Global Organosilicon Polymers (Polysiloxane) Market Overview
The Global Organosilicon Polymers (Polysiloxane) Market size is expected to grow from USD 1.78 billion in 2023 to USD 2.62 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 4.40% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
Polysiloxanes having the general formula (–R2Si–O–) n, also referred to as silicone polymers or polyorganosiloxanes, are composed of a backbone with alternate silicon and oxygen atoms while two organic alternatives are linked to each silicon atom. Silicone polymers or poly-dialkyl siloxanes are an important class of inorganic polymers that find several industrial applications. The primary reason for their great popularity is their outstanding temperature and oxidative stability, very good low-temperature flexibility, and high resistance to weathering and many chemicals. I addition, these polymers are also capable of wetting most surfaces owing to their low surface tension. Polydimethylsiloxanes have a low surface tension in the range of 20 to 25 mN/m and therefore can wet most surfaces. With the methyl groups located on the outside, silicones generate very hydrophobic films. Owing to the large free volume, most gases have a high solubility and high diffusion coefficient in silicones.
That is, silicones have a high absorptivity to oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor, even if in this case liquid water is not capable of wetting the silicone surface! As expected, silicone flexibility is also high. With all the various characteristics of polysiloxanes come a variety of applications, both medical and non-medical. Moreover, numerous favorable characteristics are known and usable, this polymer is a popular candidate for various applications. The medical applications include prostheses, artificial organs, artificial skin, catheters, facial reconstruction, contact lenses, and drug delivery systems while the non-medical applications include high-performance elastomers, membranes, electrical insulators, water repellants, anti-foaming agents, mold release agents, adhesives, and protective coatings, release control agents for agricultural chemicals, and hydraulic, heat-transfer, and dielectric fluids which leads to growth of the organosilicon polymer (polysiloxane) market during the forecast period.
Market Dynamics and Factors:
Drivers:
Growing Utilization of Polysiloxane in Paints and Coatings Application
Rail, roads, bridges, public parks, etc., are all subjected to continuous utmost conditions. Polysiloxane coatings offer corrosion protection, high-temperature protection, and fire protection to ensure the long-lasting and aesthetics of the building structures. In railways, mild steel remains the first choice of metal for constructional purposes, owing to its relatively low cost, mechanical strength, and ease of fabrication. The main drawback of the application of this metal is that it corrodes easily in extreme weather conditions. Without creditably protected it rapidly loses strength, which may result in structural failure. Therefore, polysiloxane coatings (which have anti-corrosive properties) are used to the exterior of the rails.
Application in Construction Sector
The foremost factor favoring the growth of the organosilicon Polymers (Polysiloxane) Market is the high requirements from application in the construction sector and from the increasing automotive industry, which is preferring for cleaner and greener material sources due to the strict regulations on emission, especially from the US, EU countries, India, China, and other Southeast Asian countries. They are also applied highly in the application of coatings for protective and industrial purposes. These compounds are also extensively applied as fire retardants in various materials.
Non-Medical Application
Polysiloxanes are superiors for non-medical applications as well. For instance, the polymer is hydrophobic and is a good water repellant, as well as being slippery so other substances will not stick to it either. Also, since it is permeable to gases while being impermeable to particles, it is a good protective coating. The bonding is strong and so the polymer can be utilized as a good adhesive as well. These three applications are also improved due to the flexibility of the polymer. Since it can bend and twist, there won't be as much cracking and chipping going on in the application which leads to the growth of the organosilicon polymer (polysiloxane) market over the forecast period.
Restraints:
The pitfall of using the polysiloxanes includes difficulty in lengthening the working time of products without retarders and a high surface tension making it difficult to get the impression when pouring up a stone cast. Furthermore, the tensile strength, hardness, and tear strength properties are very poor in silicone rubber, making them less reliable to produce high-quality products are factors hampering the growth of the organosilicon polymer (polysiloxane) market in the projected period.
Opportunities:
Market Segmentation
Segmentation for the Organosilicon Polymer (Polysiloxane) Market:
Based on the type, the silicone rubber segment is expected to register the maximum organosilicon polymer (polysiloxane) market share during the forecast period. The silicone rubber is majorly applied in external materials because it has strong weather resistance, thermal oxidation stability, and electrical qualities. Silicone rubber's hydrophobic characteristic defense impurities and droplets from adhering to its surface, allowing it to be utilized as an anti-sticking coating. As a result, silicone rubber has numerous applications in national security, construction, manufacturing, healthcare, and everyday life.
Based on the application, the coatings segment is expected to dominate the organosilicon polymer (polysiloxane)market during the forecast period. Coatings are prepared from polymers, metals, or ceramics and glasses. Polymers have the general significance of lower material and processing costs, and simpler deposition techniques. Considering these characteristics, silicon-based polymers stand out as coating materials. Coatings based on these compounds have a higher thermal stability and chemical resistance when compared to most organic coatings. Furthermore, they are increasingly utilized in the automotive and construction industries.
Regional Analysis for the Organosilicon Polymer (Polysiloxane) Market:
The Asia Pacific is expected to dominate the Organosilicon Polymer (Polysiloxane) market during the forecast period. In various economies such as China and India, high investments are being made for industrial growth and development. Due to its large production base of adhesives & sealants, medical devices, electronics, and elastomers, China holds the major share in the Asia-Pacific segment. The growth in various end-user industries, continuous investments, and support from the regional governments are anticipated to turn the Asia-Pacific segment of the polysiloxane market during the forecast period. Moreover, China has the global highest electronics production base. Electronic products, such as smartphones, OLED TVs, wires, cables, and tablets, registered the highest growth in the electronics segment. The country not only serves the domestic demand for electronics but also exports electronic output to other countries. Due to the growth in the disposable incomes of the middle-class population in China and the growing demand for electronic products in the countries that import electronic products from China, the production of electronics is projected to grow further during the forecast period.
North America is expected to hold a considerable organosilicon polymer (polysiloxane) market share during the forecast period. The significant presence of end-use industries in the region is contributing to the maximum share of the Organosilicon Polymer (Polysiloxane) market in North America.

The new ecoflex® F Blend C1200 BMB had a 60% lower Product Carbon Footprint compared to the standard ecoflex® grade. In this approach, fossil-based feedstocks were replaced with renewable alternatives from waste-based feedstocks and attributed to the product via a certified biomass balance (BMB) method.
- In January 2024, DIC Corporation announced the development of DIC.PPS MP-6060 BLACK, a plateable polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) compound, in collaboration with Japanese firms Tsukada Riken Industry Co., Ltd., and Yoshino Denka Kogyo, Inc. Combining the newly developed compound with plating technologies will enable the mass production of electroless & electro-plated super engineering plastic PPS on existing plastic-plating production lines without the need for a special etching process.
