The global silicone in car care products market size is anticipated to reach USD 275.0 million by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2021 to 2028. The market is anticipated to grow by the rising vehicle sales which have boosted the demand for protective covering and maintenance of premium-class vehicles, primarily for aesthetics and interior cleaning applications.
Silicone offers durable water-repellency, lubricant properties, and abrasion resistance, making them suitable for automotive leather care applications. Silicone coating applied to leather improves the malleability and feel of the leather, making it pleasant to the touch. Specialty artificial leather is also made of silicone rubbers that are very flexible, stretchable, and less likely to degrade over time. Silicone artificial leather is used to manufacture seats, and the dashboard gives a more durable look and is much more resistant to temperature variations, aging, and UV exposure.
Major players are collaborating with distributors to increase the market reach for silicone in car care products. For instance, in September 2020, BRB International BV appointed ANDICOR SPECIALTY CHEMICALS for distribution of silicone products for industrial and car care, personal care, coatings, and inks; home; elastomers, and sealants and adhesives markets for Canada.
Many companies manufacturing car care products are launching new silicone-based products to protect and provide shine to the car interior. For instance, in August 2021, Champion Lubricants launched interior detailer spray (Part #4527) to provide shine to vinyl and plastic surfaces and also protect the car interior.
Regional penetration is one of the main strategic initiatives many silicone-based car care product manufacturers undertake to establish their market position globally. For instance, in June 2020, Turtle Wax, Inc., a global car care product brand, announced its entry into the Indian market. The brand launched its complete range of appearance products for four-wheelers and two-wheelers for every surface, including tires, paintwork, plastic, wheels, and others.
