On November 19, China's major manufacturers resumed quoting prices for silicone DMC (dimethylcyclosiloxane mixture). The domestic silicone DMC market experienced a strong rebound, with prices for DMC—a core silicone product—reaching RMB13,200 per ton in Central, North, and East China on November 19. This represents a RMB2,200 per ton increase from late October, marking a 20% surge.
DMC primarily serves as an organosilicon intermediate for producing silicone rubber, silicone oil, and other products used in electronics, household chemicals, textiles, healthcare, automotive, construction, energy, and power sectors. Kaiyuan Securities research indicates that recent organosilicon price increases stem from the industry's positive response to the national “anti-internal competition” policy. Currently, monomer manufacturers still hold some pre-sale orders, with inventory pressure remaining low and strong market sentiment supporting price stability.
Previously, on November 12, major silicone DMC monomer manufacturers convened an industry meeting in Shandong. Following the meeting, Shandong-based monomer manufacturers raised their quotations to 12,500RMB/ton, while other manufacturers set quotations no lower than 12,000 yuan/ton, with most continuing to suspend quotations. Another industry meeting is expected on the 18th to discuss capacity reductions and restart a new round of pricing. At that time, silicone production is planned to be cut by 30%, potentially driving spot prices higher.
