Silicone adhesives are versatile bonding agents derived from silicone polymers, recognized for their flexibility, durability, and resistance to extreme temperatures. These adhesives create strong seals and bonds on a wide variety of surfaces, including metal, plastic, glass, and ceramics. They are commonly utilized in the automotive, electronics, and construction industries due to their resistance to moisture, chemicals, and UV light.
The primary types of silicone adhesives are one-component and two-component. One-component silicone adhesives are ready to use without requiring any mixing. The technologies associated with these adhesives include pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) and non-pressure-sensitive adhesives (non-PSA). They cater to a diverse range of end-users, including those in building and construction, transportation, medical, electrical, electronics, and other sectors.

The expansion of the construction industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the silicone adhesives market in the future. The construction industry encompasses the planning, design, building, and maintenance of structures, including residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. It employs various trades and technologies to create safe and functional environments. The growth of this industry is fueled by urbanization, rising population demands, and government investments in infrastructure projects, leading to a need for new buildings, roads, and facilities that support economic development and enhance living standards. Silicone adhesives are favored in construction for their excellent flexibility, weather resistance, and strong bonding capabilities, making them ideal for sealing joints and bonding different building materials. For instance, in August 2024, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported that total building work amounted to $33,815.0 million in June 2024, an increase from $32,443.2 million in June 2022. Thus, the expansion of the construction industry is a key driver for the growth of the silicone adhesives market.
Companies in the silicone adhesives market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as soft elastomeric silicone adhesives for medical device adhesion. Soft elastomeric silicone adhesive is a flexible, cushioning adhesive designed for gentle yet durable bonding, commonly used in medical, electronic, and wearable applications due to its soft, skin-friendly properties. For example, in February 2023, DuPont de Nemours, Inc., a US-based chemical company, introduced the Liveo MG 7-9960 Soft Skin Adhesive. This silicone-based adhesive is designed for medical applications, providing gentle adhesion for sensitive skin, high flexibility, and long wearability, making it suitable for wound care, wearable devices, and other medical tapes. Additionally, it offers moisture management to reduce skin irritation.
In June 2024, Wacker Chemie AG, a Germany-based company that develops, manufactures, and markets therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) assays, acquired Bio Med Sciences Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enhances Wacker Chemie AG's portfolio in the medical adhesives sector, enabling greater innovation and a wider range of product offerings. Bio Med Sciences Inc. is a US-based provider of silicone adhesives.
