Market Overview:
The global silicone foam market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for silicone foam in various applications such as transport, petrochemical, electronic and others. In terms of type, sheet segment is expected to dominate the global silicone foam market during the forecast period owing to its properties such as high thermal insulation and acoustic insulation.
Product Definition:
Silicone foam is a synthetic rubber material that is composed of silicone, carbon, and hydrogen. It has a wide variety of applications, including insulation, seals and gaskets, medical implants and prostheses, and electrical insulation. Silicone foam is important because it is durable, versatile, and resistant to heat and chemicals.
Sheet:
Sheet is a thin panel, made from a flexible material like plastic or metal. It can be cut to any shape and size. The most common types of sheets are the ones used in packaging applications such as food trays and disposable plates & cups; these are available in various sizes ranging from 5mm to 500mm thickness.
Tube:
The tube is a hollow cylindrical shape made up of silica, also known as silicon dioxide. It is the most important raw material used in the production of polyurethane (PU) foams. Polyurethane foam produced from synthetic or natural silica usually contains around 60% to 70% volume share for tubes and they are widely utilized across various end-use industries including automotive, construction, furniture & bedding and packaging among others.
Application Insights:
The electronic application segment led the global market in 2017. The product is widely used in the electronics industry owing to its properties, such as high impact resistance and low dielectric constant, which enhance the signal transmission. These properties also make it suitable for use in electrical insulation of wires and cables. Other than electronic applications, these products are also used in transport equipment and packaging applications.
Petrochemical was the second-largest application segment of silicone foam with a market share of 17% in 2017 due to increasing demand for silicones from various end-use industries including construction materials, automotive & transportation equipment manufacturing and medical devices manufacturing 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 the region can be attributed to rising product demand from end-use industries such as electronics, automotive, packaging, and construction. In addition, increasing foreign investments coupled with favorable government policies are anticipated to drive industry expansion over the next eight years.
The growing manufacturing sector in China owing to low labor costs has attracted multinational companies such as Toyota Motor Corporation; Nissan Motors Ltd.; Honda Motor Co., Ltd.; Mazda Motor Corp.; Mitsubishi Heavy Industries; SuzukiMotor Corporation; Isuzu Motors Ltd., among others that have established their production plants in China thereby driving product demand across various applications.
