Cyclotetrasiloxane Market : Overview

The market for Cyclotetrasiloxane witnessed massive slowdown in its progress as a result of the spread of Covid-19 pandemic across the globe. The level of demand declined to the extreme level due to lockdown creating hurdles for the key players operating in this market. However as recovery commences in 2021, major players are recuperating their positions through production expansion, capacity utilizations and online selling in 2021 keeping in view the covid-19 norms.

Leading corporations including Dow Corning Corporation, Momentive Performance Materials Inc., Wacker Chemie AG, Wuhan Jiehong International Trading Co., ltd, Clearco Products Co., Inc., Genesee Polymers Corporation, BRB International B.V., AB Specialty Silicones, Jiangxi Xinghuo Silicone Factory, Elkem Silicones and others are making high investments in the establishment of research institutes in different regions to come up with improvements in their offerings. They are adopting business strategies such as sales contracts, strategic alliances, acquiring technical expertise, product approvals, patents and events, joint ventures, partnership agreements, collaborations, digital marketing, mergers and acquisitions, capacity utilisations, technological advancements etc to lead the global market for Cyclotetrasiloxane with largest market share.

For instance, Momentive Performance Materials Inc, announced the acquisition of KCC corporation’s Silicon businesses in the UK and Korea and its sales operations in China. This acquisition is projected to lead to the advancement of the company’s applications in silicones and specialized applications. Momentive will be able to look deeper into its technological capabilities, gain more expertise in advanced silicones and expand its geographical footprint. Asia Pacific region is expected to show a significant growth in the demand due to the increase in the increasing disposable incomes and expansion in the beauty industry. The market in North American and European regions is projected to be lucrative through 2030 owing to the increasing awareness of skin care. All the other key regions are driving the market growth and opening various opportunities for manufacturers.

Cyclotetrasiloxane Market Introduction:

Cyclotetrasiloxane belongs to the group of siloxanes and is a part of organosilicon (organic silicon) compounds and is termed as one of the cyclomethicones. Cyclotetrasiloxane is a cyclic compound with 4 silicon and 4 oxygen atoms, which are alternatively bonded.

Cyclotetrasiloxane is an odorless, tasteless and colorless compound. Cyclotetrasiloxane finds applications in deodorants, skincare lotions and creams, hair care formulations, and in make-up products. Due to its volatile nature, cyclotetrasiloxane (or D4) evaporates, imparting a soft and silky feel on the skin. It also does not leave any oily residue, giving a non-greasy feel.

Cyclotetrasiloxane is considered a non-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) by the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (U.S. EPA). Cyclotetrasiloxane can be directly used as an additive for the production of cosmetic products or as an intermediate to create high-quality blends for the formulation of personal care products.

Cyclotetrasiloxane can also directly be used as a rubber treating agent. Cyclotetrasiloxane is also used as a reactant for the production of other cyclomethicones such as cyclopentasiloxane (D5) and cyclohexasiloxane (D6). However, cyclotetrasiloxane is considered to be bio-accumulative and is inherently toxic to non-human organisms, especially aquatic life, due to its poor degradability. Cyclotetrasiloxane, in Europe, has been classified as an endocrine disruptor and presumably affects the fertility of the soil.

Cyclotetrasiloxane Market Dynamics:

Factors such as growing awareness regarding beauty and cosmetic products, changing lifestyle of the consumers, and the growing disposable income of the middle-class population are expected to drive the growth of the market in heavily populated and developing countries.

Owing to its toxicity, several environmental policies around the globe pose a threat to the growth of the market for cyclotetrasiloxane. For instance, recently in 2018, the European Commission’s Regulation, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) has published in the Official Journal to the European Union that cyclotetrasiloxane (D4) and cyclopentasiloxane (D5) in wash-off cosmetic products shall not be placed in the market in a concentration equal to or greater than 0.1% by weight of either substance, after 31 January 2020.

However, countries such as Canada have concluded that all the three siloxanes, including cyclotetrasiloxane, are safe for human health. The Canadian Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association (CCTFA) is working with the government to plan risk management measures for the political and environmental concerns regarding cyclotetrasiloxane.

Nowadays, the manufacturers and new emerging players are focusing on products that are environment friendly and matching the environmental regulations. This involves mixtures of botanical oils, waxes, and less harmful synthetic materials.

Cyclotetrasiloxane Market Regional Outlook:

Cyclotetrasiloxane is in a strong demand from the cosmetics and beauty market segment. The manufacturing of cyclotetrasiloxane is concentrated in China and Europe. However, the Asia Pacific market is expected to have a large market share due to the growing population and escalating disposable income.

Regions such as Latin America and Middle East and Africa (MEA) are expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period owing to the growing awareness regarding skin care products. Europe and North America might experience a downsized market share throughout 2018 to 2028 due implementation of stringent environmental policies.
