Silicone Resins Market Research, 2031
The global silicone resins market size was valued at $0.9 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach $1.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.4% from 2022 to 2031.
Silicone resins are composed of highly crosslinked networks with high silicon-oxygen bond energy, rendering them stable in harsh environments. Silicone resins are useful as protective coatings for a variety of environments due to their UV and thermal resistance.
Silicone resins provide a variety of advantages, including resistance to temperature and good performance, weather, heat, and chemicals. Their superior thermal stability makes them suitable for use in varnishes, paints, and other impregnating substances. In addition, they are used as release force promoters in release coatings, as water repellents in building and construction, and as adhesion promoters in sealing and bonding.
Methyl and phenyl groups, two of the most frequent types of non-reactive groups found in the siloxane chain, also influence the properties of silicone resin. Methyl groups provide releasing characteristics, increased surface hardness, and water repellency, while phenyl groups provide flexibility at high temperatures, temperature, and weathering resistance, particularly to UV-radiation and compatibility with organic compounds. Silicone resins are available in liquid and powdered forms and have applications in a variety of industries, including electrical and electronics, paints and coatings, and adhesives.
Silicone resins have numerous uses in the end-user industry. In addition, due to industrialization, silicone resins’ applications in coatings, such as automobile coating and interior floor coating, are expanding. Silicone resins are in greater demand for automotive body coverings, and this trend is projected to continue over the projection period. Due to weathering, silicone resin-based coatings offer higher heat stability and water repellency. Also, utilized in situations requiring UV-radiation resistance and high-temperature compatibility. Industrial application demand is anticipated to increase at a rapid rate throughout the projection period.
However, the U.S. and Canadian emission objectives focus on reducing greenhouse gases. The U.S has committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50-52% below 2005 levels by the year 2030. More rigorous regulations in the U.S and Canada will hurt the demand for silicone resins across industries. Companies active in the global silicone resins market are increasing their participation in a variety of strategic alliances, acquisitions, collaborations, and mergers.
