The Future Development Trends and Challenges of Silicone Oil Industry
In the future, the silicone oil industry will focus on high-performance, green, and expanding application areas. In terms of high-performance, the research and development of new modified silicone oils and nanocomposite silicone oils will enhance the temperature resistance and thermal conductivity of silicone oils, meeting the needs of fields such as new energy vehicles, semiconductor packaging, and aerospace. In terms of greening, the production technology of silicone oil using vegetable oil or bio methanol as raw materials will reduce dependence on fossil resources and comply with global carbon reduction policies. In addition, the application of silicone oil in battery thermal management, solar panel sealing, and high-end skincare products will drive sustained growth in the industry. However, the industry also faces challenges of overcapacity and declining export demand, and needs to enhance competitiveness through technological innovation and market expansion.
