Silicone Market by Type (Elastomers, Fluids, Resins, Gels), End-use Industry (Industrial Process, Building & Construction, Personal Care & Consumer Products, Transportation, Electronics, Medical & Healthcare, Energy), Region - Global Forecast to 2024
[154 Pages Report] The global silicone market size is estimated to be at USD 20.4 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 28.6 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. The silicone industry is driven mainly by its growing demand in various end-use industries, such as building & construction, industrial process, personal care & consumer goods, transportation, and electronics.
The industrial process end-use industry is expected to account for the largest silicone market share during the forecast period.
The industrial process segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period. It is growing rapidly due to the increasing demand for silicone materials in applications, such as lubricants, anti-foaming agents in offshore drilling, paper production, industrial coatings, and paint additives. Silicone-based sealants are used in demanding industrial processes requiring resistance to high pressure, temperature and corrosion, and adaptation to all types of surfaces. Not only are they used as polymers, but they can also be added to polymers from other materials to improve their performance. Silicones also provide higher durability and resistance in industrial coatings as well as improved performance of lubricants.
By type, the elastomers segment is expected to be the largest contributor in the silicone market during the forecast period.
Based on type, the silicone elastomers segment is likely to account for the largest share of the market during the forecast period. The growth in this segment is attributed to the increasing use in various products, including voltage line insulators, cooking, baking, and food storage products; undergarments, sportswear, and footwear; electronics; medical devices, and implants; and in household gaskets and O-rings. Some silicone elastomers are also used in the manufacturing of sealants. Their physiological inertness makes them suitable for use in the healthcare industry, especially for blood transfusions and in artificial heart valves & various prosthetic devices.
APAC is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period
APAC is estimated to be the leading silicone market during the forecast period. The market growth in this region can be attributed to the rapidly increasing demand for silicone from the end-use industries, especially electronics, building & construction, personal care & consumer products, and transportation. Moreover, several silicone manufacturers, such as Wacker Chemie AG (Germany) and Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd., (Japan) are setting up or expanding their manufacturing facilities in this region to leverage low manufacturing and labor costs and high demand from the end-use industries, thereby boosting the silicone market growth in the region.
