Wacker generated total sales of approximately €5.5 billion in 2025, down from €5.72 billion in 2024. The company’s four segments — Silicones, Polymers, Polysilicon, and Biosolutions — all experienced revenue declines. Wacker’s Silicones business segment manufactures silicone sealants, along with elastomers, emulsions, resins, and many other products. The segment’s total sales reached nearly €2.73 billion (approximately $3.2 billion) in 2025, compared to €2.81 billion (approximately $3.2 billion) in 2024. This represents a 3% decrease compared to 2024. The company does not provide specific adhesives/sealants-related sales and other information.

WACKER reports that the company is one of the world’s leading actors in the areas of potting compounds and silicone-based thermal interface materials.
