This information is provided by FortuneBusiness Insights, in its report, titled, “Conductive SiliconeRubber Market, 2021-2028”.
According to our expert analysts, inelectrical applications, the use of conductive silicone rubber provides good
electromagnetic shielding as well as protection from electrostatic discharge.
Silicone rubbers with excellent elasticity, flexibility, and mechanical
qualities are known as conductive silicone rubbers. They have good thermal and
electrical conductivity. They are also resistant to heat, cold, and other
extreme weather situations.
COVID-19 Impacts:
Supply Chain Disruptions to HamperMarket Growth
There is no doubt that the COVID-19lockdown has considerably impacted production operations, resulting in
nationwide shutdowns of manufacturing facilities, manpower shortages, and
a global supply and demand chain downturn. According to studies, the outbreak
of COVID-19 caused a sharp drop in automotive production in 2020 due to a lack
of procedures in multiple countries around the globe. The disruption in the
conductive silicone rubber market was caused by changes in raw material supply
frequencies, logistics and shipping norms, and a lack of staff.

Drivers and Restraints:
Exceptional Properties Compared toNormal Conductors to Stimulate Growth
Conductive silicone rubbers are widelyemployed in a range of end-user industries due to their thermal and
electrically conductive properties. Electrically conductive silicone rubber is
used in conductors, cables, EMI shielding gaskets, and ESD shielding
applications in the electrical and electronics industries. EMP protection and
wave directing applications use silicone rubbers with conductive
characteristics. They are used in military and aerospace equipment because of
their EMI shielding properties. Silicone is chemically resistant,
biocompatible, and hypoallergenic due to its inert nature. The demand for
conductive silicone rubber has increased dramatically due to these excellent
qualities, further accelerating growth.
Regional Insights:
