“Rising Adoption in Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Advanced Mobility Solutions”
- The growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and next-gen mobility is driving increased usage of silicone elastomers in battery insulation, thermal management, and sensor protection due to their excellent heat resistance and dielectric properties
- Manufacturers are innovating silicone elastomer grades tailored for high-voltage components, connectors, and EV battery modules, responding to the rising need for safety and performance in compact automotive designs
- As global automotive brands commit to carbon neutrality and electrification, the demand for high-performance, durable materials such as silicone elastomers is rapidly accelerating
- For instance, in February 2025, Wacker Chemie AG introduced a new silicone-based thermal interface material specifically for EV battery packs, aiming to enhance both safety and longevity of EVs
- This trend is expected to propel silicone elastomer adoption across the automotive and transportation industry, reinforcing its strategic importance in the future of mobility
