Thermal Silicone Gel Market
Thermal Silicone Gel Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Single Component, and Two Component), and by End-User Industry (Automotives, Consumer Electronics, Telecommunication, Power, and Others (Defense)) Forecast Period (2025-2035)
Industry Overview
Thermal silicone gel market is projected to grow from $1.5 billion in 2024 to $2.8 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of 5.6% over the forecast period (2025–2035). Thermal silicone has been gradually gaining traction in the global market as an advanced alternative to thermal pads in industries including electronics, telecommunication, and automotive. Further, the trend for miniaturization of electronic components and the growth of markets such as data centers and 5G are widely contributing to its adoption of industry. However, the industry's inclination to shift towards silicon-free alternatives may pose a considerable hindrance to market expansion for the forecast period.
Market Dynamics
Evolving Data Center Industry
The data center industry is projected to be a key contributor in extending the business footprint of thermal silicone gels in the forecast period. The factor largely supports the adoption of thermal silicone gel, as the data center industry has been extensively expanding to support the next-generation technological growth for AI, cloud, and HPC. However, the growth faces several challenges, such as arranging for optimal heat dissipation, sustaining the required performance, and advancing the infrastructure with minimal space utilization. These requirements are stimulating data center operators to adopt advanced cooling and heat dissipation solutions, including thermal silicone gels for achieving necessary operational standards such as efficient energy use and evading overheating-based breakdowns. For instance, according to the United States International Trade Commission, global data volume is projected to reach 175 zettabytes by 2025, a 146-fold increase since 2010, with more data generated from 2018-2020 than ever before. The data processing market will grow from $56 billion (2020) to $90 billion (2025), while the data analytics sector is set to rise from $189.1 billion (2019) to $274 billion (2022).
Global Thermal Silicone Gel Market by End-User Industry, 2024 (%)
Shift towards Silicone-Free Alternatives
The market faces extreme concerns over the obsolescence of silicon-based thermal gels owing to the industry shift towards silicon-free alternatives for several applications. The trend is majorly supported by the regulatory introduction of mandates such as ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) in Europe which requires minimal use of hazardous materials in electronics. Simultaneously, the development of silicone-free alternatives that provide enhanced features such as enhanced compatibility with sensitive applications in aerospace and automotive and better thermal conductivity, while compliance with upcoming regulatory requirements is projected to largely influence the end-user entities to make a shift to the novel alternative. For example, in March 2025, Henkel's Bergquist Liqui Form TLF 6500 CGel-SF has a thermal conductivity of 6.5 W/m·K, which ensures ADAS domain controllers can effectively get rid of heat and reduce mechanical stress. The silicone-free, thermally curable gel streamlines manufacturing and enhances component reliability for high-speed autonomous driving.
Market Segmentation
- Based on the type, the market is segmented into single components and two components.
- Based on the end-user industry, the market is segmented into automotive, consumer electronics, telecommunication, power, and others (defense).
Two Component Thermal Silicone Gel Segment to Lead the Market with the Largest Share
Two-component thermal silicone gel holds the major market in the type segment based on its features that provide options for scalability, use in complex electrical arrangements and higher thermal conductivity than its counterpart. Further, the product also has better sync with the trends of miniaturization and efficiency, as the product has lower viscosity and better insulation for heat dissipation.
Consumer Electronics: A Key Segment in Market Growth
Consumer electronics is expected to remain a very prominent end-user industry market for thermal silicone gel, attributing to the expanding consumer electronics market, increasing adoption of thermal silicon gels in wearables, the rise of miniaturization trends, and a higher level of industry emphasis on incorporating advanced thermal management solutions.
Regional Outlook
The global thermal silicone gel market is further divided by geography, including North America (the US and Canada), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, ASEAN Countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Asia-Pacific Region is projected to hold a Larger Share in the Global Thermal Silicone Gel Market
Asia-Pacific holds a major share in the thermal silicone gel market owing to a lack of stringent regulation that mandates hazardous material use, industry inclination for economical solutions for thermal management, rapid expansion in the telecommunication and data center industry, and the existence of manufacturing hubs for automotive and consumer electronics. Further, the region remains a frontrunner in EV adoption and renewable energy deployment, wherein it is projected to utilize a vast level of thermal management solutions for maintaining efficiency and evading breakdown, highly promoting the adoption of thermal silicone gels in the region for the forecast period. For instance, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the electronics manufacturing industry in India has seen rapid expansion, reaching $67.3 billion in 2020-21, up from $37.1 billion in 2015-16. Aiming to become a global electronics hub, the government targets $300 billion in manufacturing by 2026. India's global electronics market share increased from 1.3% in 2012 to 3.6% in 2020, aligning with its goal of building a $1 trillion digital economy under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative.
