自動車用シリコーン市場の2030年までの予測：製品別、用途別、地域別の世界分析

Stratistics MRCによると、世界の自動車用シリコーン市場は2023年に26億5,000万米ドルを占め、予測期間中のCAGRは10.3％で成長し、2030年には52億7,000万米ドルに達すると予測されています。

自動車用シリコーン市場は、自動車分野におけるシリコーンベースの材料や製品の生産、流通、利用に焦点を当てた産業セグメントを指します。シリコーンは、高温耐性、柔軟性、耐久性などの顕著な特性を持つ汎用性の高いポリマーであり、様々な自動車部品に広く応用されています。これらのシリコーンベースのソリューションは、自動車システムの性能、信頼性、寿命の向上に重要な役割を果たしています。

OICAによると、2021年1～9月の自動車総生産台数は3,267万台で、前年同期比で11%増加しました。

自動車生産台数の増加

自動車産業の生産活動が急増するにつれて、シリコーンのような先端材料への需要が高まっています。シリコーンの高温耐性、柔軟性、耐久性などのユニークな特性により、様々な自動車部品に好んで使用されています。従来型自動車の生産台数の増加に加え、電気自動車（EV）の需要が増加しているため、シリコーンはガスケット、シール、接着剤、熱管理ソリューションなどの重要な用途で幅広く使用されています。さらに、自動車メーカーが自動車の性能、効率を高め、厳しい環境基準に適合させようとしているため、シリコーンの汎用性が最も重要になっています。

変動する原料価格

シリコーンの生産には、金属シリコンのような主要な原材料が使用されるが、その価格は世界の需給関係や地政学的な出来事などの要因により変動する可能性があります。原材料価格の変動は、シリコーンメーカーにとってコスト予測可能性という点で課題となり、生産費全体に影響を及ぼします。こうした不確実性は生産コストの上昇につながり、自動車市場におけるシリコーンベースの製品の競合に影響を与える可能性があります。しかし、価格の変動はメーカーの利益率に影響し、エンドユーザー向けの価格調整が必要になる可能性があるため、自動車用途でのシリコーン材料の採用全体に影響を与える可能性があります。

軽量材料の需要

軽量で汎用性の高い材料であるシリコーンは、自動車メーカーがますます軽量化戦略を優先するようになる中で、その重要性を増しています。厳しい排ガス規制や持続可能性が重視される中、様々な自動車用途でより重い材料に代わるシリコーンの役割は極めて重要になっています。さらに、シリコーンホース、ガスケット、シールは、耐久性と性能を維持しながら、自動車全体の軽量化に貢献しています。

代替材料との激しい競合

自動車業界では、性能、費用対効果、環境の持続可能性のバランスを提供する材料の継続的な探求に立ち会う。シリコーンは高温耐性や柔軟性といった独自の利点を提供する一方で、熱可塑性プラスチックやフッ素樹脂のような代替材料との激しい競合に直面しています。これらの代替材料は競争力のある解決策を提示することが多く、より低いコストや特定の自動車要件を満たす特定の性能特性を持つこともあります。製造業者やエンドユーザーは、用途固有のニーズ、規制への対応、コスト面などの要因に基づいて代替材料を選択することがあります。

COVID-19の影響：

自動車産業は、生産の中断、サプライチェーンの制約、消費者需要の減少に直面し、自動車製造の減少につながった。その結果、自動車用シリコーン製品に対する需要は、パンデミックの初期段階で減速しました。サプライチェーンの中断、製造業務の制限、経済の不確実性は、自動車用シリコーン市場の生産側と消費側の両方に影響を与えました。しかし、業界が新たな規範に適応して回復するにつれて、自動車の衛生と安全への注目が高まり、内装におけるシリコーンベースのソリューションの需要を牽引しました。

予測期間中、エラストマーセグメントが最大となる見込み

シリコーンエラストマーのユニークな特性により、様々な自動車用途で不可欠な存在となっているため、エラストマーセグメントは予測期間中に最大となる見込みです。柔軟性、耐久性、極端な温度への耐性で知られるシリコーンエラストマーは、ガスケット、シール、優れた弾性を必要とする部品に幅広く使用されています。自動車メーカーが燃費向上のために軽量素材を優先する傾向が強まる中、シリコーンエラストマーは性能を犠牲にすることなく理想的なソリューションを提供します。

予測期間中、サスペンションシステム分野のCAGRが最も高くなると予想される

サスペンションシステム分野は、予測期間中に最も高いCAGRが見込まれます。シリコーンのブッシュとマウントは、振動を和らげ、ノイズを低減することで、乗り心地の改善に貢献します。過酷な環境条件に耐え、劣化しにくいシリコーンの能力は、サスペンション部品の寿命と性能を向上させる。自動車メーカーが全体的な乗り心地とハンドリングの向上に努める中、サスペンションシステムにおけるシリコーンの使用は不可欠となっています。さらに、滑らかな乗り心地、騒音の低減、耐久性の向上に対する需要の高まりが、自動車用シリコーン市場のサスペンションシステム部門を後押ししており、自動車工学と設計の進歩におけるシリコーンの極めて重要な役割を示しています。

最大シェア地域

アジア太平洋地域は、推定期間を通じて市場で最大のシェアを占めました。同地域では、急速な都市化、可処分所得の増加、中間層の増加により、自動車の美観、快適性、性能への注目が高まっています。さらに、厳しい環境規制が電気自動車へのシリコンの採用を促進し、市場をさらに押し上げています。排出ガスの削減と車両効率の向上への注目が高まっているため、地域全体の政府によって厳しい環境基準や規制が課されています。

CAGRが最も高い地域：

アジア太平洋地域は、実現可能な期間に有益な成長を遂げると予測されます。自動車メーカーがこうした規制の遵守に努める中、シリコーンベースのソリューションへの傾倒が高まっています。耐熱性や軽量性など、シリコーン独自の特性により、燃費や排ガス低減に貢献する部品として好まれています。さらに、電気自動車（EV）に向けたこの地域の動きは、バッテリーシステムや熱管理などの重要な用途におけるシリコーン需要をさらに高めています。
