The Global Alkyl silicone oil market Size is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% during the period 2021-2028 and reach USD 1,836 million by 2028. The growth can be attributed to the rising demand for personal care products owing to increased awareness among consumers about skincare and increasing disposable income levels.
Alkyl silicone oil is a clear, colorless, and odorless fluid that is typically produced by the condensation of organic silicon compounds with an organohalogen compound. As they have excellent properties such as low volatility to water, high viscosity in cold conditions, and good adhesion strength for various substrates, alkyl silicone oils find widespread applications in industrial sectors like healthcare & hospital products, construction materials (e.g., paints), pigments/dyes manufacture, etc. Alkyl silicone oils also exhibit excellent resistance to heat aging due to their chemical stability which makes them suitable for use under extreme conditions such as high temperatures or extensive storage periods e.g., during cooking). They are extensively used in the pharmaceuticals field for the manufacturing of tablets; their anti-adhesive property is also used as a release agent to avoid product sticking on the surface during tablet coating.
On the basis of Types, the market is segmented into Liquid, Wax, and Others. The liquid is the most commonly used alkyl silicone oil type due to its low viscosity which makes them suitable for use in liquid pharmaceuticals & personal care products.
Liquid alkyl silicone is a type of liquid oil. It has been used in personal care and cosmetics for many years due to its slippery, lightweight texture. In recent times it's seen increased usage for other applications such as food production equipment lubricant and greasing machinery parts, but the majority still goes into product formulations that are applied next to the skin.
This is the most viscous form of silicone oil and also has a relatively high melting point. Wax alkyl silicones are often used in hair care as they have excellent moisturizing properties which can help to prevent dryness, static electricity, frizz, and breakage. Other uses for this type of silicone include waterproofing and adding gloss or shine to surfaces such as car paintwork or glassware.
On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into Personal Care, Cosmetics, and Others. The personal care segment is expected to dominate the market over the period of 2028.
Alkyl silicone is used in personal care products such as hair conditioners and shampoos to ensure that the product will not block pores or enter into contact with skin. It also works as a surfactant, which reduces the surface tension between polar (water) and nonpolar molecules (oil). This process helps create foam so that it can be applied onto the scalp for easy rinsing. Alkylsiloxane is also used as an agent for deodorants, where it prevents or reduces odor by blocking sweat from being released onto clothes; this property has given birth to new liquid-based antiperspirant sprays that use Alkylsiloxanes as their primary ingredient.
Alkyl silicone oils are also important constituents of cosmetic formulations such as hair conditioners; they act by reducing static electricity on dry or wet hair. Alkyl silicone is a type of synthetic silicon-based oil with special properties. It helps to prevent skin and hair from drying out, making it one of the most popular ingredients in many cosmetic products today. For example, The lotion you apply before going outside on an especially cold day might contain alkyl silicone because when applied topically, this element can create a barrier that protects your skin from moisture loss. Alkylsiloxanes also has emollient properties which help hydrate and soften dry or sensitive skin by improving its elasticity. Its water repellent capability also makes it perfect for use in cleansing agents where dirt gets trapped between the space within eyelashes, creating blackheads or whiteheads—this property helps to prevent these “spots” from forming by preventing dirt particles from getting trapped.
On the basis of Region, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa. North America is the leading market and held the major share of the regional alkyl silicone oil market owing to a rise in organic personal care products, which require higher levels of purity.
The global alkyl silicone oil market is expected to grow in the coming years due to factors such as increasing demand for organic personal care products, which require higher levels of purity. Another factor that will drive growth is the growing focus on sustainability and ethical sourcing among customers globally. Furthermore, increased penetration of small business retailers has led to an increase in the number of product launches across all categories.
Lastly, technological innovations are also a key driver for this market’s growth with companies introducing innovative ingredients or formulations every year. For instance, L'Oreal introduced its Oleo Miracle Nourishing Oil two decades ago when it was felt by experts that heavy oils were too greasy; instead, they designed a light yet nourishing oil.
