The organofunctional silanes market revenue was over USD 1.60 billion in 2020 and is likely to witness a decent rate of 8% through 2027. Organofunctional silanes are compounds with Si-C bonds, which are widely used as fillers in the thermoplastic or composite industry. The glass fiber reinforced plastic is combined with silane-induced adhesion to provide high-profile properties. It results in providing superior properties to the final end-products, which include high elasticity, low weight, corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and excellent heat & sound insulation. Strong growth in industrial processing activities will propel the silanes market growth during the assessment period.
The adhesives & sealants application will contribute over 15.9% of the global consumption in 2027. Silanes are widely used in sealants to enhance their functional properties. They often serve as dual-purpose by preventing the passage of chemicals, fluids, and air on the applied section and serve as a robust joining material. They are capable of forming resistant bonds in glass, composites, metal, ceramic, etc. Hence, these types of sealants are used in a range of industries including aerospace, automotive, and construction. Growing trends of building lightweight structures, aircraft, and vehicles with high durability will escalate the silanes market sales.
Europe will account for a revenue size of over USD 1.15 billion in 2027. Growing restructuring and remodeling activities in the region will boost the demand for adhesives, sealants, fillers, pigments, and coatings. Additionally, strong initiatives to shift focus to unconventional energy sources to conserve non-renewable sources have triggered the silanes market value in the solar energy sector in the region. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, Europe plans to double the renewable share in its energy mix cost-effectively from 17% in 2015 to 34% in 2030.
