A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Silicone
Elastomers
market. The study,
titled “Silicone
Elastomers Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends and
Forecast 2014 - 2020”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Silicone
elastomers are in general referred as silicone-based polymers that
are vulcanized. Silicone elastomers are majorly available in
different forms, such as closed cell sponges, solids, thermally
conductive and open cell foams. Silicone elastomers with their unique
ability to retain mechanical properties over a wide temperature range
make them suitable in several industrial sectors like construction,
mould making in furniture, automotive applications and electronics
division. The market for silicone elastomers is largely dominated by
China which is followed by Europe and then the U.S. With several
production facilities and availability of local suppliers the
consumption of silicone elastomers is expected to rise at rapid pace
in China. However this market is expected to be price sensitive with
further increase in production rate across several other regions like
Middle East and Africa.

Silicones
or polysiloxanes are one of the most versatile polymers consisting of
an alternating silicon-oxygen backbone, characteristically with
aromatic side group. Silicones are generally classified as
elastomers, fluids, or resins based on the extent of cross-linking or
their molecular weight. Silicone elastomers are majorly cross linked
linear silicone fluids having a three-dimensional structure. In order
to increase the strength of silicone elastomers they are added with
reinforcing fillers like silica. The major properties of silicone
elastomers include excellent ozone and UV resistance, high thermal
conductivity, exceptional weatherability, easy to fabricate or
process, high gas and drug permeability, outstanding electrical
insulating properties, low flammability, low compression set at
elevated temperatures and sterilizable.
With
this wide range of chemical and mechanical properties silicone
elastomers have several commercial and industrial applications as
sealants and structural glazing (construction sector), mold making
(prototyping and restoration), gaskets, vibration dampers, hoses,
spark plug boots, ignition cables and o-rings (automotive sector),
door seals and masks(aerospace and aviation
sector),adhesives(electronic sector), shoe inserts, bakeware, kitchen
utensils, gasketing, tubes, infant care products (consumer goods),
dental and surgical devices, orthopedics and prosthetics, medical
tubing, sterilization mats and catheters (health care sector).
The
extensive range of applications in numerous sectors makes the market
for silicone elastomers most lucrative. The growth in automotive
sector is one of the most important catalysts for the silicone
elastomers. Also the demand for safe and sterile surgical and other
instruments in health sector across all countries will boost up the
market for silicone elastomers. The common applications in consumer
goods will further propel the need of silicone elastomers. As the
electronic sector flourishes it will add to the demand of silicone
elastomers which are as used as adhesive primarily due to their high
thermal conductivity. The increase in aviation sector will boost the
aerospace applications will indirectly fuel the need of silicone
elastomers. The major regions that dominate the silicone market are
China,
Europe and the U.S. However as per current market share China acts as
a leader. The major reason behind this is increased manufacturing
facilities coupled with the accessibility of domestic sources. The
developed countries across the U.S. and Europe are expected to have
stable market for silicone elastomers as they face stiff price
completion from China and other countries. The other regions like
Middle East and other African countries are expected to have upward
trend in consumption of silicone elastomers.
