Key Market Trends

Elastomers to be the Largest Segment for Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Market

PDMS is a nontoxic dimethyl silicone-based oil with an ultrahigh molecular weight, low viscosity, and unique flow properties that lend it to widespread applications. It is easy to mold, even when blended in with the cross-linking agent, it stays fluid at room temperature for a long time. It can shape mold structures at high resolutions.

• Polydimethylsiloxane is broadly utilized as a siloxane-based elastomer in the healthcare, coating, and personal care industries. Its properties, for example, flexibility, straightforwardness, toughness, and long rack make it the exceptionally favored type of PDMS. The development of medicinal services, individual consideration, beauty care products, and different ventures is relied upon to drive the interest for PDMS elastomers.

• Over a couple of years, the worldwide pharmaceutical market has encountered huge development. In 2019, the total worldwide pharmaceutical market size is estimated at USD 1.25 trillion.

• The global income in the personal care segment is projected to amount USD 497.27 billion in 2020. The market is forecasted to develop every year by 4.9%.

• All the aforementioned factors are expected to drive the Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) market during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Market

Asia-Pacific region holds a prominent share in the polydimethylsiloxane market globally and is expected to dominate the market during the forecast timeline.

• In 2019, the electrical and electronics segment of the Asia-Pacific region is estimated to develop by 5%.

• India's healthcare area is expected to be worth more than USD 280 billion in 2020. The nation's medicinal services are amongst the major areas in terms of income and employment.

• China's income in the personal care segment is projected to add USD 61.39 billion in 2020. It is relied upon to grow about a market volume of USD 71.39 billion by 2024.

• Thus, rising demand from various industries is expected to drive the market studied in the region during the forecast timeframe.
