The global silicone elastomers market value from electrical and electronics segment was valued at USD 1.40 billion in 2020. Silicone elastomers have good dielectric properties and can be formulated to be electrically conductive and insulated, making them compatible for a wide range of application in the electronic and electrical industry.
Silicone elastomers are widely used in highly sensitive circuits, semiconductor applications and other electronic components and assemblies. These elastomers have good insulation properties, which help in protecting electrical circuits in various electronic components such as computers, television, aircraft videos display from dust, and heat. These are also ideal for high voltage application and for effectively insulating underground and aboveground power cables.
The ongoing trend of miniaturization in the electronics industry has forced component manufacturers to produce smaller components with stronger resistance in order to reduce the probability of failure in future and ensure reliability. Silicone elastomers provide adequate protection to the component interfaces, which is critical requirement in high power electronics. RTV elastomers are used in electrical & electronics for LED devices, IGBT modules and circuit based assemblies, which supports silicone elastomers market growth from electrical & electronic applications.
The North America silicone elastomers market size is expected to exceed USD 3.10 billion by 2027, growing with a CAGR of 6% from 2021 to 2027 owing to growing construction, and automotive industries across the region. The superior durability strength and resistance of high performance silicone make it ideal for manufacturing material for construction and machinery. North America has witnessed significant growth in the construction sector due to increasing disposable income, evolving business, and work opportunities.
Rising urbanization along with escalating migration to the country has increased the need for infrastructure to facilitate their occupation. Supportive infrastructure development initiatives by the U.S. federal government including the investments of USD 10 trillion for the next 10 years in upgrading roads, bridges, water systems, broadbands, and power grids, boosting the regional construction industry.
The building & construction industry in the U.S. may see an uptrend in the foreseeable future owing to increasing government regulations toward energy-efficient buildings and smart building technologies. Supportive government initiatives, such as the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative undertaken in the U.S. that led to the reduction of asthma symptomatic episodes, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations for children who benefited from the initiative, are likely to further encourage the growth of the construction industry in the region, thereby propelling the growth of the silicone elastomers market.
