Global Silicone Market is valued approximately USD 12.6 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 10.7 % over the forecast period 2020-2027. Silicone are produced via reaction between and methyl chloride and treating the reaction-product with water and are high-performance specialty polymers consisting of siloxane. It has various properties such as low chemical reactivity, low thermal conductivity, low toxicity, thermal stability, water repelling forming watertight seals, adheres very well with glass, microbiological growth resistance, resistance to oxygen, ozone, and ultraviolet (UV) light, electrical insulation properties, and high gas permeability. The global silicone market is facing challenges due to COVID-19 as suspension of production due to the lowered demand, supply chain bottlenecks, and to protect the safety of various employees. The superior properties of silicone and high demand for silicone in the electronics industry are the few factors responsible for growth of the market over the forecast period. Further, the introduction of products and services along with other strategic alliance by the market players will create a lucrative demand for the market. For Instance: in September 2019, Elkem ASA launched SILCOLEASE POLY 600 series, a new solvent-free polymer specially designed to give excellent performances on demanding high-speed labeling applications. However, stringent regulatory policies for silicone is the major factor restraining the growth of global Silicone market during the forecast period.
