What restraints the growth of global silicone oil market?

“The price-sensitive nature of the market”

The price-sensitive nature of the market acts as a restraint for the global silicone oil market. Although widely used in various industries, silicone oil can be relatively expensive compared to alternative materials. This price factor can limit its adoption, particularly in price-sensitive markets or industries where cost considerations play a significant role in decision-making. The higher cost of silicone oil may deter potential buyers or lead to a preference for lower-priced alternatives. Manufacturers and suppliers must address the price sensitivity by offering competitive pricing strategies or developing cost-effective silicone oil formulations to mitigate this restraint and expand market penetration.
