Silicone in Heavy Machinery Market Outlook -2027

The global silicone in heavy machinery market size was valued at $1.2 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $1.9 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2020 to 2027.

Global silicone in heavy machinery market is expected to witness temporary downfall, due to significant demand drop in the power sector around the globe coupled with temporary delay in upcoming power plant projects.

Silicone is a high-performance material used in various heavy machinery in the form of resin, elastomers (adhesives, sealants), gels, and fluids. Silicone elastomer is classified into liquid silicone, high temperature silicone, and room temperature silicone rubber. Silicone rubber consists of alternating oxygen and silicon atoms, and based on the bonding between oxygen and silicon atoms, it can be found in various shapes.

Most of the silicone elastomers possess thermoset properties whereas other elastomers possess thermoplastic properties. Silicone elastomer and fluid silicone used in high voltage applications can operate at temperature up to 350°–400° F. In addition, silicone fluids are widely used as transformer oil and circuit breaker oil in power stations.

Significant demand for silicone elastomer in insulators and cable is expected to steer the global silicone in heavy machinery market growth. Most insulators used in heavy machineries such as transformer, switchgears suffer from mechanical loads, and ultraviolet radiation but liquid silicone rubber provide surfaces that are less prone to erosion from abrasive particles; thus, augmenting the market growth for liquid silicone rubber. In addition, it provides protection against airborne particles such as ocean fog or salt spray, owing to high water resistance property. Furthermore, growth in application of silicone oil in various transformers in power stations is expected to foster the global silicone in heavy machinery market growth. Silicone oil can be used at high temperature, which is above normal operating temperature for any transformer. Even at high temperature fluid silicone restricts creating excessive vapor pressure unlike other mineral oils. However, non-recyclable nature of silicone rubber may negatively impact the market growth. Due to high cost for recycling and high chance to break apart during the recycling process, industry players are more reluctant to utilize liquid silicone rubber for further applications. Nonetheless, growth in application of silicone in new wind energy projects for wind turbine applications, such as switchgear and transformers for cable-to-cable connections will provide new opportunities in the market.

The global silicone in heavy machinery market is segmented on the basis of product type, component, and region. On the basis of product type, it is divided into elastomer, fluids, and others. Based on component, it is categorized into switchgear and others. Based on region, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA, with country level analysis of each region.

COVID-19 Scenario Analysis:

  • The silicone rubber market in heavy electrical machinery has been severely impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe.
  • This is attributed to decline in demand from the power sector. As large number of industries and commercial areas are under complete lockdown, the power sector faced a significant drop in market demand; thus,
  • negatively impacting the market growth. 
  • Due to significant demand drop in the power sector, industry players are focusing on maintaining existing operations instead of further expansion, which leads to temporary delay for upcoming projects.
  • In addition, extended lockdown slowed down the production of silicon rubber products due to limited resources and longer lead time to replenish raw materials.
  • However, implementation of IoT and automation may reduce the need of labors wherever possible and increase operational efficiency. The automated packaging with smart robots can reduce the workers on shop floors; thus, maintaining social distancing norms.
