Automotive Silicone Market Is Expected To Reach USD 9.47 Billion By 2025 At A CAGR 6.4% During This Forecast Period

The global automotive silicone market size was valued at USD 5.76 billion in 2017 and is projected to witness a CAGR of 6.4% from 2018 to 2025.

Automotive Silicone Industry Overview

The global automotive silicone market size was valued at USD 5.76 billion in 2017 and is projected to witness a CAGR of 6.4% from 2018 to 2025. Automotive silicones have applications in interior exterior, electrical systems, and suspension systems of vehicles. Superior characteristics of the product make it highly compatible with rubber, adhesives, sealants, and coatings, which increases their preference over other products. Increasing the production of automobiles is the key driving factor behind the growth of this market.

For instance, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the global production of commercial vehicles and cars grew at a CAGR of 2.04% from 2014 to 2017. The production increased by around 2 million units in 2017 from 2016. Automotive silicones help reduce the overall vehicular weight thereby enhancing fuel efficiency and reducing harmful emissions. Thus, strict regulations about harmful emissions are also expected to propel the growth of this market. Growing demand for electronics applications is also expected to fuel the market.

However, the high production cost of automotive silicones may cause a hindrance to market growth. Silicone rubber is extensively used in vehicle manufacturing, but it's costlier than other types of rubbers, which is also likely to hamper the market growth. Its manufacturing is an energy-intensive process and involves the use of other expensive components as well. However, its high cost is offset by low maintenance and long life. High production costs have resulted in the concentration of the market where a few key manufacturers account for a major industry share.

Also, the industry witnesses the potential threat of new entrants on account of escalating demand for the product in several applications. This makes the competitive rivalry intense in the global market. On the other hand, advancements in technology, modernization, and quick up-gradation have propelled the demand for electronic automotive assistance systems. Thus, the rising usage of these systems is likely to have a positive impact on industry expansion.
