Demand Analysis of Dimethicone Silicone (2017-2021) Vs. Market Outlook (2022-2032)

“Increasing Adoption of Dimethicone Silicone to Enhance Aesthetic Attributes of Products”

According to Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider, demand for dimethicone silicone is expected to rise at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2022 to 2032.

Dimethicone silicone has witnessed significant demand as a silicone-based polymer in personal care products. Personal care product manufacturers’ perception of dimethicone silicone as an ingredient that enhances aesthetic attributes of products such as lotions, foundations, and primers, has been driving demand for this polymer over the past couple of years.

Dimethicone silicone has witnessed extensive demand in color complexion cosmetics, as they serve as a carrier for the insoluble mineral pigments, enabling coverage and color to various complexion products. The use of dimethicone silicone in emulsion/carrier fluid to develop a flexible, non-occlusive, and breathable film, has also upheld its demand and sales in recent years.

What’s Majorly Driving Dimethicone Silicone Market Growth?

“Dimethicone Silicone Innovations in Personal Care Products to Support Market Expansion”

Though dimethicone silicone finds a wide range of industrial applications, its demand remains high in the personal care products sector. Owing to its heat and water resistance properties, temperature stability, and anti-shearing characteristics, dimethicone silicone is used in the preparation of a variety of cosmetic products.

Dimethicone silicone, also referred to as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), is found to be non-acnegenic and reduces the risk of undesired acne and skin pore-clogging. It remains a famous smoothing agent used in personal care cosmetics. While the personal care products industry envisages rapid growth, leading market players are using innovative ingredients to improve their product integrity.

After a few decades of moderate performance, the beauty sector is undergoing some radical changes induced by the rising number of look-conscious consumers. Manufacturers in the skincare industry identify the unique skin feel conferred by dimethicone silicone in cosmetic products, which is likely to boost its demand over the coming years.

Increasing consumer preference for sensory parameters of personal care products is making an impact on their purchasing decisions. Dimethicone silicone is used in various skin and health care products such as skin moisturizers, lip care products, anti-aging creams, shampoos, and hair conditioners. Market players in the dimethicone silicone market can leverage lucrative opportunities in the rapidly growing personal care sector.

Applications of dimethicone silicone range from the healthcare industry to the oil & gas industry. International authoritarian organizations and policymakers mandate dimethicone silicone manufacturers to comply with standards and safety regulations. As dimethicone silicone is a non-inflammable and nontoxic chemical, most regulatory organizations approve of its use in a variety of industrial applications.

Which Region is at the Forefront of Dimethicone Silicone Demand?

“Rising Demand for Customized Skin & Hair Care Products and Rapid Expansion of Oil & Gas Industry Driving High Market Growth in Europe”

Europe leads with 28.2% share in the global dimethicone silicone market. Rising demand for customized and novel skin and hair care products, prominent presence of key manufacturers, and rapid expansion of the oil & gas industry driving the market growth in the region.

Government organizations in Europe evaluate the use of dimethicone silicone in cosmetics to ensure consumers’ safety. Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) is a committee of the European Commission that provides opinions on the probable risks of using chemicals in non-food consumer products.

SCCS states that the use of dimethicone silicone in cosmetics does not create any health risks for human health, which can complement the growth of the dimethicone market in Europe.

The U.S. Food and Drug Organization (FDA) approves the use of dimethicone silicone in the preparation of personal care products and adds it to the list of chemicals generally recognized as safe (GRAS). On assessing scientific data associated with dimethicone silicone, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) declared that it can be safely used in cosmetic products.

Also, the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep Database gives dimethicone silicone a low hazard rating. Getting approval from most of the leading government organizations can prove to be beneficial for manufacturers and distributors in the U.S. dimethicone silicone market.

Which End Use Will Emerge as a Key Market Contributor?

“Growing Usage of Dimethicone Silicone in Oil & Gas Industry Owing to High Viscosity & Anti-foaming Properties”

Based on end use, the dimethicone silicone market is segmented into personal care & cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, food, and others.

Nevertheless, attributing to its high viscosity and anti-foaming properties, dimethicone silicone finds various applications in the oil & gas industry. In extreme high and low-temperature environments and high-pressure conditions, dimethicone silicone offers exceptional stability.

Owing to the growing demand for silicone additives in the oil & gas industry, manufacturers are adopting strategies to incorporate the benefits of dimethicone silicone in innovative applications.
