Market Segmentation  

The hexamethyldisiloxane market share is classified into purity level and application.        

• The 99% segment held the largest share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the purity level, the hexamethyldisiloxane market is divided into 99%, 99.5%, 99.9%, and others. Among these, the 99% segment held the largest share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. A 99% purity level of hexamethyldisiloxane is often used in situations where ultra-high purity is not a need. Industries like electronics and chemical intermediates, which need dependable performance but can handle lower purity levels, are the main factors of the 99% purity level market.  

• The pharmaceuticals segment held the largest share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on the application, the hexamethyldisiloxane market is divided into pharmaceuticals, electronics, personal care, chemical intermediates, and others. Among these, the pharmaceuticals segment held the largest share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Hexamethyldisiloxane is primarily utilized as a reagent in the pharmaceutical industry to synthesize complicated chemical compounds, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The usage of premium-grade hexamethyldisiloxane is further required by the strict rules and quality requirements of the pharmaceutical sector, which supports the expansion of the category.
