In this report, Technavio analysts highlight the increase in demand from developing countries as a key factor contributing to the growth of the global silicones market:

Increase in demand from developing countries

In developing countries such as China, India, Brazil, Mexico, the Philippines, and Indonesia, the demand for silicones is expected to increase in the next five years. Several OEMs for silicones are shifting their manufacturing units to these regions owing to factors such as low transportation costs, easy availability of land, cheap labor, easy accessibility of raw materials, and less stringent regulations and government policies. In regions such as APAC, the emergence of China and India as the manufacturing hubs is expected to augment the market growth. During the forecast period, the growing investments in manufacturing activities in developing countries are expected to boost the demand for silicones.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for plastics, polymers, and elastomers, “Factors such as the growing population, high disposable income, and increasing purchasing power in the developing countries of APAC and Central and South America are encouraging higher investment in the construction, automotive, and glass manufacturing industries. In countries such as India, the increase in foreign direct investment is expected to drive the growth in the regional manufacturing and construction markets.”
