Dimethicone, also called Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), belongs to a group of polymeric organosilicon substances that are commonly referred to as silicones. Dimethicone is the most widely used silicon-based organic polymer, and is particularly known for its strange rheological (or flow) properties. It is optically clear, and, in general, is considered to be inert, non-toxic and non-flammable.
Dimethicone has many applications due to its performance properties such as low viscosity variety to temperature change, excellent themal stability, low surface tension and excellent dielectric properties, etc. It is mainly used for daily chemical, chemical additive and machinery, etc. In 2015, amount of dimethicone used in daily chemical took about 29.24%. Chemical additive application took about 43.19%. Machinery application took 8.75%.
Dimethicone production process is relatively mature. Also, downstream demand for dimethicone is increasing. Theoretically, there should be many manufacturers who produce dimethicone. While the truth is that this market is controlled by several big companies. Dow Corning, Wacker, Momentive and Shin-Etsu are top four manufacturers all over the world. In 2015, production of dimethicone in Dow Corning took about 20.95% of globe. Wacker took 16.74%. Momentive took 7.29% and Shin-Etsu took about 6.95%. In the future, we predict that those three companies will still occupy the mainstream dimethicone market.
According to this study, over the next five years the Dimethicone market will register a -0.7% CAGR in terms of revenue, the global market size will reach US$ 640 million by 2024, from US$ 670 million in 2019.
