Polysiloxane Coatings Market - Forecast(2023 - 2028)

Polysiloxane Coatings Market Overview

Polysiloxane coatings market size is forecast to reach $3.2 billion by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 6% during 2021-2026 due to increasing demand for protective coatings from various end-use industries such as building & construction, automotive, aviation, personal care products, and others. Polysiloxane offers various properties such as excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance, anti-graffiti properties, and has low volatile organic compounds. Polysiloxane is linear polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) that is used to improve the antifouling properties of the fouling release coatings based on polyurethane. Polydimethylsiloxane provides lubricating effects and offers excellent thermal stability, biocompatibility, and is easy to handle. Polysiloxane contains a high density of benzophenone which has excellent ultraviolet abrasion properties. Hence, increasing demand for nanotechnology for the improvement of UV protection from the end-use industry is estimated to grow the demand for polysiloxane coatings.

Impact of COVID – 19

Due to COVID-19, the construction activities have been shut down from the first a quarter of 2020 and also continue in Q2 of 2021, due to which new buildings, offices could not be commissioned. According to U.S. Census Bureau, construction spending in the US decreased 0.8% in January 2021 which limited the demand for polysiloxane coatings.

Polysiloxane Coatings Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry

Transportation dominated the global polysiloxane (polydimethylsiloxane) market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 6.2% during 2021-2026. Polysiloxane coatings offer excellent abrasion, corrosion resistance, anti-graffiti properties, and other properties thus are used in gaskets, planes, and others. Thus, increasing vehicle production and the aerospace industry are estimated to grow the consumption of polysiloxane coatings. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicles Manufacturers (OICA), global vehicle production increased by 21.08 million in January-March 2021 as compared to 18.03 million in January-March 2020. Furthermore, according to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), passenger vehicle sales in November 2020 stood at 2,91,001 units with 4.17 % growth, compared with 2,79,365 units in November 2019. Also, the Indian Government expects the automobile sector to draw in US$ 8-10 billion in native and foreign investments by 2023. Apart from this, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), The MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) aerospace industry is likely to grow over US$ 2.4 billion by 2028 from US$ 800 million in 2018. Also, the number of airplanes is expected to reach 1,100 by 2027. Hence, increasing automotive and aerospace production activities is estimated to grow the demand for liner polydimethylsiloxane or polysiloxane coatings.

Polysiloxane Coatings Market Segment Analysis – By Geography

Asia Pacific dominated the polysiloxane coatings market in 2020 with more than 30%, due to increasing demand from the building & construction and automotive sector in Asian countries. Polysiloxane coatings can resist temperatures of approximately 1,400°F (760°C) and provide high UV resistance with coatings by nanotechnology. Thus, increasing investment in the construction sector and housing demand is creating opportunities for polysiloxane coatings. According to the The Indian government, an investment worth US$ 31,650 billion has been initiated by 99 cities under their smart city plans. Additionally, 100 smart cities and 500 cities are possible to invite investment worth INR 2 trillion in the upcoming 5 years. According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), China constructed 11 supertalls buildings more than 300 meters in 2018.
