is to be found in these countries. Notable is the historicaland current high rate of growth of the silicone industry.In Western Europe silicone elastomers dominate withover 4075, followed by silicone oils and associated productswith ca. 30% and silicone resins with ca. 10% of the totalconsumption, whereas in the USA silicone elastomersaccount for only 25% and silicone oils and their associatedproducts for ca. 65% of the total consumption.Since silicones are only partly based on petrochemicalproducts, they are not affected to the same extent as manypurely organic products by crude oil shortages and priceincreases. However, manufacture of the raw materialsilicon is very energy intensive.
