Recently, the silicone market has shown a stable operating trend. The domestic DMC market price remains stable, with an average price fluctuating around 12650 yuan/ton. However, behind this stable market lies a wave of fierce competition and strategic restructuring among enterprises.
Most manufacturing companies keep their quotes unchanged, but the performance differences between inventory and pre-sale orders put them in a dilemma between pricing and shipping. Today's market quotations and negotiation atmosphere remain stable overall, but the high inventory level in downstream markets has led most companies to adopt a wait-and-see attitude, and the transaction situation of new orders is not ideal.
On the raw material side, cost pressure remains high, and the silicon metal market maintains a weak and stable trend. The supply side is under short-term pressure due to the maintenance of local individual units, which undoubtedly exacerbates the tense atmosphere in the market. On the demand side, the market atmosphere is flat in the short term, lacking obvious positive factors to stimulate, which makes enterprises full of doubts and concerns about the future market trend.

In this context, the strategic restructuring of Eken Group has attracted widespread attention and discussion in the industry. As one of the leading companies in the silicone industry, Eken Group has decided to reduce its silicone business in response to current market challenges and future uncertainties. The "Silicone" department affected by this restructuring provides a comprehensive range of silicone products, serving multiple fields. However, facing the current market situation and competitive landscape, the group has to re-examine its business layout and strategic direction.
The group explained that this decision was influenced by a combination of multiple factors, including constantly changing market conditions, increasingly fierce competition, and strategic adjustments in business departments. Especially in the Chinese market, the continuous decline in the real estate market has led to overcapacity, which in turn affects the demand for construction products and puts pressure on sales prices. Therefore, Eken is actively researching various options, including selling its silicone division, to optimize resource allocation, enhance core competitiveness, and address future market challenges.
