The global siliconesmarket wasvalued at around US$ 13,700 Mn in 2017 and is anticipated to expand at a CAGRof more than 5.0% from 2018 to 2026, according to a new report by TransparencyMarket Research (TMR) titled ‘SiliconesMarket – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast,2018–2026.’ Silicones can be defined as a family ofhigh-performance specialty materials. These polymers with large moleculesconsist of many repeated sub-units. Silicones are used in a wide range ofindustries due to their favorable physical and chemical properties. Forinstance, they are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, cold, heat, moisture,and several chemicals. They also provide insulation and long-term elasticity.
MarketDriven by Rise in Manufacture of Electric and Electronic Products in AsiaPacific
Severalcountries in Asia Pacific are leading manufacturers and exporters of electricand electronic products. China’s share of the global export of Information andCommunication Technology (ICT) goods stands at approximately 31%. Electronicproducts account for more than 50% share of exports in the Philippines.Electric machinery and equipment rank among the top exports of Thailand.Malaysia’s manufacturing efforts are focused on the semiconductor ecosystem.Production of electronics and hardware is still at the nascent stage in India.On the other hand, Indonesia is a major consumer of electric and electronicproducts in ASEAN. Silicones are primarily employed in products such astelevision sets, refrigerators, and mobile phones. Silicones is used in theseproducts in the form of fluids, elastomers, and resins.

UncertaintiesAssociated with Raw Material Supply Adversely Affect Long-term Growth ofSilicones Market
Supplyand prices of raw materials of silicones depend upon several factors such ascurrency exchange rates, environment protection measures, and energy costs.China is an important manufacturer and provider of raw materials in thesilicones market. However, often, market players based in the country areunable to meet the environment protection regulations. Hence, they need tofrequently stop production during government investigation and restart it onceit is over. This creates temporary shortage of raw materials in the market,resulting in increased prices. Companies manufacturing silicones bear someportion of increased raw material prices, while the rest is passed on tocustomers. However, these shortages of raw materials and associated rise inprices of silicones are difficult to predict. As a result, siliconemanufacturers are unable to take pre-emptive actions or secure themselvesagainst the shortage of supply. This adversely affects the ability of siliconemanufacturers to plan for long-term.

TopFew Players Account for Nearly 50% Share of Global Silicones Market
Keyplayers operating in the global silicones market include Wacker Chemie AG,DowDuPont, Momentive Performance Materials Inc., Evonik Industries, andShin-Etsu Chemical Co. Ltd. These companies constitute around 50% share of themarket. Local and regional players in various countries capture the rest ofmarket share. Companies are focusing on expanding their geographical footprintthrough organic sales, distribution channels, and e-commerce.
In coming years,as the debate on the potential impact of the chemical manufacturing acrossindustries on the ecology gets fiercer, new monitoring technologies willemerge. Latest compliance regulations will expand the scope of greenchemistries for businesses in the downstream value chain. Further,manufacturers in the market will increasingly leverage digital channels toreach high-value customers. Many will use them to avoid disruption such as bypandemics.
Anassortment of analytics technologies will help in augmenting the commercialproductivity. However, until now, the pace of adoption of digital technologiesin the overall chemicals industry has been relatively slow. It thus remains tobe seen how far the players in the market will be able to unlock long-termproductivity benefits of AI-driven management of various business functions,particularly research and development and production.
