The global polysiloxane market is projected to grow at a considerable CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period (2020-2026). Polysiloxane is a chemical material that is chemically inert, resistant to water and oxidation, and are perfectly stable at both high and low temperatures. These characteristics of the polysiloxane make them suitable for use in a wide range of commercial applications ranging from lubricating greases to electrical-wire insulation and biomedical implants (such as breast implants or leg implants). Polysiloxanes can be manufactured as fluids, resins, or elastomers, depending on the molecular weight of the polymers and the degree to which the polymer chains are interlinked.
Polysiloxane is highly used in the coating of such structures owing to its capability to provide corrosion protection, high-temperature protection, and fire protection that ensure the durability and aesthetics of the building structures. In addition, the good solubility, excellent heat radiation, fair adhesion to various substrates, film-forming ability, and superior thermal & chemical resistivity of these chemicals makes them suitable for manufacturing of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), electrical memories, and solar cells among others. Technological drawbacks and incompatibility with some other additives are a major restrain for the growth of the global polysiloxane market. However, the ongoing R&D to explore new application sectors for polysiloxane is likely to create growth opportunities for the polysiloxance industry during the forecast period.
Segmental Outlook
The polysiloxane market is segmented based on the application and end-user industry. Based on application, the market is segmented into medical, paints & coatings, adhesives and sealants, elastomers, organic electronic materials, fabrics, and others. Based on the end-user industry, the market is segmented into healthcare, oil & gas, power, infrastructure, transportation, electronics, food & beverage, textile, and others.
Electronics Industry to be considerable segment based on End-User Industry
The electronics industry is anticipated to hold a major market share based on the end-user industry segment. The growing use of polysiloxane in encapsulation applications in the electronics industry due to its nature to perform perfect encapsulation is a key factor contributing to the high share of the market segment. The growing electronics industry across the globe along with the demand for polysiloxanes in the coating of electronic parts to make them shock-resistant is anticipated to drive the growth of the market segment.
Global Polysiloxane Market Share by End-User Industry, 2019 (%)
Regional Outlook
The global polysiloxane market is further segmented based on geography including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific is anticipated to hold a major market share in the global polysiloxane market during the forecast period. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, India became the fifth-largest automobile market in 2019, with sales reaching 3.8 million units. India was the seventh-largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles in 2019. The significant presence of end-user industries such as healthcare, oil & gas, power, infrastructure, transportation, electronics, food & beverage, a textile that makes intensive use of polysiloxanes is fuelling the demand for Polysiloxanes in the region, thereby making a huge contribution towards the high share of the market in the region. Moreover, the presence of stringent regulation in the US related to the use of VOC compounds in the region may restrain the growth of the polysiloxane market in the North American region.
Global Polysiloxane Market Growth, by Region 2020-2026
North America will be a considerable market for the Polysiloxane
The growing adoption of polysiloxane by the major end-user industries operating in the region owing to its offered benefits is a key factor contributing to the growth of the polysiloxane market across the globe. The region has a well-established pharmaceutical industry, the growing adoption of polysiloxane in the packaging of pharma products is anticipated to create polysiloxane in the regional market.
Market Players Outlook
