Dimethyl silicone oil: Market demand is growing and application fields are expanding

1.The market size continues to expand
Dimethyl silicone oil, as a high-performance silicone material widely used in multiple fields such as chemical engineering, medicine, and cosmetics, has attracted much attention for its market prospects. According to relevant data, the global market size of dimethyl silicone oil was approximately 667 million US dollars in 2024 and is expected to reach 784 million US dollars in 2031, with a compound annual growth rate of 2.4% during the period from 2025 to 2031.

2. There is a strong demand in the industrial sector
In the industrial field, dimethyl silicone oil has extensive applications. Medium-concentration dimethyl silicone oil can be used as lubricating oil and grease. Due to its chemical stability and high-temperature stability, it can be used in harsh working conditions such as high temperature, high pressure and high speed, effectively reducing the wear of mechanical parts and improving the operational efficiency and service life of equipment. At the same time, it can also be used as an insulating material in high-voltage electrical appliances, transformers, etc., to protect electrical equipment from damage caused by electric shock and moisture.

3. It is widely applied in the cosmetics industry
Low-concentration dimethyl silicone oil is often used in the cosmetics industry. Due to its low viscosity, lightness, ease of application and absorption, it can be added as a moisturizer, sunscreen, thickener and other ingredients to cosmetics such as sunscreens, sunscreen creams and face creams, effectively protecting the skin, increasing the consistency and luster of cosmetics, and at the same time not blocking the skin's breathing, enhancing the user experience of cosmetics.

4. Emerging markets bring opportunities
With the rapid economic development of emerging markets such as Asia and Africa, the demand for high-performance materials like dimethyl silicone oil is also growing rapidly. The industrial development and consumption upgrade in these regions have provided new growth space for the dimethyl silicone oil market, driving the continuous increase in the market demand for dimethyl silicone oil.
