Silicone is a type of polymer derived from siloxane and is utilized in the production of lubricants and synthetic rubber. It is known for its distinctive characteristics, including thermal stability, hydrophobic properties, and physiological inertness. Silicone, with the exception of resins, finds extensive application in the medical field, where it is employed in the manufacturing of surgical implants and dental impression materials.
The primary product categories of silicone include elastomers, fluids, gels, and other related products. Elastomers are polymers characterized by their viscosity and elasticity, making them viscoelastic in nature. Silicone products have a wide range of applications spanning the construction, transportation, electrical and electronics, textiles, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and various other industrial sectors. They are commonly used in industries such as electronics, machinery, aerospace, and the medical field.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the silicone except resins market by increasing costs of imported medical grade silicone materials and specialty processing chemicals. The impact is strongest in medical and healthcare applications, particularly in regions dependent on imported biocompatible materials such as Asia Pacific and Latin America. Higher tariffs have influenced product pricing and procurement budgets. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged local manufacturing and domestic production of medical silicone materials.

This silicone (except resins) market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The silicone (except resins) market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $66.54 billion in 2025 to $73.2 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of medical device manufacturing, demand for flexible polymers, expansion of healthcare infrastructure, early adoption of silicone elastomers, development of biocompatible materials.
The silicone (except resins) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $106.48 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to aging population growth, rising surgical procedures, expansion of dental applications, innovation in medical grade silicones, increasing regulatory approvals. Major trends in the forecast period include growing use in medical implants, expansion of liquid silicone rubber applications, increasing demand for biocompatible materials, rising adoption in healthcare devices, focus on high purity silicone grades.
The growing construction industry is anticipated to significantly contribute to the growth of the silicon (except resins) market in the future. The construction industry includes activities related to the planning, design, construction, renovation, and maintenance of buildings, infrastructure, and other physical structures. Silicones are widely used in construction as sealants and adhesives due to their excellent adhesion, flexibility, and durability. These properties make them ideal for sealing gaps, joints, and cracks in structures such as windows, doors, and roofs, ensuring airtight and watertight seals that enhance energy efficiency and structural longevity. For example, in March 2023, a report by Oxford Economics, a UK-based provider of economic information services, revealed that global construction output was valued at $9.7 trillion in 2022 and is projected to rise to $13.9 trillion by 2037. Thus, the expanding construction industry is driving the growth of the silicon (except resins) market.
Major companies in the silicon (excluding resins) market are actively innovating new technologies, such as low-cyclosiloxane silicone elastomer blends and silicone resin blends. These innovations cater to topical applications and offer improved spreadability and water-resistant properties. For instance, DuPont de Nemours Inc. launched new developments in low-cyclic silicone elastomer blends and silicone resin blends in April 2023 to enhance the feel and durability of topical formulations.
In May 2024, KCC Corporation, a chemical company based in South Korea, acquired Momentive Performance Materials Group for an undisclosed sum.
