[118 Pages Report] The automotive silicone market is expected to grow from USD 2.37 billion in 2018 and reach USD 3.33 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2018 to 2023. In this report, 2017 is considered as the base year and the forecast period is from 2018 to 2023.
The main objective of the study is to define, describe, and forecast the automotive silicone market based on type and application. The report strategically analyzes the market segments with respect to individual growth trends, prospects, and contribution to the total market. In the report, the market size is projected for segments, in terms of value and volume, with respect to five major regions (along with the countries), namely, North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.
The automotive industry in APAC is growing rapidly due to the growth in population, increasing income level, improving standards of living, and increasing consumer preferences for high-performance vehicles. As APAC is a rapidly developing economy, many foreign investors, and automotive manufacturers are establishing their production plants in the region. This surge in the automotive production is boosting the demand for automotive components in which silicone is used. The automotive production volume is high in APAC, which makes it a prime automotive silicone market.
The automotive industry continues to grow in the APAC region owing to the significant demand for automotive silicone from developing countries, such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea, which will, in turn, boost the growth of the automotive silicone market.
Both, top-down and bottom-up both approaches were used to estimate and validate the size of the global automotive silicone market and to estimate the size of various other dependent submarkets. The research study involved the use of extensive secondary sources, directories, and databases such as D&B Hoovers, Bloomberg, Chemical Weekly, Factiva, Bloomberg Businessweek, and articles from recognized authors to identify and collect information useful for a technical, market-oriented, and commercial study of the automotive silicone market.

The market size of automotive silicone, in terms of value, is expected to reach USD 3.33 billion by 2023 from USD 2.37 billion in 2018, at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2018 to 2023. High-growth application areas such as electrical components and interior & exterior parts used in automotive industry, rising income of people in emerging economies, and high growth in the automotive industry are the key factors driving the growth of the automotive silicone market.
The automotive silicone market is experiencing significant growth across the world due to increasing demand for better qualitative and improved performance automotive products, and increasing use of silicone in the automotive industry, in emerging markets such as Asia Pacific and Latin America. The automotive silicone market is also growing as there is an increasing demand for highly efficient and lightweight materials in the automotive industry that helps them in enhancing the durability and efficiency of vehicles.
Based on application, the automotive silicone market has been segmented into interior & exterior, engines, electrical, and others. The interior and exterior segment includes exhaust hangers, airbags, exterior trim, and shock absorbers. The engines segment include gaskets, radiator seals, and filtration. The electrical segment includes ignition cables, battery seals, and connectors. Interior & exterior is estimated to be the largest application segment of automotive silicones and electrical is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. The increase in demand for the automotive silicone in plastics & coating expected to drive the market in this application.
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market for automotive silicone during the forecast period. China and India are among the fastest-growing economies in the world. India is projected to continue to be the fastest growing market for automotive silicone during the forecast period. The growth of the automotive silicone market in Asia Pacific can be attributed to the easy availability of raw materials used to manufacture these silicones and growing automotive industry. Lesser stringent regulations related to the use and manufacturing of the automotive silicone compared to North America and Europe also provide growth opportunities to the manufacturers of automotive silicone in the region.
The automotive silicone market is growing at a significant rate. However, there are certain factors that hinder the market growth. The growing adoption of electric vehicles especially in the developed economies of Europe and North America region is restricting the growth of the automotive silicone market.
Automotive silicone is used in airbags, exhaust hangers, hoses, exterior trims, headlamps, shock absorbers, grommets, interior trims, and membranes in the interior & exterior application. Airbags are defined as safety devices installed in a vehicle, which consist of a cushion that is designed to inflate rapidly in the event of a collision and protect passengers from impact. There are mainly three types of airbags installed in a vehiclefrontal airbag, knee airbags, and side & curtain airbags. Automotive exterior trim components have superior fit, finish, and aesthetic properties that are critical for conveying design and brand appeal. Weight, durability, and the environmental aspects of trim materials are critical design considerations that must be carefully evaluated.
The major automobile manufacturers are using RTV silicone rubber for bonding and sealing material as they exhibit superior high- and low-temperature resistance, good electrical properties and high adhesiveness. Silicone is very robust and excellent for use as a vibration damper in the automotive industry. Automotive Silicones are also used in various filters that are used in the automobile. The filter types considered are air, fuel, oil, cabin, brake dust, steering, coolant, oil separator, and transmission filters. The level is determined on the basis that how efficiently does the filter separate particles from fluids or gas.
The electrical applications of automotive silicones include power transmission, damping & insulation, ignition cables, and spark plug boots. A transmission is a mechanism in a power transmission system that provides controlled application of the power. Often the term transmission refers simply to the gearbox that uses gears and gear trains to provide speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device. Silicone compounds are used for providing maximum safety in cables that are used in the power transmission system.
Companies such as DowDupont (US), Wacker Chemie (Germany), Evonik (Germany), Shin-Etsu (Japan), Momentive Performance Materials (US), and Elkem (Norway) are major players operating in the global automotive silicone market. These companies focus on strengthening their market position through increased R&D; activities and technological advancements. They also focus on adopting various organic and inorganic growth strategies, such as expansions, agreements & joint ventures, and new product launches & developments to increase their market share.
