Coherent Market Insights released a report on the silicone resins market.
Silicone resins is a type of silicone material that is formed by cage-like oligosiloxanes and branched with the formula RnSiXmOy. The silicone resins produce films which have properties include heat resistance, dielectric properties and weatherability. It is used in end-use industry include paints and coatings, construction where silicone resins are used to improve safety, reliability, and durability.
Market Outlook
Among end-use industry, paint and coating segment held a significant market share in the global silicone resins market in 2017, owing to increasing demand for silicone resins in the coatings industry. Physical properties of silicon resin such as heat resistance, flexibility, anti-corrosion, and electrical insulation propel demand for silicone resins in the paint and coating industry. For instance, according to the Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, the global paints and coatings market was valued at $137.25 billion and 46,686.09 kilotons in 2016 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 5.6 percent in terms of revenue and 4.8 percent in terms of volume during 2017-2025.
North America held a significant position in the global silicone resins market in 2017 and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period due to the demand for silicone resin from end-use industry. In North America, demand for silicone resins increased owing to benefits offered by silicone resins include heat resistance, thermal stability, increased weathering, electrical insulation binder driving the silicone resins market in North America. Furthermore, key players are focusing on capacity expansion to build business in silicone resins market at a global level. For instance, In September 2018, the Dow Chemical Company announced the construction of new silicon resin plant to expand its global capacity and meet the increasing demand of the silicone in end-use industries worldwide.
