In recent years, the demand for organic silicon exports in China has grown significantly, and the export regions have been continuously enriched. According to statistics from the General Administration of Customs, the export volume of primary shaped polydimethylsiloxane in China will be 546000 tons in 2024, a year-on-year increase of 34.3%. Behind this significant growth, there are both opportunities and challenges.
From the perspective of opportunities, with the recovery of the global economy and the continuous expansion of the application field of organosilicon, the demand for organosilicon products in the international market continues to grow. Especially in the fields of new energy, electronics, and construction, the application of organic silicon materials is becoming increasingly widespread, providing broad development space for export markets. At the same time, with the expansion of domestic organic silicon production capacity and the improvement of technology, the quality and competitiveness of organic silicon products in China are constantly improving, which has won more opportunities for the export market.
However, challenges also exist. On the one hand, international market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and companies from various countries are actively seizing market share. In order to maintain competitiveness, Chinese silicone enterprises need to continuously improve product quality and technological content, reduce production costs, and better meet market demand. On the other hand, the uncertainty of the international trade environment also brings risks to the export market. Measures such as tariff barriers and trade protectionism may affect the export of organic silicon products in China.
In order to address these challenges, Chinese silicone enterprises need to strengthen market research and analysis, understand the demand and trends of the international market, and develop targeted export strategies. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen cooperation and exchanges with international peers to jointly promote the development of the silicone industry. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen brand building and promotion, enhance the visibility and reputation of China's organic silicon products, and lay a solid foundation for the export market.
Article 8: Collaborative Development of Organic Silicon Industry Chain: Comprehensive Upgrade from Raw Materials to Terminals
The organic silicon industry chain is a complex system that covers multiple links such as raw materials, intermediates, and end products. In order to achieve higher quality development, upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain need to strengthen collaboration and cooperation, and jointly promote the upgrading and transformation of the entire industry.
On the raw material side, enterprises need to strengthen the research and procurement management of raw materials to ensure their quality and stability. At the same time, it is also necessary to actively introduce new technologies and equipment to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the recycling of raw materials and the treatment of waste, and promote the green development of the industrial chain.
In the intermediate stage, enterprises need to focus on technological innovation and product research and development, continuously improving the quality and performance of intermediates. By introducing advanced technology and equipment, optimizing production processes and procedures, and other measures, production costs can be reduced and production efficiency can be improved. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen cooperation and communication with upstream and downstream enterprises to jointly promote the development of the industrial chain.
In the terminal product stage, enterprises need to pay attention to changes in market demand and trends in consumer preferences, and continuously develop new products and application areas. By strengthening market research and analysis, improving product quality and service levels, and other measures, we aim to gain more market share and customer trust. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen brand building and promotion, and improve the visibility and reputation of end products.
In order to achieve coordinated development of the industrial chain, upstream and downstream enterprises need to establish close cooperative relationships and communication mechanisms. Strengthen mutual understanding and trust through regular communication, information sharing, technical cooperation, and other means. At the same time, it is also necessary to jointly develop industry standards and norms to promote the standardization and standardized development of the industrial chain.
