Silicone Market is Anticipated To Generate Significant Revenues by 2027: Grand View Research Inc.

 Silicone Market Growth & Trends

The global silicone market size is anticipated to reach USD 18.6 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 3.7% from 2020 to 2027. The growing demand for lightweight automotive materials to reduce the overall vehicular weight is expected 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 an 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, the market is segmented into electronics, transportation, construction, healthcare, personal care, and consumer goods, energy, industrial processes, and others. The electronics segment is expected to the fastest-growing end-use segment with a revenue-based CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period. The rising application of silicone in the form of fluids, greases, oil compounds, varnishes, and rubbers in a broad range of electronic applications, such as protecting insulators from salt air damage, 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, is contributing to the significant growth of the market over the forecast period.

Moreover, the positive outlook towards the energy sector, especially in the renewable energy sector such as wind energy and solar energy, has fueled the demand for silicone products in solar panel and wind turbine applications in the recent years. Countries such as the U.S., China, India, and Japan are significantly investing in clean energy to become self-sustained and low greenhouse emission countries. China’s investment in clean energy is the highest in the world. In 2019, China invested around USD 83.4 billion in clean energy research & development. The U.S. and Japan had the second - and third-highest clean energy investments that year. The positive outlook towards the renewable energy sector is expected to fuel the product demand in the coming years.
