The lubricants segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 32.72% in 2023. Silicone oils are known for their stability and effectiveness over a wide range of temperatures, from very low to very high. This makes them ideal for applications where traditional lubricants may fail, such as aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications. Silicone oils can be used in a wide variety of applications, including automotive lubricants (e.g., transmission fluid, brake fluid), industrial equipment, electrical and electronic equipment, and even personal care products such as hair clippers and razors.

Water repellents is another significant application which is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. Silicone oil offers excellent water repellent properties, making it very effective in preventing water penetration and moisture damage. Silicone-based water repellents provide long-lasting protection against water, weather and environmental factors. This makes it ideal for use in the construction, textile and automotive.
