Global LSR market by industrial grade

Industrial grade LSR is used extensively in various industries such as construction, automotive, and electronics. Owing to the properties such as insulation, dependence on material additives, and resistance to extreme temperature, it is extensively used in various industrial applications.

According to Chandrakumar Badala Jaganathan, a lead metals and minerals research analyst from Technavio, “The construction industry which encompasses construction of bridges, roads, and buildings is the dominant end-user segment of the global LSR market. LSRs are used as sealants, coatings, and water repellents due to its property such as thermal stability, high permeability, water repellence, UV resistance, and oxidative stability.”

Global LSR market by food grade

Food grade LSR is highly used in consumer goods applications for its properties such as flame retardancy, heat resistance, bacterial and chemical resistance, and process flexibility. The key food grade LSR consumer goods applications include bakeware, kitchen utensils, infant care products, microwave oven doors, plastic spatulas, grips for knives, spoons, whisks, and other utensils.

“The global consumer goods market is growing at a significant rate due to factors such as the changing lifestyles, the rise in disposable income, growing preference of eco-friendly appliances, and low cost of electricity. The demand for residential cooking appliances is increasing and is likely to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increased consumer convenience with product developments and a high number of e-retailing options,” says Chandrakumar.

Global LSR market by medical grade

The medical grade LSR segment is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period due to the rise in the demand for medical grade LSR in medical implants and disposable devices. The growth in the segment is likely to be higher as compared with other grades. This can be attributed to its properties such as bacterial resistance, gas permeability, transparency, high dielectric strength, high elongation, and other unique features.

Medical grade LSR is used in manufacturing various medical parts such as syringe stoppers, tracheal tube, oxygen mast instruments, saccules, medical hose, and dialysis filters. Moreover, this grade is most expensive when compared to other grades.
