Silicones are polymers made from the monomer of siloxane (a chain of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms). These have high heat resistance (up to 250◦C), adheres very well to a substrate and form watertight seals. These properties have increased the application areas in various industries. Key drivers of the market are novel application areas of silicone which utilize the properties of high operating temperature, especially in steadily growing in developing countries.
Silicone elastomers account for the majority of the revenue in the silicone market Mainly due to the huge demand in the Electrical & Electronic industry. Silicone Oil segment follows the silicone elastomers market. Building & Construction segment had the highest contribution in the silicone market with increasing construction projects where silicone is used as weatherproofing material. Asia Pacific had the largest regional share followed by Europe. China dominates the silicone market at the country level which is a result of increased manufacturing base and large electrical & electronic market. The silicones market is highly consolidated with intense competition in the market. Some of the key players operating in the market are Dow Corning Corporation, Wacker Chemie AG and Momentive Performance Materials Inc., among others.
