With the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the silicone market has entered its first week after the holiday. During this week, the price of raw material DMC (dimethyl cyclic siloxane) remained relatively stable, laying a solid foundation for the recovery of the entire organic silicon industry chain. Major production enterprises, including 107 rubber, raw rubber, mixed rubber, and silicone oil, have resumed work and continued their pre holiday pricing strategies, with overall quotations remaining stable.

From the perspective of market supply and demand, the demand in downstream and terminal markets is gradually recovering after the holiday, but it has not yet been fully released. This has led both buyers and sellers to enter a critical period of order delivery and inventory digestion. Many companies are still digesting pre holiday inventory, and market inquiries and transactions are relatively weak. However, with the gradual recovery of market demand, it is expected that more orders will emerge in the near future, driving an increase in market activity.
On the raw material side, DMC, as one of the main raw materials for organosilicon, its price stability is crucial for the smooth operation of the market. At present, the mainstream DMC quotation is between 12600-13500 yuan/ton, reflecting the current supply-demand balance in the market. At the same time, the price of silicon metal remains stable, while the slight drop in methanol prices has led to a slight decrease in costs, but this change has limited impact on the market price of organic silicon.
Looking ahead, with the gradual recovery of market demand and the deployment of new production capacity, the silicone market will face even more intense competition. However, in the context of stricter environmental policies and industrial upgrading, enterprises with technological and environmental advantages will be more competitive. Therefore, enterprises should strengthen technological innovation and environmental protection investment, improve product quality and service level to cope with future market challenges.
Meanwhile, market participants should also closely monitor the impact of external factors such as international crude oil prices and exchange rate fluctuations on the market. These factors may lead to fluctuations in raw material prices, which in turn can affect the price trend of the silicone market. Therefore, enterprises should establish a sound risk management system to cope with potential market risks.
