“World
Silicones Market", The silicones market is expected to reach $20,784
million by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2016 to 2022. Silicone
elastomers segment dominated with more than one-third share of the market
revenue and volume in 2015.
The
silicone market is driven by factors such as rapid infrastructure development,
growing adoption of medical implants, and superior properties namely less CO2
and other greenhouse gas emissions from silicone products. Silicones bond with
most materials, from concrete, glass, granite, and marble to aluminum, steel,
and plastics. These are the best choice for various infrastructure activities
owing to their advantages such as high durability and resistance to decay
caused to other materials through rough weather conditions, moisture, or
sunlight. Silicones are widely accepted as safe materials for human body and
are also approved by FDA after extensive research to be used as a fixture or
implant in different parts of the body. They are also utilized in many other
medical treatments to facilitate healing at a faster rate, enhance the
appearance of existing scars, and decrease discomfort. The factors that
restrain the market growth include availability and volatile cost of raw
materials.
Silicones
market is segmented into different types such as elastomers, fluids, resins and
gels. The elastomer segment accounted for more than one-third of the world
silicone market, both in terms of volume and revenue in 2015, owing to its
unique ability to retain its mechanical properties over a wide temperature
range. Hence, silicone elastomers are mostly applicable in construction, where
they are used as structural glazing sealant. Silicone fluids is the second
largest segment and is mostly used in cosmetics, paints & coatings, and
healthcare industries.
The
demand for silicones from electronics end user segment is projected to increase
at a CAGR of 6.5%, owing to increase in the global electronics device &
component production, especially in China & other emerging countries. The
demand in medical end user segment is expected to show considerable growth due
to its growing usage in implant, dental bridges, medical device, medical
tubing, and scar gel.
Key findings of the
study
- Asia-Pacific is expected to continue to lead the market throughout 2022, followed by Europe.
- The building & construction end user segment accounted nearly half of the world silicones demand in 2015.
- Silicone elastomers market volume is projected to grow with a higher CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.
- China contributed one-fifth of the world silicones market volume in 2015.
Asia-Pacific
and Europe collectively contributed about two-thirds to the world silicones
market revenue in 2015. In the year 2015, Asia-Pacific dominated the silicones
market due to its high consumption in building & construction and vehicle
production. The prominent players profiled in this report include Bluestar
Silicones International Co., Ltd. (France), Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd.
(Japan), Momentive Performance Materials Inc. (U.S.), Wacker Chemie AG
(Germany), Dow Corning Corporation (U.S.), Evonik Industries AG (Germany),
Sivance LLC (U.S.), CSL Silicones Inc. (Canada), Emerald Performance Materials,
LLC (U.S.), and ICM Products Inc. (U.S.).
