Global Methyl Phenyl Silicone Rubber Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

Methyl phenyl silicone rubber (PMPS) is a type of special silicone rubber obtained by ring-opening copolymerization of methylphenyl cyclosiloxane and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane. The introduction of phenyl groups has improved the mechanical properties of silicone rubber. The wide temperature range, high damping, radiation resistance and high and low temperature resistance make it have important applications in high-end manufacturing fields, such as aviation and aerospace damping and sealing.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Methyl Phenyl Silicone Rubber market finds that the global Methyl Phenyl Silicone Rubber market reached a value of USD 63.67 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 87.63 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.47% during the forecast period.

High technical barriers

Unlike ordinary silicone rubber, Methyl Phenyl Silicone Rubber has very strict requirements on the production process, so the technical barriers to the industry are very high. At present, industry-leading companies have their own technology research and development teams, and most industry participants also cooperate with universities to conduct product research and development. Therefore, for potential entrants who want to enter the product segmentation field, there is a higher requirement to overcome technical barriers. In addition, the product development process usually takes a long time and requires a large amount of investment. For players in the industry, continuous technological advancement can make them continue to operate in the market.

Higher application barriers

Methyl Phenyl Silicone Rubber has a limited range of applications. Limited by product prices, many downstream buyers will choose low-cost alternatives because they cannot afford the cost. Therefore, Methyl Phenyl Silicone Rubber is mainly used in military, aerospace and other fields. On the other hand, limited by technology, the current production capacity is not large, so the relationship between supply and demand is basically stable. In a short time, the product cannot achieve a large amount of production, so potential downstream applications will not be greatly improved.

Widening of downstream applications

The introduction of phenyl has given silicone rubber high damping, ablation resistance, radiation resistance and other properties. Combined with the formulation technology, methylphenyl silicone rubber has shown good performance in the fields of damping, high temperature resistance, radiation resistance and thermal insulation. Application performance. With the expansion of the production scale of methyl phenyl silicone rubber and the effective reduction of cost, its application space will be wider. At the same time, phenyl silicone rubber has excellent char formation properties. When combined with inorganic fillers, it can prepare an oxygen-rich and ablation-resistant insulation material. It is used for adiabatic protection of rocket engines. At the same time, a certain elongation is maintained. In addition, phenyl silicone rubber has potential applications in refractory boards and cables.
