Last week, the Chinese gas-phase silica market maintained a stable operating trend, and there has been no adjustment in enterprise quotations. However, with the support of downstream demand, the prices of raw materials such as methyl trichlorosilane and silicon tetrachloride have risen, bringing new upward momentum to the gas-phase silica market.

The upward trend in the price of methyl trichlorosilane is mainly due to the sustained growth in downstream demand. With the increase in operating rates in terminal applications such as silicone rubber, the demand for methyl trichlorosilane continues to rise. Meanwhile, the tight supply of silicon tetrachloride has also led to an increase in its price, further pushing up the production cost of gas-phase silica.
Driven by the rise in raw material prices, gas-phase silica companies have begun to adjust their sales strategies, resulting in an increase in new transactions. Although the market supply remains stable, the recovery of downstream demand has brought positive changes to the gas-phase silica market.
In the short term, the tightening of raw material supply and the good performance of downstream demand will become dual positive factors supporting the price increase of gas-phase silica. It is expected that the market price of gas-phase silica will maintain a stable upward trend in the coming period, bringing new development opportunities to the industry.
