Last week, the Chinese gas-phase silica market maintained stable operation, and there was no adjustment in enterprise quotations. This performance is mainly due to the relative stability of the raw material market and the gradual recovery of downstream demand.
On the raw material side, the price of methyltrichlorosilane fluctuates at a low level, while the price of silicon tetrachloride remains high. This combination of raw material prices has had a certain impact on the production cost and market price of gas-phase silica. However, due to the high production process and technological threshold of gas-phase silica, competition among enterprises is relatively mild.

On the demand side, as downstream enterprises gradually resume work after the holiday, the demand for gas-phase silica is also gradually recovering. However, due to the relatively loose supply-demand relationship in the market, enterprises mainly rely on consuming pre holiday inventory to maintain operations. Therefore, in the short term, the price of gas-phase silica will maintain a consolidating trend.
Looking ahead, with the rapid development of emerging industries such as new energy vehicles and 5G communication, the market demand for gas-phase silica, as an important functional material, will continue to grow. Meanwhile, with the tightening of environmental policies and the promotion of industrial upgrading, enterprises with environmental and technological advantages will become more competitive.
Therefore, gas-phase silica enterprises should seize market opportunities, strengthen technological innovation and environmental protection investment, and improve product quality and service levels. At the same time, we should actively explore emerging market areas and expand our customer base to meet future market challenges.
