The global Silicone in Electric Vehicles Market size is expected to reach USD 12.66 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Silicone in Electric Vehicles Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Product Type (Elastomers, Fluids, Resins, Others); By Charging Type; By Vehicle Type; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2024 - 2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The increasing in production and sales of electric vehicles is a primary driver of the market. Silicone claims a range of properties, including superior electrical insulation, thermal conductivity, chemical stability, flame retardancy, heat resistance, radiation resistance, moisture resistance, chemical resistance, and resilience to environmental factors like humidity and light. The low intermolecular force of silicone molecules contributes to their elasticity, compressibility, and temperature resistance. Compared to other rubbers, silicone offers superior temperature resistance across a broad range, withstanding temperatures up to 150°C and as low as -40°C.

The market is propelled by the growing adoption of electric vehicles and the desire for lightweight, energy-efficient vehicles. Key market trends involve the advancement of silicone materials with improved thermal conductivity and enhanced mechanical strength.

This property broadens its application potential in electric vehicles. Silicone undergoes degradation in different conditions, such as exposure to air, causing hardening, affecting its elongation, and operating under sealed conditions, due to softening due to siloxane bonding degradation.

However, the addition of a suitable curing agent before or after silicone curing can mitigate softening under hot and sealed conditions. Silicone's thermal conductivity facilitates lower operating temperatures, thereby enhancing and prolonging battery life in electric vehicles. Additionally, its thermal properties are advantageous for printed circuit board (PCB) component systems in EVs. Silicone exhibits resilience against wind, rain, UV rays, and ozone, maintaining its physical properties. Even when submerged in water or exposed to steam up to 150°C, silicone's mechanical and electrical properties remain unaffected.

These beneficial properties position silicone as a preferred material for various electric vehicle applications. The rising demand for rubber components to achieve weight reduction in the automotive industry is expected to drive the demand for silicone rubber, which imparts advantageous properties to rubber. Consequently, silicone's usage in electric vehicle components is projected to fuel market demand over the forecast period.
