This week, the mixed rubber market remained relatively stable, with prices stabilizing between 13000-13800 yuan/ton. However, behind this seemingly calm market, there are hidden currents surging, and a price storm driven by downstream demand is brewing.
The rubber mixing market: nurturing changes amidst stability
Although there was no significant fluctuation in the price of raw rubber this week, the mixed rubber market did not remain silent as a result. On the contrary, with the increasing stocking demand of downstream silicon product enterprises, the mixed rubber market has begun to show signs of activity. Especially in the context of trade disputes, overseas channel merchants prepare goods in advance and place orders 2 months in advance, bringing additional demand growth to the rubber mixing market.

However, in terms of price, rubber mixing enterprises still face the dilemma of low price competition. In the fierce market competition, some companies have to adopt a follow strategy in order to maintain market share, resulting in weak price growth. But this also provides opportunities for enterprises with core competitiveness, who have successfully achieved differentiated competition by improving product quality, optimizing production processes, and other means, thus standing out in the wave of price increases.
Silicon product companies: busy stocking up, looking forward to price rebound
Faced with subtle changes in the rubber mixing market, silicon product companies have shown high sensitivity. Based on last week's market trend, they have already made some preparations in advance. However, due to the moderate increase in the price of mixed rubber, silicon product companies still maintain a cautious attitude when purchasing, and buying at low prices has become the mainstream strategy.
However, as the peak season of spring approaches, the demand in related fields such as small household appliances and daily chemical products will further increase. Silicon product companies generally have a positive outlook on the market prospects, believing that with the increase in demand and rising costs, the price of mixed rubber is expected to usher in a new round of price increases. Therefore, they are actively adjusting their inventory management strategies to prepare for the upcoming wave of price increases.
