North America has been the dominant region in the global silicone gel market with a market share of 45.3%. Majority of the key manufacturers and suppliers of silicone gel are headquartered in countries like the U.S. and Canada. This gives North America an advantage in terms of strong R&D capabilities and innovation. Easy access to advanced manufacturing technologies and presence of a robust supply chain from raw materials to end-use industries further strengthens North America's position. Another key factor for North America's dominance is its large consumer base demanding silicone gel in various applications. Growing awareness about the unique benefits of silicone gel such as elasticity, durability and flexibility drives its demand in sectors such as electronics, health care, and personal care. Countries in the region have stringent regulatory requirements, which encourages manufacturers to consistently invest in product quality and safety. This ensures consumer confidence in silicone gel products sourced from North America.

Among other regions, Asia Pacific has emerged as the fastest growing market. There is a rapidly expanding middle-class population with increasing spending power in countries like China, India, Indonesia, and Thailand. This growing consumer demand is attracting several international companies to set up manufacturing bases in these developing Asian economies. Governments in Asia Pacific offer tax incentives and other favorable business policies to promote domestic production. As a result, silicone gel manufacturing is shifting from North America to the low-cost Asia Pacific region. While North America still leads by virtue of technology expertise and established market position, Asia Pacific is projected to gain significantly in terms of production volumes. This is strengthening Asia Pacific's position as a key exporter of silicone gel to other global markets. In addition, China has become a manufacturing hub for various end-use industries like electronics and automobile. This gives a further impetus to the growth of its silicone gel market.
