The liquid silicone rubber (LSR) market is poised for steady growth, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9% from 2023 to 2033. As demand for versatile, high-performance materials increases across various industries, including automotive, healthcare, electronics, and consumer goods, the market is expected to surpass a valuation of USD 10.1 billion by 2033. LSR’s unique properties, such as its durability, temperature resistance, and biocompatibility, are driving its widespread adoption in applications like medical devices, automotive seals, and electronics components, further boosting its market prospects over the next decade.
The liquid silicone rubbers are equipped with the ability to perform under a wide range of temperatures, ranging from -50 0C to 165 0C. Owing to this, these are majorly used in the aviation industry. Furthermore, these also display excellent resistance to chemicals. Thus, they find application in procedures in the medical sector, including ENT, heart surgery, etc.
Liquid silicone rubber is witnessing massive demand in the automobile and automotive sectors as well. The ability to provide a superior compression set and to act as a gloss enhancer is expected to surge their application. The silicone rubbers also work as a dampening medium for the instruments in vehicles. The significant surge in demand for electric vehicles represents massive scope for the market. These are being used in power transmission equipment owing to their heat stability.
Surging electronics sector presents lucrative opportunities for the market. Silicone is believed to be the heart of the electronics industry as it assists in encapsulating a bulky circuit into a miniaturized system. The liquid silicone rubbers protect the electronic circuits from shock, heat, and various forms of contaminants. These are also employed in critical electronic components like transistors, capacitors, and tubes in electronic devices.
The injection moulding market also makes use of liquid silicone rubbers. This can be attributed to the fact that these silicone rubbers offer high shelf life and provide electrical resistance as well.
Thus, the FMI researchers are of the opinion that the ability to work under extreme conditions, coupled with electrical resistance offered, growth of the electronics sector and a number of other factors, are expected to surge the liquid silicone rubber market growth during the forecast period.
