$241.5 Million Fluorosilicone (Elastomer, Antifoams, Coating Adhesives & Sealants) Market 2017 - Global Forecast to 2022 - Research and Markets

The "Fluorosilicone Market by Product Type (Elastomer, Antifoams, Coating Adhesives & Sealants), End-Use Industry (Transportation, OEM, Oil & Gas), and Region (APAC, North America, Europe, South America) - Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The fluorosilicone market is estimated at USD 165.7 million in 2017 and is projected to reach USD 241.5 million by 2022, at a CAGR of 7.8%, in terms of value, between 2017 and 2022

The market is witnessing high growth because of the increasing use of fluorosilicone in the automotive, aerospace, OEM, and oil & gas industries, and the growing demand from APAC and North America.

Elastomer is projected to be the fastest-growing product type segment in the fluorosilicone market during the forecast period because of its increasing sealing application. The fluorosilicone elastomer is extensively used in aerospace applications such as components in fuel systems, coolants, and other parts. These elastomers have low- and high-temperature resistance properties. They are fundamentally UV- and ozone resistant. These elastomers are widely used in manufacturing sealing and bearing solutions such as O-rings, gaskets, membranes, and others.

North America is projected to be the largest market for fluorosilicone during the forecast period. The development in the automotive and transportation industries is projected to drive the fluorosilicone market in this region. The increasing use of fluorosilicone antifoams in the oil & gas industry is also driving the market in this region. However, APAC is the fastest-growing market for fluorosilicone. This growth can be attributed to the increasing automobile sales and the OEM manufacturing activities in the region.
