of
products cleaning agent demand has increased which in turn has augmented
F2 market. F2 is used to produce sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) which is
generally used in electronic application as a dielectric medium. The
other application of SF6 includes contrast agent for ultrasound imaging,
casing medium for magnesium production and tracer compound.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific was the largest NF3 and F2 market with a demand of about
43% and 45% respectively. NF3 being utilized in electrical and
electronic industry has fueled demand in the region. Countries such as
South Korea, Japan and China are expected to boost NF3 demand with
growing semiconductor industry. F2 is utilized in uranium enrichment in
nuclear power plant. With growing power demand in China and India due to
rapid industrialization and increasing population nuclear power plant
is emerging as a power source owing to long term benefits. There is a
steady growth for NF3 and F2 market both in North America and Europe due
to stringent rules and regulation by the governments.
