This week, the silicone oil market for cracking materials is under pressure. Due to weak demand and cost pressures, the price adjustment space for cracking material enterprises is limited. The current price excluding tax remains between 12700-13800 yuan/ton. The order atmosphere is light, and the downstream maintains a small order procurement mode for essential needs.

However, as new material prices continue to rise, cracking material companies have successfully taken on some substitute orders with a price advantage of 1500-2000 yuan/ton. If new materials continue to rise in the future, the market share of cracking materials is expected to further expand.
In terms of the waste silicone market, the price of waste silicone excluding tax this week is stuck in the range of 4300-4500 yuan/ton. Under the influence of price increases, silicon product companies are severely reluctant to sell. There is a certain gap between the purchase price of traders and the psychological expected price of silicon product factories, resulting in a standoff between the two sides. There is a price difference of 200-300 yuan/ton between the purchase price of traders and the psychological expectations of manufacturers, leading to a stalemate in market trading.
It is expected that the price of waste silicone will maintain a volatile consolidation pattern in the short term. The follow-up trend needs to pay attention to the changes in upstream and downstream inventory and the transmission effect of new material prices. For silicone oil companies producing cracking materials, how to maintain competitiveness under market pressure will be an important issue for future development.
