The market size of silicone fabrics continues to grow and the market size will exceed 35 billion yuan
Organosilicon refers to a compound that contains Si-C bonds and at least one organic group is directly connected to a silicon atom. Silicone materials have a unique structure and combine the properties of inorganic materials and organic materials. They have basic properties such as low surface tension, small viscosity-temperature coefficient, high compressibility, and high gas permeability. They are also resistant to high and low temperatures, electrical insulation, and oxidation resistance. It has excellent properties such as stability, weather resistance, flame retardancy, hydrophobicity, corrosion resistance, non-toxic, tasteless and physiological inertness. It is widely used in aerospace, electronic and electrical, construction, transportation, chemical industry, textile, food, light industry, medical and other industries. .
Silicone fabric is a textile fabric made of silicone as a coating material. Silicone has been used in the textile industry since the 1950s. Silicone can make textiles have excellent water repellency and unique properties. Therefore, the textile industry has become the main application field of silicone.
Silicone fabrics can be divided into glass fiber, polyester fiber, polyamide and others according to different fabrics. Silicone fabrics have been widely used in the production of protective clothing, industrial cloth, clothing fabrics and other products, and are further used in industry, medical, consumer, automotive It has been widely used in other fields.
Industrial Research Center released the “Global and Chinese Organic “In-depth Research Report on Silicone Fabric Industry” shows that with the continuous development of global industrial, medical, automotive and other industries, especially the rapid growth in sales of new energy vehicles and medical protective clothing products, the global organic The market size of silicone fabrics continues to grow. In 2020, the global silicone fabric market size has exceeded 25 billion yuan. The main players include Elkem (USA), 3M Company (USA), Auburn Manufacturing Inc. (USA), Nott Company (USA) ), Mid-Mountain Materials, Inc (USA), Trelleborg AB (Sweden), COMPAGNIE DE SAINT-GOBAIN SA (France) and Serge Ferrari Group (France), etc.
Compared with ordinary fabrics, silicone fabrics have many advantages in strength, porosity, expansion and service life. Therefore, in the automotive field, silicone fabrics can be used to produce products such as airbags and air curtains. In 1998, the United States mandated that all cars and light commercial vehicles must be equipped with driver airbags and front passenger airbags. In 2012, the European Union mandated that all cars and light commercial vehicles must use airbags (frontal airbags, head protection airbags and side airbags), in 2015, the Chinese government mandated the use of seat belts and frontal airbags in all vehicles. With the implementation of mandatory airbag installation policies in various countries, the scale of demand for silicone fabrics in the automotive field has promoted the continued growth of the global silicone fabrics market, and will remain one of the main driving forces for the development of the global silicone fabrics market in the future.
Silicone fabrics are flame retardant, inhibit the growth of mold or mildew, are waterproof, UV-resistant, skin-friendly, and non-toxic. They have advantages over leather, PVC, PU and other fabrics. The Healthy Hospital Initiative launched by the U.S. government aims to Promoting a safe and healthy environment in hospitals and supporting the use of silicone fabrics in medical institutions is expected to drive significant growth in the market size of silicone fabrics in North America.
With the rapid economic development in the Asia-Pacific region, especially the rapid development of developing countries represented by China and India, it will promote the sustainable development of manufacturing, automobile industry, medical and other fields in the Asia-Pacific region, thereby promoting the demand for silicone fabrics in the Asia-Pacific region. As demand continues to grow, the Asia-Pacific region will become the world’s largest demand market for silicone fabrics, and will effectively promote the growth of the global silicone fabric market. It is expected that in 2025, under the influence and promotion of multiple factors, the global silicone fabric market will exceed 35 billion yuan, and the industry development prospects are good.
