Polydimethylsiloxane Market
                     Polydimethylsiloxane Market to Observe Significant Growth during 2018-2026
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a group of polymeric organosilicon compounds, which are 
commonly referred to as silicones. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a clear, non-toxic, non-
flammable, colorless, and viscous liquid that is insoluble in water and ethanol. PDMS is a widely 
used silicon-based organic polymer. It is used as elastomers, antifoaming agents, ant-caking 
agents, and lubricants in industries such as food & beverages, personal care, and pharmaceuticals.

Market Dynamics
Physical  and  chemical  properties  of  polydimethylsiloxane  (PDMS)  such  as  high  and  low
temperature stability, low surface tension, oxidative stability, and spreadability are major factors
driving demand for polydimethylsiloxane. Furthermore, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is recognized
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a protective agent in topical skin care
products.
Market Outlook
•Among application,  antifoaming  agents  segment  held  significant  market  share  in  the
polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) market across the globe in 2017. This is due to increasing
demand for antifoaming agents from food and beverages industry. Polydimethylsiloxane is
used as an antifoaming agent in cooking oils to prevent oil splatter. Moreover, it is used
in fast foods such as French fries, Chicken McNuggets, milkshakes, hash browns, and
smoothies. For instance, according to the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MOFPI),
the total consumption of food and beverages in India was valued at US$ 369 billion in
2017 and is expected to increase to US$ 1.142 trillion by 2025.
•Asia  Pacific  is  the fastest  growing region  in  the  global  polydimethylsiloxane  (PDMS)
market in 2017, due to increasing demand for PDMS in medical devices such as lab-on-a-
chip (LOC) devices, 3D tissue culture platforms, biological machines, and organ-on-a-chip
devices. Owing to its various properties such as elasticity, transparency, nontoxicity and
durability  PDMS is  widely used in medical  devices.  Further  steadily  growing medical
device market in the region is supporting the growth of the PDMS market. For instance,
according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), Indian medical devices market was
valued at US$ 10 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach US$ 25 billion by 2025.
