Global Silicone Market – Growth Restraints
Fluctuating prices of raw materials are majorly hampering the silicone market growth. Government agencies such as the UK Competent Authorities and the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has impose reduction on the usage of cyclosiloxanes D4 and D5, used in cosmetic and personal care industry.
Both the silicone products are expected to be limited to a concentration of 0.1% by weight in cosmetic formulations.
In medical sector, silicone are considered medical-grade only if they meet the standards of USP Class V and VI. Furthermore, silicone manufacturers have to fulfil various regulations including, Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), the Dodd-Frank Act, and the US government’s International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) for production of silicone rubber used in healthcare sector. The entire process is time-intensive, thus, putting strain on market revenue pool.
