Latest industry data reveals that the global market for fluorosilicone rubber (FVMQ) and phenyl silicone rubber grew by 12% in the first quarter of 2026, with the aerospace and deep space exploration sectors contributing over 45% of this demand. Driven by the "Tianwen-2" asteroid mission and the new-generation crewed spacecraft "Mengzhou," the need for materials capable of withstanding extreme temperatures (-70°C to 260°C), aviation fuel, and radiation has reached record highs. The report indicates that traditional sealing materials can no longer meet the rigorous requirements of supersonic aircraft and long-term space habitat equipment. Fluorosilicone liquid adhesives with superior oil resistance and low-temperature flexibility, along with methylphenylvinyl silicone rubbers capable of resisting intense cosmic radiation, have become strategic supplies in the supply chain. Several leading material manufacturers stated that their high-end production lines are operating at full capacity, with the supply-demand gap expected to persist throughout the year, accelerating the industry's shift towards high-performance and customized solutions.
