The fluorosilicone oil market continues to expand: demand in emerging fields surges

1.The market size is experiencing a period of rapid growth
According to the latest industry report, the global fluorosilicone oil market size is expected to reach 456 million US dollars in 2025, with the Chinese market accounting for more than 30%. Among them, the application proportion in the industrial field is 65%, while the transportation and new energy fields have the fastest growth rates, reaching 12% and 15% respectively annually.
Among the segmented products, methyl fluorosilicone oil dominates due to its excellent weather resistance, while hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil is growing at an annual rate of 8% in market share because of its special requirements in the medical field. It is expected that by 2030, high-end fluorosilicone oil products will account for more than 30% of the domestic market.

2. Demand in the aerospace and medical fields has exploded
In the aerospace field, fluorosilicone oil is widely used in engine lubrication and precision instrument protection due to its corrosion resistance and resistance to extreme environments. The latest data shows that the market size of this field is expected to reach 450 million yuan in 2025 and exceed 700 million yuan by 2030, with an average annual growth rate of 9.5%.
There is also strong demand in the field of medical equipment. Medical fluorosilicone oil not only enhances the lubricity and water resistance of medical devices, but also reduces noise during use. Currently, it has been applied in high-end medical devices such as endoscopes and artificial joints, with an annual purchase volume maintaining a growth rate of 15%.

3. Driven by both policy dividends and technological innovation
The country's 14th Five-Year Plan has listed special lubricating materials as a key development area. Fiscal subsidies and tax preferential policies will last until 2027, directly promoting the technological upgrading of fluorosilicone oil enterprises. Meanwhile, the industry standard system has been continuously improved. Recently, the national standards for specific products such as low-viscosity hydroxyl fluorosilicone oil have been released, providing support for the standardized development of the market.
From a technical perspective, new types of fluorosilicone oil products are constantly emerging. For instance, polyvinyl perfluoropolyether fluorosilicone oil has achieved a higher degree of crosslinking and corrosion resistance through molecular design. Its preparation process reduces the use of traditional fluorine-containing solvents, which is in line with the trend of green manufacturing.

4. The integration of industrial chains and the acceleration of global layout
Domestic enterprises are accelerating the integration of their industrial chains, forming a closed loop from individual synthesis to terminal application. In terms of upstream raw materials, the production capacity of silicone monomers is expected to exceed 6 million tons by 2028, providing a stable guarantee for the production of fluorosilicone oil. At the downstream application end, enterprises actively expand overseas markets. In 2024, the export value of domestic fluorosilicone oil increased by 35% year-on-year, and its recognition in the international market has significantly improved.
In the next five years, with the in-depth advancement of the "dual carbon" goals, environmentally friendly products such as bio-based fluorosilicone oil will gradually achieve large-scale production, and the industry will enter a new stage driven by quality.
