Silicone Market Size Worth $19.7 Billion By 2028 | CAGR: 4.3% | Global and Regional Forecast | Grand View Research, Inc.
The global silicone market size is anticipated to reach USD 19.7 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2021 to 2028. The rising demand for lightweight automotive materials to decrease the overall vehicle weight and fuel consumption is likely to drive the market over the forecast period. The rising importance of liquid silicone rubber as Liquid Injection Molding System (LIMS) materials in wire harness for inducing indispensable wiring system is also expected to drive the market. Furthermore, the growing demand for electroactive materials in the electrical industry will fuel market growth.
On the basis of end-use applications, the
market is segmented into transportation, electronics, industrial processes,
construction, consumer goods and personal care, energy, and healthcare sectors.
The electronics segment is expected to witness a CAGR of 5.4% 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, Electronic Control Units
(ECUs), LED devices, and various ICT equipment. This, in turn, is attributed to
propel market growth over the forecast period.
Moreover, silicone is biologically inert
and is known for bio durability and biocompatibility owing to its inherent
thermal and chemical stability, hydrophobicity, low surface tension, and
resistance to sterilization methods. These favorable properties of silicone
make it ideal for a wide range of healthcare applications. Silicone is majorly
used in catheters, drains and shunts, orthopedics, blood-oxygenator,
heart-bypass machines, heart valves, components in kidney dialysis, and
aesthetic implants.
The rising disposable income of consumers
and growing aging population coupled with an increasing number of initiatives
taken by governments across the globe to provide basic healthcare facilities to
their respective populations, particularly in emerging economies including
China and India, is expected to augment the demand for silicone. A 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 market
growth.
