The global silicones market size reached US$ 13.7 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 19.1 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.77% during 2023-2028.

Silicones, also known as polysiloxanes, are inert synthetic compounds, which can be manufactured in numerous forms, including oil, rubber, resin, and liquid. They are flexible and resistant to chemicals, moisture, UV rays, and high and low temperatures. As they enable fabrics to retain their shape and texture, silicones are used in the production of lightweight, durable, water-repellent, and high-performing sportswear. Besides this, it finds extensive application in the healthcare, aerospace, personal care, electronics, transportation, and construction industries.

Silicones Market Trends:
Silicones are widely utilized in personal care and cosmetic products, such as creams, shampoos, foundations, eyeshadows, and blushes. This, in confluence with the increasing consciousness about physical appearance among individuals, represents one of the major factors bolstering market growth. It can also be attributed to product benefits like improving the longevity of products and protecting the skin from chemical exposure and other environmental damages by forming a barrier on the skin. In addition, the rising employment of silicones as a sealant in the construction industry to enhance the flexibility of building structures is contributing to market growth. Moreover, due to high thermal stability and excellent dielectric properties, silicones are widely used in the manufacturing of electronic components, such as keyboards, mobile phones, television (TV), led lights, and tablets. This, in confluence with the growing sales of consumer electronics, is driving the market. Furthermore, the growing traction of photovoltaic panels and devices is catalyzing the demand for silicones as they are cost-effective and improve efficiency, durability, and performance. Besides this, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular and Alzheimer’s, is creating a positive outlook for the market.
