Silicone Encapsulant Market

Silicon polymers and elastomers used in silicon encapsulation exhibit excellent mechanical and chemical properties such as flexibility, shock resistance, humidity and water resistance, low toxicity, and chemical and temperature resistance. In addition, silicone encapsulation has advantages such as thermal transfer and light emission owing to which its market demand has increased with applications in the electrical & electronics sector.

The rise in demand for consumer electronics has catapulted the general silicone encapsulant market with applications in under bonnet electronics and electrical appliances. Moreover, the demand for alternative renewable energy sources has provided major traction in this market with increase in application in photovoltaic cells and solar power devices. Optically clear encapsulants provide superior temperature and moisture resistance and are considered as UV stable owing to which their demand is likely to increase in light emitting diode (LED), photovoltaic (PV), and other light sensitive devices. In addition, decrease in price of PV solar modules such as monocrystalline and polycrystalline cells is likely to generate lucrative growth opportunities for the market. The market is expected to increase its scope of applications in aviation displays. While high operating temperature zones are expected to hamper the optimal functioning of these materials, technological advancement is expected to boost its market demand.

Europe and North America have increased the demand for the silicon encapsulant market owing to growth in the electrical, electronics, and aviation sectors. Moreover, increase in application of optically clear encapsulants is expected to create potential market growth opportunities in Asia-Pacific and LAMEA.
