Market Overview:
The global silicone sponge market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for silicone sponge in various applications such as transport, petrochemical, electronic and others. Silicone sponge is also used as a sealant and gasket material in various industries owing to its properties such as thermal stability, chemical resistance and low compression set. In addition, rising demand for lightweight materials across different end-use industries is also projected to fuel the growth of the global silicone sponge market over the forecast period. Some of the key players operating in this market are Momentive Performance Materials Inc., Wacker Chemie AG, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd.
Product Definition:
A silicone sponge is a porous, spongy material made from silicone rubber. It is often used as a sealant or gasket between two surfaces to prevent leakage.
Sheet:
Sheet is a thin, flat piece of material. It can be made from any material including glass, plastic and metal. The most commonly used sheet in the world is silicone rubber which is produced by the polymerization of silicon dioxide or silica. Other materials that are used to produce sheets include polyimide, nylon and PVC among others.
Tube:
The tube is a hollow cylindrical container made from silica, also known as silicon dioxide. It is the most important raw material used in the production of silicone sponges. The other two primary raw materials include polyethylene and tetraethylene glycol. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) forms into a thin layer upon itself, which acts as an excellent barrier to water vapor and gases; thus making it highly resistant to water absorption and gas permeability.
Application Insights:
Petrochemical application dominated the global silicone sponge market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The product is widely used for oil & gas processing and refining due to its properties such as non-porous, chemical inertness, high tensile strength and flexibility. These sponges are used for a variety of applications including emulsification, foaming, corrosion prevention & control among others.
Electronic application segment is expected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from various end-use industries such as consumer electronics and IT industry which includes smartphones/tablets etc., automotive electronics where silicones are utilized in capacitors production or circuit boards assembly line along with other polymers like PVC or PE among others.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising product demand from various end-use industries, such as electronics, automotive, construction and others. China is one of the largest producers of silicone products owing to low manufacturing costs coupled with large land area available for farming purpose. These factors have contributed significantly toward regional growth over the past few years.
The growing automobile industry in Brazil has boosted product consumption across several applications such as engine oil seals, gaskets and sealants for tires among others. In addition, increasing foreign investments coupled with government support are anticipated to boost industrialization in Latin America which will further propel silicone product demand over the next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for silicone sponge in medical and healthcare industry for various applications such as wound care, surgery, and others
- Rising demand from end-use industries such as automotive, construction, electrical & electronics, and others
- Growing awareness about the benefits of silicone sponge among consumers
- Technological advancements in manufacturing process of silicone sponge
- Expansion of distribution network by key players
