Europe Liquid Silicone Rubber Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis – by Grade (Food, Medical, and Industrial) and End Users (Healthcare, Automotive, Consumer Goods, Electricals and Electronics, and Others)
The liquid silicone rubber market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 23,127.33 million in 2022 to US$ 33,579.15 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2022 to 2028.
Rising Demand for Silicone Rubber in Automotive Industry
The automotive sector has witnessed tremendous growth in the last decade and is expected to rise steadily during the forecast period. However, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the sector's growth from 2020 to 2021 due to several factors, such as nationwide lockdowns and a decline in investments. However, the industry is expected to gradually gain its growth rate same as before the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic by FY 2022–2023. The ease of travel restrictions rises in transportation activities, and mass vaccination program in 2021 have aided the automotive industry, thus fueling automobile sales. Further, as per the report of OICA, the automotive industry has shown positive growth of over ~5% in 2021 compared to 2020. With increasing regulatory pressure on improving the fuel efficiency of vehicles and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, there has been a remarkable development in lightweight components for automotive industry. The components manufactured from liquid silicone rubber are lightweight and helps in increasing fuel efficiency. Liquid silicone rubber reduces carbon dioxide and nitrogen emission which are air pollutants. The final standards will significantly reduce GHG emissions and other criteria pollutants, which will lead to substantial public health and welfare benefits while providing consumers with savings from lower fuel costs. Thus, the growing automotive industry and stringent government policies on reducing greenhouse gas emissions are driving the market for liquid silicone rubber across region.
Market Overview
