Emerging applications in pharmaceutical & healthcare industries drives the Market growth of Silane Coupling Agents

The global silane coupling agents market size is estimated to grow from USD 1.2 billion in 2021 to USD 1.6 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period. The driving factors for the silane coupling agents market is increasing penetration of silane coupling agents in the automotive & transportation, building & construction industry, energy & chemical segment, and electrical & electronics industry in the emerging economies, such as India, China, and the Middle-East, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, and Argentina.

Emerging applications in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries are expected to create new opportunities for silane coupling agent manufacturers. Silane coupling agents are widely used in dental fields. One of the most important aspects in the field of dentistry is adhesion. Adhesion can be enhanced through different mechanisms, most commonly by chemical and mechanical modifications of dental material surfaces. Chemical adhesion utilizes primers or bonding agents containing coupling agents. Universal primers which are (mainly organophosphate-based monomers) and silane coupling agents are the most effective and most widely used for unifying dissimilar materials.

Other than improving adhesion, silanes have many other applications in dentistry. They have been found also to enhance the mechanical properties of materials either by adhesion or by becoming a constituent of dental materials itself. Modern-day dental resin composites are composed of resin matrix, free radical initiator, inhibitor, filler particles (lithium aluminosilicate, silica, or boron silicate), and silane coupling agents. Silane coupling agent is used to ensure durable bonding between the filler particles and the resin matrix. Development of new silane coupling agents, their optimization, and surface treatment methods are in progress to address the long-term resin bond durability. This development in turn will increase the consumption of silane coupling agents in the future. Development of next-generation antibiotics will also increase the need for silane coupling agents by pharmaceutical manufacturers.

APAC accounted for the largest share of the Silane coupling agents market in 2020. The market in the region is growing because of increased foreign investments because of cheap labor and availability of raw materials. The APAC silane coupling agents market has been growing rapidly over the past few years with the rising income level of the middle-class population and increasing government investments, especially in the automotive & transportation and building & construction sectors.
