The global North America silicone market size is expected to reach USD 6.69 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.5% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is poised for growth due to increasing demand across multiple industries, such as automotive, construction, electronics, healthcare, and consumer goods. Silicone's versatility and wide range of applications, including sealants, adhesives, coatings, and elastomers, make it a sought-after material. In addition, the market is driven by the growing emphasis on sustainability, as silicone offers eco-friendly properties, recyclability, durability, and low toxicity.
The silicone market is expected to perform moderately owing to limited opportunities by market maturity of both manufacturing industries in general and the use of silicones. However, continuous product innovation and ongoing technological developments are expected to promote the application of silicone in emerging markets, such as electric vehicles (EVs) and health & personal care, which, in turn, is expected to fuel the market growth over the forecast period. Moreover, suppliers continue gaining market share through value-added product development and creating inroads into applications that conventionally use other materials.
In terms of product, the fluid segment's dominance is reinforced by the reliability and trust that the industry places in silicone fluids. Their resistance to extreme temperatures, chemical inertness, and low toxicity make them a preferred choice in critical applications. In addition, the ease of handling and formulation flexibility further bolster their popularity among manufacturers. Therefore, the fluid segment has firmly established itself as the go-to solution in the North America silicone industry, meeting the diverse demands of different industries and solidifying its position as the primary driver of the market's growth.
In terms of end-use, the industrial processes segment led the market in 2022, which is attributed to the remarkable properties of silicone that cater to a wide array of industrial applications. Silicone's unique characteristics, such as high thermal stability, excellent electrical insulation, and resistance to chemicals, make it highly sought-after in various industrial settings. Silicone finds extensive use in industries such as automotive, electronics, construction, and aerospace, where it serves as a crucial component in coatings, lubricants, adhesives and sealants. Its ability to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh environments makes it invaluable in industrial processes, where reliability and performance are of utmost importance.
