In recent years, the silicone industry has undergone a dramatic transformation from prosperity to adversity. The core of this transformation lies in the crazy expansion of the industry in the early stage and the current overcapacity. Faced with this dilemma, many leading companies have acknowledged that excessive expansion in the early stages is closely related to the current state of the industry.
Looking back, the silicone industry has attracted numerous companies due to its promising development prospects. In addition, the tax reductions and electricity price incentives provided by local governments to promote local economic development have led to more enterprises investing in the production and research and development of organic silicon. For a time, leading manufacturers in the industry have been expanding on a large scale through various financing methods, resulting in a rapid increase in production capacity.
However, this rapid expansion did not bring the expected market prosperity. On the contrary, due to the excessive release of production capacity, the industry quickly fell into a dilemma of oversupply. Combined with the downward trend of the export environment, the entire industry has entered a bottom adjustment stage. Some small businesses are facing the risk of elimination due to a lack of financial strength and economies of scale. At the same time, the concentration of the industry is constantly increasing, and the position of large enterprises in the market is becoming increasingly stable.
Faced with this dilemma, the silicone industry has begun to seek transformation and breakthroughs. On the one hand, enterprises are beginning to strengthen technological innovation and product research and development to enhance product added value and competitiveness. On the other hand, enterprises have also begun to strengthen internal management, reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency. At the same time, some companies have also begun to explore overseas markets and seek new growth points.
However, the road to transformation is not smooth sailing. Recently, a silicone company with a net profit exceeding 5 billion yuan failed to go public, which undoubtedly brought greater pressure to the industry. Against the backdrop of slowing IPO pace and strict entry controls, the financing and listing path for organic silicon companies has become increasingly difficult. This has led some companies to re-examine their development strategies and seek more stable and sustainable development paths.
Looking ahead, the silicone industry will still face many challenges. But with the continuous increase in industry concentration and the continuous transformation and upgrading of enterprises, we have reason to believe that the silicone industry will gradually overcome difficulties and usher in new development opportunities.
