Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The growing demand for fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles is notably driving the automotive silicones market growth, although factors such as fluctuations in raw material prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the automotive silicones market industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Automotive Silicones Market Driver
The growing demand for fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles is one of the key drivers supporting the automotive silicones market growth. There has been an increasing demand for EVs due to the growing consensus among governments and consumers to reduce emissions. This, in turn, will drive the demand for EVs during the forecast period. Moreover, the use of silicones for producing automobile components contributes significantly to vehicle weight reduction, thereby ensuring improved fuel efficiency and low emissions of pollutants such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur dioxide. For instance, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that a 10% reduction in vehicle weight increases fuel economy by 5%-7%. Thus, the growing environmental concerns and rising focus on sustainability for fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles will contribute to the growth of the automotive silicones market.
Key Automotive Silicones Market Trend
Increasing demand for silicone adhesive films for car customization is one of the key automotive silicones market trends fueling the market growth. Silicones are expected to play a major role in facilitating the adhesion of films and wrappings on vehicles during the forecast period. They display excellent bonding properties and ensure that the films are bonded well with the surface. Silicones are basically versatile materials and can be used for removing and dissolving tough adhesives from vehicles. Moreover, they can be used for creating full or partial car coverings. Silicone films can stretch up to 40% beyond their original size and can be molded to fit snugly around curves, providing a perfect finish with no bubbles or wrinkles. As a result, car owners can customize their vehicles without re-coating. Such factors will fuel the automotive silicones market growth during the forecast period.
Key Automotive Silicones Market Challenge
Fluctuations in raw material prices is one of the limitations hindering the automotive silicones market growth. Silicon metal is a key raw material used for producing automotive silicones. The manufacturing of all types of silicones requires polymers that are mainly derived from crude oil. Thus, the market depends heavily on the oil and gas industry. Meanwhile, the cost of energy required for manufacturing automotive silicones, transportation charges, and the cost of secondary materials are rising. For instance, in 2020, Wacker Chemie proposed to increase the price of silicones, silicone polymers, and silicone fluids due to an increase in the cost of raw materials and energy used in manufacturing process. Thus, the fluctuating prices of raw materials can hamper the growth of the global automotive silicones market during the forecast period.
