Market Study: Silicones

Silicones are indispensable in many industries. These plastics are used for various products, from pacifiers to computer keyboards. Based on quartz sand via the production of silicon metal, chemical processes yield a great number of different silicone compounds. The most important ones are silicone elastomers, silicone oils and silicone resins. Application areas are construction, automotive, electrical and electronics, medical technology, cosmetics, textiles, and paper. The market research institute Ceresana analyzed this lucrative, rapidly growing market already for the second time.
