World demand to rise 5.9% annually through 2017 World demand for silicones will rise 5.9 percent per year to $18.9 billion in Gains will represent an acceleration from recent historical trends, stimulated by an improved outlook for global manufacturing and construction activity from the recession-plagued period, particularly in North America and Western Europe. Increases in silicone demand will also benefit from the rising use of high value materials in emerging applications, particularly in the newly industrialized nations of the world where the use of silicones is not yet mature. Advances will be limited, however, by the high cost of silicones relative to competitive materials in many applications. Construction to be most rapidly growing application Electrical and electronics was the leading outlet for silicones in 2012, and will be bolstered by demand in high-growth new applications such as components for LEDs and solar energy products. The most rapid increases, however, will be in the construction market, driven in large part by a recovery in the siliconeintensive construction sectors of the US and Western Europe. More moderate gains are expected for outlets such as paper production, textiles, and plastic additives, restrained by slow- growing markets and limited new applications.
