Silicone Oil Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increase in demand for silicone oils for lubricants and grease manufacturing is notably driving the silicone oil market growth, although factors such as stringent regulatory policies for silicone fluids 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 silicone oil industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Silicone Oil Market Driver
- One of the key factors driving the global silicone oil market growth is the increase in demand for silicone oils for lubricants and grease manufacturing due to their excellent lubricating properties.
- The fluids have a low thermal surface tension, low volatility, and excellent shearing resistance, making them highly suitable for grease manufacturing.
- Silicone oils are mainly required to provide lubrication to steel-bronze, steel-aluminum, steel-zinc, wood-wood interfaces, and various plastics.
- The non-polar, non-reactive, and semi-inorganic structure of silicone fluids and a relatively high incompatibility with chemicals results will further increase its demand in the key end-user industries, which is expected to positively impact the silicone oil market growth during the forecast period.
Key Silicone Oil Market Trend
- Another key factor driving the global silicone oil market growth is the increasing adoption in the electrical and electronics industry.
- The use of silicone gels in printed circuit board, semiconductors, electronic control units, and LED (Light-emitting Diode) devices is increasing because of their durability and flexibility.
- It is helpful in encapsulating cable accessories in power transmission and distribution systems because of their superior electrical properties and heat stability.
- Other factors such as rapidly growing urban populations, rise in disposable income, strong supply chain, and high internet penetrations will support the global consumer electronics market, which will stimulate the silicone oil market in the forecast period.
Key Silicone Oil Market Challenge
- One of the key challenges to the global silicone oil market growth is the stringent regulatory policies for silicone fluids.
- There are no restrictions on the use of most silicone oil products. However, the use of some silicone liquid products, especially personal care and beauty products, as well as medical and health products, is regulated by certain regulatory agencies in many countries, across the globe. For instance;
- The UK competent authorities and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) have restricted using two silicone liquid products, cyclosiloxanes D4 and D5, used in the personal care and beauty industries.
- These substances are expected to be limited to a concentration of 0.1% by the weight of personal care products.
- Its use is also restricted in Canada and the US. Such stringent policies are projected to limit the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
