The electrical & electronics segment is expected to show significant growth over the forecast period. The product finds its application as sealants, adhesives, and in coatings of cables and wires. In addition, enhanced durability along with ability to improve performance of the device under extreme conditions including zero-gravity and low pressure areas is anticipated to further augment the overall market.

Ample availability of raw materials including polymers and metals coupled with technological expertise has resulted in emergence of developing economies as sights of high growth rates. Other factors including low labor cost and high internal demand are resulting in lowering of cost of the product. High consumer acceptance towards new conceptual electronic products including miniaturization and lightweight is resulting in heightened demand for silicone over the forecast period.

Technological advancements are resulting in development of products that contain a blend of silicone with thermoplastics to enhance protection against scratches. Not only these innovative products lead to lowering friction, which results in smoother transmission of fluids, but also it leads to improved performance of the vehicles.
