A Report by DataM Intelligence estimates the Global Silicones market to grow at a high CAGR Of 5.15% during the forecast period 2023- 2030. The market is expected to grow due to increasing demand from Construction, Automotive & Transport, Consumer care, Elastomers. The competitive rivalry intensifies with 3M, Nippon Resibon Corporation., Mirka Ltd., and others operating in the market.
Silicones are modern synthetic products based on raw material, quartz sand, which is available in practically unlimited quantities.Silicones or polysiloxanes are high-performance polymers with an alternating silicon-oxygen backbone, formed with aliphatic or aromatic side groups.Nature, silicon occurs exclusively in oxidized form, as the compounds silicon dioxide and silicates. Due to its properties like excellent waterproofing and excellent moisture resistance, the applications of silicones in the construction industry are rising. This represents the principal contributor to the market growth.

Increases in silicone demand will also benefit from the rising use of high-value materials in emerging applications, particularly in the newly industrialized nations of the world where the use of silicones is not yet mature.
The Asia/Pacific region has risen to become the leading market for silicones, accounting for nearly 40 percent of global demand in 2012.
China is by far the world's largest producer of silicon, including thereby silicon content for ferrosilicon and silicon metal. Around 4.6 million metric tons of silicon was produced in China in 2016 which accounted for about two-thirds of global production that year, which reached about 7.2 million metric tons above-average growth is also forecast for Central and South America, Eastern Europe, and Africa/Mideast region, areas in which silicone demand per capita is currently among the lowest in the world.
As silicones become increasingly well-established in these regions, technological advancements and product innovation will become essential for long-term market growth.
The growing infrastructure activities in emerging countries will drive the silicone market size in the coming days. Increasing focus on the utilization of high-performance materials by the OEMs is expected to facilitate the growth of the automotive silicone market over the forecast period.
Elastomers are the dominant product segment in the market owing to a wide range of applications including spark plug boots, connector seals, airbags, intake manifold gaskets, turbochargers hoses, and silicone wiper blades. The high strength and ease of application are the major factors driving the demand. Silicone sealants may stain on contact with organic elastomers such as EPDM and Neoprene.
Specialty ELASTOSIL® grades are available for applications involving food and drinking water contact. Silicone elastomers must be reinforced with active fillers to give them the desired mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, elongation at break, and tear resistance (notch resistance).
