The global Silicone Market size is anticipated to reach USD 32.26 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., advancing at a CAGR of 6.1% over the forecast period. The industry is expected to grow on the account of the increasing product demand from various en
d-use industries. The electronics end-use segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR over the projected period. In the electronics industry, silicone is used in the form of greases, fluids, varnishes, rubbers, and oil in a broad range of applications, such as for moisture-proofing of boards, modification of semiconductor encapsulating materials, and protecting the ends of heating element wires in Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), semi-conductors, and Electronic Control Units (ECUs), LED devices, and various ICT equipment. This is attributed to substantial growth in the future.
Major
players are involved in mergers and acquisition activities to gain higher
market shares. For instance, in November 2021, Momentive Performance Materials,
Inc. announced the acquisition of KCC Corp.’s silicone business in the U.K. and
South Korea. In addition, Momentive has acquired KCC’s sales operations in
China as well, further boosting Momentive’s global footprint in specialized
applications and advanced silicones. Moreover, silicones are biologically inert
and are known for bio durability and biocompatibility owing to their inherent
thermal and chemical stability, hydrophobicity, low surface tension, and
resistance to sterilization methods. These favorable properties make them ideal
for a wide range of healthcare applications. Silicones are used in catheters,
drains and shunts, orthopedics, blood-oxygenator, heart-bypass machines, heart
valves, components in kidney dialysis, and aesthetic implants, among others.
The
rising disposable income of consumers and the growing aging population, coupled
with an increasing number of initiatives by governments across the globe,
particularly in emerging economies including China and India, to provide basic
healthcare facilities are expected to augment the product demand. The rising
number of accidents is expected to drive the demand for bandages and cosmetic
surgeries, which, in turn, is likely to have a positive impact on segment
growth. Major players are involved in expansion activities for silicone that
provides improved features. For instance, in March 2022, Wacker Chemie AG
announced a new production site for silicone in Panagarh, India. The facility
will manufacture silicone rubber and ready-to-use silicone compounds for
electrical transmission & distribution, electromobility, and medical
technology.
