Global Silicone Elastomers MarketPosted by Nishigandha Sachin Bhushinge on March 9th, 2020 Global Silicone Elastomers Market was valued US$ XX Bn in 2018 and is expected to reach US$ XX Bn by 2026, at CAGR of 6.41% during forecast period. The major driver of global silicone elastomers market is superior properties of silicone elastomers which includes high thermal conductivity, low flammability, UV resistance, easy to fabricate or process. Also, increasing demand for silicone elastomers from the electrical & electronics industries is estimated to hold the largest share during the forecast period. However, fluctuating prices of raw materials are estimated to hamper the growth of the global silicone elastomers market over the forecast period. Increasing demand for antimicrobial silicone elastomers from the healthcare sector is expected to create lucrative growth opportunities of players operating in the global silicone elastomers market On the basis of the end-use industry segment, global Silicone elastomers market are extensively used in the healthcare industry, because of their versatility, low surface tension, biocompatibility, high permeability, and pressure-sensitive properties. The growing aging population, worldwide, along with the rising awareness about health concerns drive the healthcare industry. The use of silicone elastomers in dental and surgical devices, diagnostics and imaging, fluid and drug delivery devices, scar management, laboratory accessories, wound drains and bulbs, dialysis O-rings, and sterilization mats also drive the global silicone elastomers market in the healthcare end-use industry. Based on the Process segment, Liquid injection molding involves extruding un-vulcanized preform rubber through a cylinder into a closed heated mold. It has a low per-part production price, and high production rates are attainable. The process needs short molding cycles and does not need preform preparation or trimming with the correct mold design. LSR products such as gaskets, O-rings, and over-molded parts are manufactured using the liquid injection molding process. Since a lot of industries are utilizing automated processing techniques nowadays, the liquid injection molding process segment is expected to grow at a higher rate. In terms of region, the APAC silicone elastomers market can be attributed to the easy availability of cheap labor and raw materials, which have led to significant foreign investments in the region.
