Silicone Fluids: Global Report

Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2030 global demand for silicone fluids by function, market, and major world region in metric tons. Function segments include lubricants and greases, defoamers, emollients and conditioning agents, adhesives and sealants, other functions such as surfactants, paint and coatings, and polishes
Reported markets encompass chemicals and plastics, personal care, construction, transportation equipment, other markets such as electrical products, electronic products, and medical and healthcare
Major world regions include North America, Western Europe, Asia/Pacific, and all other regions.
To illustrate historical trends, world, function, market, and regional demand are provided for 2019 and 2025.
For the purposes of this report, silicones are defined as polymers of silicon and oxygen. To avoid double counting, silicone demand is determined at the producer level and includes only fluids (including both basic siloxane fluids and more specialized products such as emulsions, organically functionalized fluids, and fluorosilicone fluids).
Siloxanes used as silicone products themselves (as in personal care product formulations) are also included. Foam control agents used in foam insulation are included in the chemicals – rather than the construction – market.
Excluded are downstream silicone products such as adhesives, sealants, lubricants, defoamers, and molded rubber goods; siloxanes used as raw materials for silicones, although siloxanes used as silicone products themselves (as in personal care product formulations) are included silanes, including chlorosilane intermediates and silane coupling agents, which are not defined as silicone polymers; fluids used as intermediates in the production of other silicone product types, including gels, elastomers, and resins
Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
