The scope of our recent study on the "Liquid Silicone Rubber Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis - by Grade (Food, Medical, and Industrial) and End User (Healthcare, Automotive, Consumer Goods, Electricals and Electronics, and Others)" includes the factors fueling the market growth, revenue estimation and forecast, and market share analysis, along with the identification of significant market players and their key developments.

The liquid silicone rubber market was valued at US$ 1,249.3 million in 2022 and is projected to reach US$ 1,877.1 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2022 to 2028. Liquid silicone rubber is a highly flexible thermosetting plastic that comes in a broad range of composition and hardness. Liquid silicone rubber materials are available in different varieties, which allows product designers and engineers to select the material with the characteristics most appropriate for the application. The key attributes of liquid silicone rubber include hardness, tensile strength, compression set, and fluid resistance. The notable benefits of medical-grade liquid silicone rubber over elastomeric materials include the ability to maintain its resiliency, flexibility and capability to transfer mechanical force at extreme temperatures, low compression set, and excellent stability over a broad range of temperatures.

Based on end user, the liquid silicone rubber market is segmented into healthcare, automotive, consumer goods, electricals and electronics, and others. The healthcare segment held the largest share of the market in 2021. In the healthcare sector, liquid silicone rubber is widely used to manufacture medical devices and equipment due to its flexibility, sterility, and biocompatibility. Moreover, it is odorless and tasteless, which makes it suitable for use in the manufacturing of devices used to administer medication, oxygen, and food. It is mostly used to produce tubing, defoamers, and adhesives. Medical-grade liquid silicone rubber is available in several grades such as FDA grade, Class VI Grade, and Platinum Cure Grade.

The liquid silicone rubber market is segmented into five main regions-North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America. Asia Pacific held the largest revenue share of the market in 2021. The automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods sectors are the major contributors to the high demand for market growth in Asia Pacific. Heavy investments from various manufacturers and a rise in government initiatives to support the production of different types of liquid silicone rubbers are leading to the expansion of production capacities of the region. In addition, the increasing demand for home appliances such as spatulas, bake wear, O-rings, gaskets, and grommets continues to bolster the market growth in the region.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Liquid Silicone Rubber Market

The COVID-19 outbreak has created a temporary distortion in operational efficiencies of industrial bases. In Europe, the production in manufacturing industries was almost negligible owing to the shortage of laborers and disrupted the supply chain of raw materials. Due to the shortage of automotive parts and low demand for vehicles, the automotive sector also had to slow down.

However, various industries are coming back on track after gradually resolving supply constraints. The increasing demand for liquid silicone rubber across diverse industries such as healthcare, automotive, and consumer goods continues to support the liquid silicone rubber market growth.

The report includes the segmentation of the liquid silicone rubber market as follows:
