The HTV segment is leading the market for silicone elastomers.
HTV (high temperature vulcanized) silicone elastomers accounted for more than 50% of the overall silicone elastomers in 2017. They are used in a wide range of industries due to their properties such as electrical conductivity, radiation resistance, steam resistance, flame retardance, and extreme temperature resistance. These elastomers are used mostly in automotive & transportation, electrical & electronics, and healthcare industries.
Healthcare industry is projected to be the fastest-growing end-user of silicone elastomers.
Silicone elastomers are used extensively in the healthcare industry due to their properties such as biocompatibility, low surface tension, high permeability, and pressure-sensitive properties. The growing aging population and rising awareness about healthcare are fueling the demand for silicone elastomers in the healthcare industry. Silicone elastomers are used in dental and surgical devices, diagnostics and imaging, fluid and drug delivery devices, scar management, laboratory accessories, wound drains, dialysis O-rings, and sterilization mats in this end-use industry.
APAC is the largest market for silicone elastomers.
