Prime determinants influencing the industry’s expansion

The silicone industry is gaining momentum due to a rise in the adoption of waterborne coatings and a surge in demand for construction and infrastructure developments. However, the high costs of silicone products hamper the industry's growth to some extent. Nevertheless, growing demand from the food and beverage packaging industry is projected to offer ample opportunities for the expansion of the landscape in the future.  

Trend analysis for upgrading product portfolio

Advancements in adhesives and silicone sealants: Traditional adhesives and sealants face challenges with adhesion failure, temperature resistance, and flexibility in tough conditions. To address these issues, startups are developing silicone-based adhesives and sealants that improve performance. These silicone-based products offer superior adhesion, endure extreme temperatures, and remain flexible without cracking. As a result, they are effective solutions for demanding applications in industries such as renewable energy, aerospace, and aviation, where high performance is essential.  

Development of functional silicone coatings: Innovative solutions such as UV-curable silicone release systems and nano silicone wax coatings are developed to deal with issues related to curing mechanisms and the durability of silicone coatings. These advanced coatings provide efficient curing, ensure durable and uniform finishes, and offer added benefits like antimicrobial properties or enhanced UV resistance.
