Silicones: United States

Silicones: United States


This report forecasts to 2028 silicone demand in metric tons in the US. Total demand is segmented by product in terms of: fluids; elastomers; resins; and gels, foams, and pastes. Total demand is also segmented by market as follows: transportation; construction; personal care; chemicals and plastics; medical and healthcare; electronic products; and other markets such as electrical products and consumer products.

To illustrate historical trends, total demand is provided in annual series from 2013 to 2023; the various segments are reported at five-year intervals for 2013, 2018, and 2023.

Silicones – polymers of silicon and oxygen – are a class of materials that encompass a wide array of products and applications. To avoid double counting, silicone demand is determined at the producer level and includes only basic products such as elastomers, fluids, resins, and gels. Siloxanes used as silicone products themselves (as in personal care product formulations) are also included. Foam control agents used in foam insulation are included in the chemicals – rather than the construction – market.

Excluded from the scope of this report are: downstream formulated silicone products such as adhesives, sealants, lubricants, defoamers, and molded rubber goods; siloxanes used as raw materials for silicones, although siloxanes used as silicone products themselves (as in personal care products) are included; silanes, including chlorosilane intermediates and silane coupling agents, which are not defined as silicone polymers; and fluids used as intermediates in the production of other silicone product types, including gels, elastomers, and resins.

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
