Thermally Conductive Elastomers Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product type (Thermal Silica Gel, Other), By Application (Automotive & Transportation, Electrical & Electronics, Industrial Machines, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The conductive elastomer is a form of elastomer used to transfer electrons or thermal energy and  deliver environmental sealing. In thermal conductive elastomers, the core material is commonly made of silicone, EPDM and fluorosilicone. The most widely used chemicals that are employed to cause thermal and electrical conductivity are silica and black carbon. This is accomplished by expelling conductive molecules such as carbon through raw resources. Such additives assist to boost the conductivity as well as the physical characteristics of elastomers.

Thermally conductive elastomer improves eliminate the volume of electromagnetic fields caused by electronic devices. Thus they have an increased application in electronic sector thus driving the market growth.  Demand for electronic devices has been growing rapidly, therefore  increasing market growth. However, materials like multicon and radthin are substitutes of thermally conductive elastomers, thus restraining the market growth.
