Market Overview:
The global silicone additives market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for silicone additives from various end-use industries, such as plastics & composites, paints & coatings, paper & pulp, personal & homecare, food & beverages, chemical manufacturing and oil & gas. In addition, the growing demand for silicone additives in emerging economies is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, volatility in raw material prices may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. On the basis of type, defoamers accounted for a major share of the global silicone additives market in 2017. This can be attributed to their ability to improve product quality and reduce defects caused by foam formation during production processes.
Product Definition:
Silicone additives are compounds that are added to silicone in order to improve its properties. They can help make the silicone more durable, more flexible, and better able to withstand high temperatures. Silicone additives can also help improve the appearance of silicone products, making them less likely to show signs of wear and tear.
Defoamers:
Defoamers are additives that prevent foaming during the processing of silicone products. They play an important role in improving the flow characteristics and reducing gas evolution during processing, which results in enhanced product quality. The global defoamers market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to its increasing application scope as well as growing demand for high-quality silicone products with reduced gas evolution and foam formation.
Wetting & Dispersing Agents:
Wetting and Dispersing agents are used for improving the flowability of silicone additives in polyurethane foams. They help to mix the additive with other ingredients more easily and quickly. The most commonly used wetting agent is sodium lauryl sulphate, also known as Lauryl Sulfate W/O-Biocides (SLS).
The global market size was estimated at USD 1.10 billion in 2016.
Application Insights:
Plastics and composites emerged as the dominant application segment in 2017, with demand estimated at over 1,000 kilo tons. Increasing product usage in molding silicones into complex shapes to enhance mechanical properties of plastics is expected to be a key factor driving the market growth over the forecast period.
Silicone additives are also widely used in manufacturing plastic components for automobiles and other transportation equipment. The ability of these products to improve surface finish and reduce friction is likely to drive their demand from this sector over the next few years. Rising use of lubricants during production activities at various silicone Additives manufacturers are anticipated to drive industry expansion over next eight years or so.
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 paints & coatings, plastics & composites, personal care products and others. China is one of the largest producers of silica gel in this region owing to its abundant reserves of raw materials.
The Asia Pacific economy is characterized by rapid industrialization along with growing population; these factors are expected to drive product demand over the forecast period. In addition, increasing foreign investments coupled with favorable government policies aimed at promoting domestic manufacturing activities are anticipated to propel regional growth during the same period.
North America emerged as a significant consumer for silicone additives due to high consumption levels from several major end-use industries including construction, automotive and electronics among others which have been witnessing healthy growth rates since last few years on account of steady economic conditions coupled with high disposable income levels among consumers in U S A.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for silicone additives in the automotive industry as a result of the growing need for fuel efficiency and emission control.
- Rising demand from end-use industries such as construction, electrical & electronics, and medical devices due to the growth in these sectors.
- Growing awareness about the benefits of silicone additives among consumers, which is resulting in an increase in their adoption across various applications.
- Technological advancements that are helping manufacturers to develop new and innovative products using silicone additives.
- The increasing popularity of green building initiatives that promote the use of sustainable materials, such as silicone additives, is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period
