During the forecast period, the dimethyldichlorosilane market is anticipated to grow at a promising CAGR of 4.8 percent. The global market is expected to generate US$ 1.19 billion in sales in 2022 and US$ 2.48 billion by the end of 2032.
Dimethyldichlorosilane reacts with water to give rise to linear as well as cyclic Silicon Oxide chains. Dimethyldichlorosilane is synthesized on an industrial scale as a precursor to dimethyl silicone and polysilane compounds. The history of Dimethyldichlorosilane dates back to 1863, but the first successful synthesis of Dimethyldichlorosilane took place in 1930.
The Dow Corning Company which was initially conceived as a partnership between General Electric, Corning Glass Works, and Dow Chemical Company demonstrated the first successful synthesis of dimethyldichlorosilane on an industrial scale.
However, the direct process which is used today in the synthesis of dimethyldichlorosilane involves the reaction of elemental silicon with methyl chloride in the presence of a catalyst which is primarily copper.
