Silane Market

Industry Overview

The global silane market was valued at USD 1.8 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. Silanes originated from a silicon-based compound that comprises approximately four inorganic or organic substituent clusters, which are attached to an essential silicon atom. The product offers several advantages to its users such as exceptional water repellence, UV stability, long-term durability, high dilution capability and stability, and neutral appearance. Silanes are rapidly being utilized as a promoter of adhesion that helps in improving temperature, chemical resistance, and moisture.

Market Segmentation

Insight by Application

On the basis of application, the silane market is segmented into rubber & plastics, adhesives & sealants, fiber treatment, paint & coatings, and others. Among all the applications, paints and coatings were the largest application area in the global silane market in 2018 due to their widespread use in various industries such as automobiles, buildings, electronics, and machinery.

Insight by Type

Based on type, the silane market is segmented into two types’ mono/chloro silanes and functional silanes. The functional silanes are further sub-segmented into sulfur silanes, vinyl silanes, amino silanes, epoxy silanes, alkyl silanes, and methacrylate silanes. The Mono/Chloro silane segment is estimated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. These silanes are expansively being used in integrated circuits, electrical & electronics, flat panel displays, and photovoltaic. Mono/Chloro silane is rapidly being used as a defensive representative for intermediates in the process of synthesis of silanes & siloxanes along with pharmaceutical syntheses. Moreover, the increasing flat panel displays industries, electronics & electrical industries, and expanding emphasis on solar sources as renewable energy in emerging economies are further expected to drive the growth of this segment in the near future.
