The silicone rubber industry has made remarkable achievements. With the leap-forward growth of consumption, the silicone rubber industry has begun to transform from high-performance special rubber to mass synthetic rubber, becoming one of the most widely used types of rubber.
It is reported that from the perspective of rubber consumption, natural rubber accounts for 41.8%, styrene-butadiene rubber and cis-butadiene rubber together account for 28.4%, while silicone rubber is usually only used in a few non-tire fields such as construction sealants and conductive keys, and only accounts for rubber. 6.4% of total consumption. Therefore, as silicone rubber replaces other types of rubber in some non-tire segments, its consumption will increase exponentially, and the market space will be further opened. In this regard, the industry also agrees with the above point of view.

It is expected that by 2015, silicone rubber will account for 10% to 15% of the total domestic rubber consumption, that is, the consumption of silicone rubber is expected to reach 1 million to 1.5 million tons, and by 2020, silicone rubber will account for the total rubber consumption. The proportion is expected to reach 20% to 33%, that is, the consumption of silicone rubber is expected to reach 3 million to 5 million tons.
In other words, the development potential and long-term development of the silicone rubber industry are very attractive, and its rapid development will also have a profound impact on the upstream and downstream industries. In fact, the linkage effect of the upstream and downstream industries of the silicone rubber industry has begun to gradually emerge. Some experts pointed out that the biggest highlight of the development of the silicone rubber industry is that it can greatly improve the domestic self-sufficiency rate of rubber.
