Segments - Automotive Silicone Market by Applications (Electrical, Interior & Exterior, Engines, and Others), Types (Fluids, Elastomers, Resins, and Gels), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2022 – 2030
The global automotive silicone market size was valued at USD 2.3 billion in 2021, is estimated to surpass USD 3.1 billion by 2030 and expanding at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period, 2021–2030. The growth of the market is attributed to the rising demand for automotive silicone from several businesses.
Automotive silicone is a heat-resistant, rubber-like polymer that is used in the production of adhesives, sealants, lubricants, and thermal and electrical insulation. Durability, strength, resistance, and UV resistance are some of its characteristics. Silicone is also the preferred material for the automobile sector because to its chemical and abrasion resistance. Gaskets for automobile engines, gearboxes are made from sheet silicone. Recent technical breakthroughs have made it possible to combine silicone with thermoplastics, to increase scratch and mar resistance while lowering the coefficient of friction. Silicone rubber cable and other silicone compounds are used as airbag coatings and sealants. Silicone rubber's exceptional strength makes it an ideal adhesive/sealant for high-impact airbags.
The fast spread of coronavirus has a significant influence on global market. The whole consumer market has suddenly lost interest in acquiring any items due to severe shutdown. One of the big challenges that various sector experiencing is the closure of all types of international transportation. The market for automotive silicone has slowed due to supply chain disruption.

On the basis of applications, the automotive silicone market is segmented into electrical, interior & exterior, engines, and others. The engines segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period. Silicone is utilized as a coating on these gaskets to keep them from clinging to other metal elements of the engine and to promote cold sealing. The interior & exterior segment is anticipated to account for a major market share during the forecast period, as automotive silicone provides heat resistance, cold resistance, and water repellency.
Based on types, the market is divided into fluids, elastomers, resins, and gels. The fluids segment is expected to hold a significant share of the market in the coming years. Silicone fluids are polydimethylsiloxane oils with varying degrees of polymerization and consequently viscosity. Fluid silicone provides low temperature flexibility and aging resistance. The elastomers segment accounts for a significant market share. Silicone elastomers are a class of heat-stable, elastic silicone materials that are used for electrical insulation in the form of sheet, wire, tape, and extruded sleeving, cable coverings, and moldings.
In terms of regions, the automotive silicone market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the forecast period, owing to availability of low-cost raw materials and labor. The market in North America is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period, due to increasing domestic demand for automobiles in the region.
