• The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that 85% of industrial-grade silicone caps maintain integrity in temperatures ranging from -60°C to 250°C, making them highly reliable for harsh environments.

Thermal Management Need is on the rise due to the increasing adoption of Electric Vehicles

More adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is another very important driver in the Thermal Silicone Caps market. EV batteries and other structures and components cause significant thermal generation, therefore call for thermal management solutions. Due to efforts by governments to encourage use of environmentally-friendly vehicles and increasing interest from buyers in electric vehicles, the market for highly sophisticated Thermal Silicone Caps is expected to grow larger.

Restraining Factor

Problems regarding the Global supply chain makes the process of manufacturing and delivering Fish affectively difficult

Currently one of the key concerns for Thermal Silicone Caps market growth is the persisting disruptions in the supply chains across the world. Market constraints are instability in political regions, the corona virus outbreak, and transport constrains which resulted in delays in production of key material. This is not conducive for market growth since it will be hard for manufacturers to supply the market’s demands at any one time.

• As reported by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), silicone raw materials cost approximately $3–$5 per kilogram, which is 20–30% higher than alternative plastics used in thermal applications.

• According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), only 18% of silicone-based materials are currently recycled globally, which limits adoption in environmentally-conscious sectors.

Development of Electric Cars Fatories Increases Silicone Thermal Caps Requirements

Opportunity

The surging global demand of electrical vehicles (EVs) is a major probable for the Thermal Silicone Caps market. Since EV batteries and power electronics need efficient cooling, the need for efficient thermal management solutions is increasing.
