Analysis of the silicone market on January 15, 2025


On January 15, 2025, the silicone market showed a certain stability and fine-tuning trend. Against the backdrop of global economic fluctuations and industry transformation, China's silicone market is undergoing positive changes. Several major companies jointly announced that they will be committed to promoting a development strategy of no internal circulation, no internal war, and no internal consumption in 2025, focusing on grasping the balance of product quantity and price. This strategy not only brings stable expectations to the market, but also adds firepower to the inventory replenishment market at the end of the year.


From the specific price trend, the base price of silicone DMC released by Sino-Trade on January 15 was 13020.00 yuan/ton, which was 0.76% lower than the beginning of this month (13120.00 yuan/ton). This change is relatively small, showing that the market has maintained a certain stability at the current stage. At the same time, the quotations of different companies also show certain differences. For example, the DMC quotations of Xinghuo, Hesheng and Luxi are 13,700 yuan/ton, 13,500 yuan/ton and 12,900 yuan/ton respectively, and the market increase is about 1-2%. These differences reflect the differences in production costs, sales strategies and market expectations of different companies.


In terms of supply, with the gradual clarification of the 2025 goals, the industry's call for promoting product demand has become increasingly louder. Enterprises will focus on improving the supply structure, and controlling the increase, optimizing the stock and improving the quality have become the common goals of the industry. It is expected that by 2025, with the commissioning of new devices in Shandong and Hubei, the supply of the entire market will be improved. This will help alleviate the current situation of oversupply and create more opportunities for the market.


In terms of demand, with the accelerated release of market demand for silicone products, prices have also shown a certain firm trend. Through the early pre-sale operations, the leading monomer companies have effectively reduced inventory pressure, making the contract price basis stronger, and traders generally follow the increase in quotations. Such market reactions to a certain extent reflect the industry's optimistic expectations for future development. Especially in the critical period of replenishing inventory at the end of the year, the demand for silicone products from downstream enterprises has further increased, providing strong support for the market.


From the perspective of technological progress, the silicone industry is moving towards a higher technological content and sustainable development track. The application of new technologies has greatly reduced the thermal contact time of the production process, thereby reducing equipment costs and energy consumption. This will help improve the production efficiency and market competitiveness of enterprises and further promote the development of the entire silicone industry.


Looking to the future, the silicone market will usher in more opportunities and challenges. Against the background of global economic integration and intensified market competition, enterprises need to continuously innovate and optimize their products and services to meet market needs and changes. At the same time, policy guidance and market opportunities will also provide enterprises with more development space and opportunities. We look forward to the silicone industry continuing to maintain a stable growth trend in the future development, bringing more convenience and beauty to people's lives.


In summary, the silicone market on January 15, 2025 showed a certain stability and fine-tuning trend. Under the joint effect of quantity and price balance, supply improvement and transformation promotion, the market will maintain stable operation. At the same time, companies also need to seize the opportunity to replenish inventory, make full use of policy and market opportunities, and promote technological and product innovation to achieve sustainable development.
