According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Liquid Silicone Rubber Market is accounted for $2.64 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $4.85 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 9.1% during the forecast period. Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is a very pure, platinum-cured elastomer. LSR starts as a 2-part liquid that is heated to accelerate the reaction of the two parts to form solid rubber. LSR has excellent properties, such as low viscosity and low shrink rate that make it a great choice for injection molding and the manufacturing of complex products and intricate parts. One of the benefits of LSR is that it cures faster than most other rubber materials, additionally, due to the highly automated nature of injection molding and the potential for 24/7 manufacturing, high volumes of LSR products can be produced in a short period adding to its popularity.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing Applications of Liquid Silicone Rubber


Demand for wearable devices outside the medical sector also continues to grow, specifically products used to track fitness and health. LSR is ideal for wearable due to its resistance to moisture, ozone, and UV resulting in a long product life. Additionally wearable, companies continue to seek LSR for other consumer goods applications. For example, many kitchen products such as bake ware and spatulas are made from LSR due to its ability to tolerate high temperatures and its excellent food safety ratings. As LSR have some great properties than its competitor materials such as high thermal stability, chemical stability, and electrical resistance. These properties made it the first choice in many industries such as automotive and electrical & electronics. In the medical field, the hygienic quality of LSR helps to reduce the spread of bacteria or fungi to the patient's body, and its flexibility and softness ensure comfort to patients. Therefore, medical product designers are increasingly opting for LSR for the manufacturing of medical silicone parts on wider applications such as surgery, cardiology, oncology, orthopaedics, and neurosurgery, etc. among others.

Restraint:

Rigid Government Regulations 


The measure by governments to control healthcare costs and lack of investment in product development are restricting the growth of the market. Stringent and time-consuming regulatory policies are the major restraint for the market. The stringent demands especially in the medical industry pose a set of developmental challenges. While soft thermoplastics like TPE duplicate some of its characteristics, nothing else offers liquid silicone rubbers combination of biocompatibility; resistance to heat, cold, chemicals, and UV light; durability; design flexibility; and moldability. There is also the production cost of Liquid Silicone rubber that’s higher than thermoplastics. But this can be offset by the longevity and high quality of the products as Liquid Silicone Rubber is a thermosetting polymer. Though it can be more expensive per pound, LSR offers higher product performance than any other rubber on the market. But some manufacturers skimp out on quality to save costs. Such factors are a challenge to the Liquid Silicone Rubber market.

Opportunity:

Increasing Use of Liquid Silicone Rubber 3D printing


3D Printing is a process that creates a 3-dimensional object by adding material layer by layer using digital information instead of molds and tools. Owing to its durability and flexibility Liquid Silicone Rubber finds use in 3D printing. 3D printing technology that makes use of Liquid Silicone Rubber offers unique benefits such as the ability to manufacture customized parts, unique print on demand, and rapid prototyping. The use of 3D printing technology incorporating Liquid Silicone Rubber will accelerate the growth of the market.

Threat:

Reusable & Disposability


Minimization of the carbon footprint associated with LSR production, and improvement of LSR’s reusability and disposability are some of the threats associated with the LSR market.

Industrial Grade segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

It is extensively used in automotive, electrical & electronics, and other consumer goods products. Owing to the wider user base of LSR, this segment captured the largest market share. The lightweight and durability of LSR have resulted in its increased use in the automotive industry. Spark plug cable, gasket, and O-ring are some of the automotive products manufactured using LSR.

The Medical segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

LSR has demonstrated superb compatibility with human tissue and body fluids and is resistant to bacteria growth. Medical grades of LSR are temperature resistant and can easily sterilize, which makes them compatible with various medical devices and accessories such as implantable devices, liquid feeding bottles, dialysis filters, and oxygen mask instruments. Additionally, wearable medical devices are also gaining traction, leading to higher LSR demand.

Region with largest share:

The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share, owing to the availability of low-cost labor, product innovation, and favorable government support for manufacturing influence market growth. Moreover, the growing Asian automotive, electrical & electronics, and healthcare industry has a high demand for LSR, thereby, influencing the market growth. Additionally, some of the prominent LSR manufacturers are concentrated in the provinces including KCC Corporation, Guangdong Polysil Technology Co. Ltd, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co. The regional market is driven by the strong manufacturing growth of China and India.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR, inferable from positive marker in healthcare sector industry and developing interest for dispensable medicinal implants, gadgets, and gear moving regional sector industry development. A significant part of population in the US is matured over 65 and necessities medicinal consideration henceforth would affect positively on liquid silicone rubber market. Factors like expansion and developments in the automotive industry, the high buying power of individuals, and the rise in the population have contributed to the market dominance of this province.
