The global silanes market size is projected to grow from USD 3.62 billion in 2024 to USD 5.20 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 7.5% during the forecast period. Silanes are compounds of silicon and hydrogen through covalent bonds, which are known as silicon hydrides. They are produced by the reaction of magnesium silicide with acids or by reduction of silicon chlorides using lithium aluminum hydride. Silanes are available in two forms with functional or non-functional groups and act as modifiers and coupling agents. The functional silanes are effective where reaction with both inorganic and organic substances is required, and the non-functional silanes are effective where there is no organic substance but only inorganic materials are used for various applications such as crosslinking agents, adhesion promoters, surface modifiers, coupling agents, and dispersing agents. Silanes are an important part of the rubber & plastics sector, especially the tire industry. The major applications of silanes also include fiber treatment, adhesives & sealants, and paints & coatings.
