Fluorosilicone Rubber Market Share Will Generate Record Revenue by 2030

 Market Synopsis

According to MRFR analysis, the Fluorosilicone (FVMQ) Rubber Market was valued at over USD 120 Million in 2018 and is projected to register a CAGR of 5.51% during the forecast period.

Fluorosilicone Rubber (FVMQ) is a modified silicone rubber formulated from fluorosilicone polymers that contain a (-Si-O-) repeating group on the polymer backbone. FVMQ exhibits excellent heat resistance, electrical conductivity, low-temperature flexibility, and excellent resistance to weather, ozone, and UV. FVMQ exhibits a significantly better chemical resistance than the standard silicone rubber, especially in conditions where hydrocarbons, fuel, aromatic mineral oils, and low molecular aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene and toluene) are involved.

The prominent factors favoring the growth of the global market are increasing automobile production in developing economies and significant growth of the aerospace & defense industry. With the increasing automobile production and demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient automobiles, the demand for fluorosilicone rubbers is expected to increase in the coming years. In 2018, over 95 million units of automobiles were manufactured, which is expected to cross over 100 million units by the end of 2019.

Moreover, the increasing use of alternative fuels, synthetic oils, and aggressive fluids and the increased operating temperatures with less cooling airflow required in the automotive engines, pose unique challenges related to material performance and its use in sealing applications. FVMQ is expected to deliver these requirements, owing to its superior extreme-temperature (low/high) performance, prolonged resistance to fuels, oils, solvents, and aggressive fluids, and its wide range of engineering properties. This is likely to boost the demand for FVMQ in the manufacturing of sealing and tubing components in the coming years.

Furthermore, the increasing commercial aircraft production and high defense spending are further expected to drive the growth of the market for fluorosilicone (FVMQ) rubber in the years to follow.

In the market, fluoroslicone rubber is popular by the trade names: SILASTIC (Dow) and Elastosil (Wacker Chemie AG).
