The silicone elastomers market is segmented by type into room-temperature vulcanize (RTV), liquid silicone rubber (LSR), and high-temperature vulcanize (HTV). In 2024, the HTV segment is expected to lead with over 52% of the market share, driven by technological advancements in manufacturing and the growing demand in industries such as automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and electronics. The HTV segment's growth is attributed to its use in high-temperature applications and the manufacture of gaskets, seals, and engine components. Meanwhile, the LSR segment is projected to experience the highest CAGR during the forecast period, fueled by innovations in material science and the demand for biocompatible materials.

In terms of processes, the market is categorized into extrusion, molding, calendering, and other processes. The molding process segment is expected to dominate in 2024 with a share of over 45%. This segment's growth is driven by the increasing demand for LSR injection molding for complex parts and technological advancements in molding processes. The need for mass production of silicone elastomer parts across various industries further supports the segment's expansion. Additionally, the molding process segment is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period, thanks to ongoing innovations in material science.

The market's end-use industries include automotive, aviation & aerospace, consumer goods, electrical & electronics, healthcare, energy, industrial machinery, construction, and other sectors. The electrical & electronics segment is expected to hold the largest share of above 35% in 2024, driven by the use of silicone elastomers in manufacturing components such as power supplies, circuit boards, and LED lighting. The healthcare sector, however, is projected to register the highest CAGR, driven by the demand for biocompatible materials and the use of silicone elastomers in medical devices and implants.

Geographically, the silicone elastomers market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, Asia-Pacific is expected to lead the market with over 53% of the market share.
