Polyether Modified Silicone Market Is Booming in Forthcoming Year with Top Key Players-DowDupont,KCC

Polyether modified silicone is an effective silicone non-ionic surface agent with a unique performance that is produced by the copolymerization of polyether and polydimethyl silicone. Numerous varieties of polyether modified silicone surface agents are manufactured with different performance aspects through change in the ratio of the polyether and polydimethyl silicone to meet diversified needs of various industries.
Polyether modified silicone is a transparent liquid having light yellow color. It is miscible with water. Polyether modified silicone is used in various industries such as agrochemicals, pharmaceutical, textile, personal care & cosmetics, and plastic processing.
In the personal care & cosmetic industry, polyether modified silicone is utilized as emulsifier and dispersants. In the paints & coating industry, polyether modified silicone is used as a levelling agent to improve the molecular friction and stress between the molecules. Thus, it has anti-foaming effect.
Polyether modified silicone is also employed as an ingredient in the formulation of delayed coking defoamers and self-emulsifying defoamers in the downstream industry. Polyether modified silicone is highly effective as spreading and welting agent of glyphosates for reducing pollution. It is also used as a foam stabilizer in the manufacture of polyurethane foam for uniform foam making.

Outstanding properties of polyether modified silicone such as water solubility, dispersing & emulsifying abilities, and usefulness in stabilizing water-oil system are key factors boosting the demand for polyether modified silicone in various industries such as agrochemicals, textile, cosmetics & personal care, and plastic processing
Changing lifestyle, rising per capita income, and availability of advanced skin and hair care cosmetic products such as sun care products, moisturizing creams, color cosmetics, and hair conditioner are factors driving the cosmetic industry across the globe. This, in turn, is expected to fuel the demand for polyether modified silicone in the cosmetic industry across the globe during the forecast period.
Presence of alternative products of polyether modified silicone is anticipated to hamper the market in the next few years

In terms of end-use, the global polyether modified silicone market can be segmented into cosmetics & personal care, pharmaceutical, agrochemicals, plastic processing, textile, paints & coatings, refineries, and others
The cosmetics & personal care segment is expected to capture significant share of the global polyether modified silicone market in the near future, owing to increase in standard of living and rise in disposable income of the people

Several governments and private sector businesses are operating at a limited capacity or have ceased operations completely due to recent events surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Manufacturing of consumer goods across the globe came to a halt due to the unavailability of raw materials, shortage of labor, and other reasons. This is expected to hamper the polyether modified silicone market.
COVID-19 is affecting the global economy in three major ways: hampering production and demand, creating supply chain and market disruption, and by adverse economic impact on companies

In terms of region, the global polyether modified silicone market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa
Sustainable growth of various end-use industries in Asia Pacific makes it a highly lucrative region of the global polyether modified silicone market. Asia Pacific is estimated to account for dominant share of the global polyether modified silicone market, owing to high consumption of cosmetics, agrochemicals, textile, and plastic processing products, especially in China, India, and ASEAN countries.
