Global Automotive Silicone Market Size Study & Forecast, By Type (Elastomers, Resins, Gels, Others), By Application (Interior and Exterior, Engines, Electrical Systems, Others), and Regional Analysis, 2023-2030
Global Automotive Silicone Market is valued at approximately USD XX billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than XX% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Automotive silicone is a type of silicone material specifically designed for use in automotive applications. Silicone itself is a versatile polymer made primarily of silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. Silicone can withstand high temperatures without degrading, making it suitable for parts exposed to engine heat. Also, it remains flexible across a wide temperature range, allowing it to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction in engine components. Moreover, the growing demand for lightweight materials in automobiles, rising vehicle production, and growing automotive aftermarket are anticipated to create a lucrative demand for the market during the forecast period 2023-2030.
Additionally, growing global demand for automobiles, particularly in emerging markets, is driving the need for automotive silicone. As vehicle production increases, so does the demand for silicone-based components such as seals, gaskets, and hoses. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, in 2020 the number of passenger cars produced in China was 19994081 units and the number reached 21407962 units in 2021. Also, according to the same source, in 2021 the number of cars and commercial vehicles manufactured was 288235 and 826767 respectively and the number increased significantly and reached 289371 and 939364 in 2022. As a result, the rising vehicle production is anticipated to create a lucrative demand for the market. Moreover, the growing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles and technological advancements in silicone products are anticipated to create a lucrative opportunity for the market. However, the fluctuating raw material prices and supply chain challenges in the automotive silicone market stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Automotive Silicone Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 owing to the increasing demand for electric vehicles, growing automotive manufacturing, increasing consumer awareness of safety and comfort features, and rising demand for electric and hybrid vehicles. Whereas the Asia Pacific is expected to grow with the fastest growth rate during the forecast period, owing to factors such as rising automotive production, stringent emission regulations, growing demand for electric vehicles, and growing expansion of automotive manufacturing facilities in the region.
