Siloxanes Production Cost Analysis

Report Overview:

Siloxanes are a functional group in organosilicon chemistry that consist of oligomeric and polymeric hydrides. They comprise the backbone of organic side chains and alternating silicon-oxygen [Si-O] units attached to each silicon atom. Siloxanes are characterized as linear or cyclic volatile methyl siloxanes, polyethermethyl siloxanes (PEMS), and polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS). They offer various advantages, such as high flexibility, permeability to gases, and moisture resistance. Additionally, siloxanes are highly stable and inert substances and have optimum lubrication properties. They can take a variety of physical forms ranging from semi-viscous pastes to solids, liquids, and oils, due to which they are witnessing a significant demand to manufacture oils, soaps, shampoos, surfactants, and pharmaceutical products. Besides this, siloxanes are used in sealants, plastics, cosmetics, adhesives, coatings, and hygiene products, as they are the building blocks for silicone products. Currently, they are witnessing extensive applications across the telecommunication, automotive, and chemical industries.

The increasing application of siloxanes as an oil substitute for low-calorie food products across the food and beverage (F&B) industry represents one of the key factors accelerating the market growth. Moreover, the low surface tension, good spreading power, high surface activity, chemical inertness, and thermal stability properties of siloxane have surged its usage in antifoams, emulsions, and pastes, which is providing a considerable boost to the market growth. Siloxane is also used as a waterproof sealant in bathrooms and window fittings, thus acting as another growth-inducing factor. In line with this, key market players are investing heavily in advanced technologies to introduce new product variants to increase their consumer base, which is creating a positive outlook for the market. Apart from this, easy product availability and rising construction activities are positively contributing to the market growth. Other factors, such as the rapidly expanding cosmetic industry, increasing research and development (R&D) activities, and the surging product application in the personal care sector as a solvent for hair and skin care products, are boosting the market growth.
