Moreover, escalating demand from the consumer electronics industry, in consort with mergers, acquisitions, and other strategic alliances by market players, and introduction of innovative products are stimulating the overall market outlook. Citing an instance, Elkem ASA, in September 2019, introduced the SILCOLEASE POLY 600 series, a solvent-free polymer designed to deliver great performance in high-speed labelling applications.
On the contrary, stringent regulatory policies regarding the production of silicone are expected to hinder the industry expansion throughout the analysis timeframe. Further, the Covid-19 pandemic followed by imposition of stringent lockdown measures has disrupted the entire supply chain, thereby lowering the product demand and arresting worldwide silicone market expansion.
Based on type, global silicone market is bifurcated into gels, resins, fluid, and elastomers. The end-user terrain of the industry is segmented into energy, medical & healthcare, electronics, transportation personal care & consumer products, building & construction, industrial process, and others.
From a regional point of view, Asia-Pacific silicone industry is slated to amass lucrative gains over 2020-2027. Surging product demand from several end-use verticals, primarily building & construction, consumer products, transportation, and electronics is fostering the expansion of the regional market.
Major players that formulate the competitive dashboard of the silicone industry are Specialty Silicone Products Inc., Innospec Inc., Evonik Industries AG, Gelest Inc., Dow Chemical Company, Elkem ASA, KCC Corporation, Momentive Performance Materials Inc., Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd., and Wacker Chemie AG among others.
