The demand for venues continues to grow
Silicone is a type of polymer material with silicon oxygen bonds as the main chain, widely used in fields such as construction, automotive, electronics, and healthcare. According to market research firm Grand View Research, the global silicone market size has exceeded $18 billion in 2023 and is expected to exceed $30 billion by 2030.
China, as the world's largest producer of organosilicon, accounts for approximately 60% of the global production capacity. In recent years, with the explosive growth of industries such as photovoltaics and new energy vehicles, the demand for high-performance silicone sealants, thermal conductive materials, and other products has surged. In addition, the application of medical grade organosilicon in fields such as artificial joints and catheters is also driving market expansion.
Technological innovation becomes the key to competition
Despite China's advantage in organic silicon production capacity, high-end products still rely on imports. Therefore, domestic enterprises are increasing their research and development investment to promote the development of organic silicon materials towards high performance and environmental protection. For example:
In the field of photovoltaics, organic silicon encapsulation materials can improve the weather resistance and power generation efficiency of solar modules, becoming a new favorite in the industry.
Electric vehicles: Organic silicon thermal conductive materials are used for battery thermal management, ensuring safety and extending lifespan.
Medical health: The application of biocompatible organosilicon in wearable devices and implantable devices is accelerating.
Environmental policies promote industry upgrading
With the advancement of the global "dual carbon" goal, the organic silicon industry is also facing pressure for green transformation. The energy consumption and emissions issues in traditional production processes urgently need to be addressed, and some enterprises have begun to explore clean production processes and develop environmentally friendly new materials such as biobased organosilicon.
