Report Overview

Silicones: Mexico forecasts demand in metric tons in Mexico, with total demand segmented by product and market. Total demand is provided in annual series from 2013 to 2023, with a forecast for 2028; the various segments are reported at five-year intervals for 2013, 2018, 2023, and 2028. Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. 

Product Segments:

• fluids
• elastomers
• resins
• gels, foams, and pastes

Market Segments:

• transportation
• construction
• electrical products
• chemicals and plastics
• electronic products
• other markets such as personal care, medical and healthcare, and consumer

Exclusions:

• downstream formulated 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 products) 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

Clarifications:
Silicones – polymers of silicon and oxygen – are a class of materials that encompass a wide array of products and applications. To avoid double counting, silicone demand is determined at the producer level and includes only basic products such as elastomers, fluids, resins, and gels. 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.
