Silicone Market Expansion Drivers: What’s Shaping Future Growth?
The anticipated expansion of the automobile sector is projected to propel the silicon (except resins) market in the future. This sector encompasses businesses and institutions engaged in the design, production, marketing, and sale of vehicles. Silicones are utilized in the manufacturing of engine gaskets, seals, and hoses. These components must withstand high temperatures, pressure, and exposure to various chemicals, making silicones ideal due to their excellent heat resistance and durability. For instance, the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), a US-based trade organization, reported 13.7 million new light-vehicle sales in the United States in January 2023, with 14.6 million new light-vehicle sales expected in 2023, representing a 6.6% increase over 2022 predictions. Consequently, the growth in the automobile sector is fostering the development of the silicon market.
