The global silicone potting compounds market was valued at $931.2 million in 2019, and is projected to reach $1,247.2 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 4.0% from 2020 to 2027.
Potting is the process of filling an electronics assembly or component with solid compounds to protect them from the surrounding environment. Potting compounds are widely used to insulate electronic devices and protect them from moisture. Potting process can be performed either manually or by using automated meter-mix-dispense (MMD) equipment. Silicone, epoxy, polyurethane, and others are widely used as potting materials. Silicone polymers have a wide operating temperature range; exhibit excellent electrical properties, hardness range, good chemical, humidity, & water resistance, and offers ease-of-use.
The demand for silicone potting compounds is expected to increase in the near future, owing to the boom in the electronics industry. In addition, growing need to shield sensitive components from extreme environments used in end use industries such as automotive, computing, communications, and others is anticipated to fuel the market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, the demand for potting compounds is expected to increase further in the coming years on account of the associated benefits such as minimal shrinkage, high process efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

COVID-19 scenario analysis:

  • Transportation restrictions imposed because of COVID-19 outbreak lead to reduced factory output, and disturbed supply chains reduced significant percentage from global economic growth; thus, negatively affecting the market growth.
  • Extended lockdown slowed down the production of silicon potting products due to limited resources and longer lead time to replenish raw materials.
  • In addition, large dependency on Chinese exports for various silicon metals will further influence the market growth. For instance, China is the highest exporter of silicon and silica across the globe, and limited production in China increased the supply demand gap and material price.
  • Furthermore, due to social distancing norms during COVID-19, manufacturing firms are working with limited workforce; thus, negatively impacting the production process.
  • However, implementation of IOT and automation may reduce the need of labors wherever possible and increase operational efficiency. The automated packaging involving smart robots can reduce the workers on shop floors; thus, maintaining social distancing norms
