The global silicone polymer market is expected to reach USD 35.90 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period 2022 to 2030. The polycarbonate market has grown due to the increasing demand for sustainable polymers with excellent impact and temperature resistance properties in various industries like medical device, packaging, automotive etc.

 

Market Overview

Silicone is an inorganic polymer. Silicone exhibits excellent characteristic properties which are responsible for the increased demand for silicone polymers in various sectors like industrial process, medical, pharmaceutical, personal care, electronics etc. Silicone polymers are extensively used in the semiconductor sector because of their atomically stable structure. Silicone polymers can block electricity and conduct electricity which makes them an ideal material for the semiconductors industry. Apart from this silicone polymers market is also experiencing huge demand from the electronics potting segment because silicone polymers possess high dielectric strength, thermal stability, and water-repellence. The water-repellence property of silicone is boosting the demand for silicone polymers in the paint and coatings sector. The COVID-19 outbreak affects the silicone polymer market, the sudden rise in the covid-19 cases and lockdowns across the world hinders the growth of the silicone market.

 

The government suspended industrial production and manufacturing operations due to strict restrictions and reduced consumer demand. Furthermore, the challenges during the pandemic result in the high cost of raw materials, which is one of the main restraining factors hindering the market growth. In addition, the growing demand for lightweight automobile parts and the increase in research and development activities are expected to increase silicone polymer demand during the forecast period. Silicone polymers are also gaining huge attention from the personal care sector, silicone gel sheets are used to prevent scars of new wounds and to reduce the scars.
