| CLEVELAND, Aug. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Liquid Silicone Rubber, a new study from The Freedonia Group, the market for liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is on pace to increase 8.3% annually through 2023, propelled in part by an expanding range of products and applications.
The study is here: https://www.freedoniagroup.com/industry-study/liquid-silicone-rubber-3751.htm Specialty LSR Grades Are Primed for Strong Growth In particular, the Freedonia study anticipates sales increases in the following LSR product categories:
Growth in these categories (and the LSR market overall) should be quite strong going forward, as processors adopt LSR manufacturing capabilities and more complex molding techniques (including micromolding and 2-component molding); and fabricators come to understand the performance advantages of using LSR. Medical Market for LSR Will Outpace – & Eventually Overtake – All Other Applications Speaking of performance advantages, the benefits of LSR – including enhanced purity and biocompatibility when compared to high consistency rubber silicone – is giving it a boost in the fast growing medical market. Rising applications in this sector include:
For medical device fabricators, LSR also offers benefits like shorter cure times, higher durometers, lower flash, lower curing temperatures, and improved consistency and predictability between lots. Furthermore, it’s a material well suited to automation, which can help limit contamination in cleanroom manufacturing applications. As of 2018, the medical market still trailed the automotive industry as the leading market for LSR use. However, the Freedonia study expects that to change, estimating that medical end uses will eclipse automotive applications as the largest LSR market by 2023, and additionally outstrip smaller markets such as consumer and baby care, electrical and electronic, and industrial and other.
