Factors contributing to this growth in the predicted period include an increase in electric vehicles, a surge in the demand for sustainable construction materials, the expansion of 5g and electronics, technological enhancements in adhesive formulations, and rising industrial automation and robotic systems. Key trends anticipated during this forecast period encompass a move towards eco-friendly adhesives, advancements in high-temperature applications, the rising trend of miniaturized electronics, customization, and specialty adhesives, along with integration with intelligent materials.
The growth of the silicone adhesives market is anticipated to be fueled by the burgeoning construction industry. The term construction industry encompasses the processes of planning, designing, building, and maintaining various kinds of structures, involving a myriad of trades and technologies to ensure safety and functionality. The boom in construction is propelled by factors such as urbanization, growing population needs, and governmental investments in infrastructure, leading to a surge in the requirements for new infrastructures such as buildings, roads, and facilities to back economic growth and elevate living conditions. Silicone adhesives are extensively utilized in the construction sector owing to their exceptional flexibility, resistance to weather, and powerful bonding abilities, making them perfect for sealing joints and bonding varying building materials. For instance, as per the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based government department, the value of construction work in June 2024 amounted to $33,815.0 million, showing a hike from $32,443.2 million in June 2022. Consequently, the expanding construction industry is stimulating the growth of the silicone adhesives market.
