Silicone release liners type is expected to be the fastest-growing segment, in terms of value and volume, in the silicone film market, during the forecast period.
On the basis of type, the silicone film market has been categorized into silicone film, silicone coated film, and silicone release liners. Silicone release liners is projected to be the fastest-growing type segment of the silicone film market during the forecast period, whereas silicone coated film is the second-fastest growing type. Silicone is the most commonly used release coating material due to its ability to offer a number of desirable performance characteristics, such as a distinct silicon-oxygen bond, ultra-low surface energy, and high gas permeability.
By end-use industry, the electronics is expected to be the largest segment, in terms of value and volume, in the silicone film market during the forecast period.
On the basis of end-use industry, the silicone film market has been segmented into electronics, medical, industrial, packaging, and others. Electronics is the largest and fastest-growing end-use industry of silicone film. Silicone films are widely used in the electronics industry due to their key properties, such as hydrophobicity, high dielectric breakdown, resistance to high and low temperatures, which enable them to be used in critical and harsh environments in the electronics end-use industry.
APAC is projected to be the largest and fastest-growing market, in terms of value and volume, during the forecast period.
On the basis of region, the silicone film market has been segmented into APAC, Europe, North America, Middle East & Africa, and South America. The market in APAC is more dynamic and competitive than its western counterparts owing to the high demand from end-use industries, namely, electronics, medical, packaging, and others. It is also the fastest-growing silicone film market in terms of both production and demand. The key end-use industries, especially electronics and medical are expected to witness significant growth during the next five years in the region.
