Analysis of factors influencing market trends
Supply side: After the New Year's Day holiday, although the operating rate of domestic silicone manufacturers did not increase significantly, some companies reduced their market supply due to maintenance plans. Coupled with the gradual tightening of logistics and transportation before the holiday, the short-term market supply has slightly contracted.
Demand side: Downstream silicone rubber and silicone oil manufacturers have increased their purchasing activity to meet order fulfillment needs before the Chinese New Year. The increase in orders, particularly from high-end sectors such as new energy and electronics, has driven up the actual demand for silicone DMC, shifting the supply-demand balance towards a tighter market.
Cost side: In early January, the market for silicon metal, a key component in the production of silicone DMC, remained stable, providing relatively stable cost support for silicone DMC.
Market outlook
Currently, the silicone DMC market is experiencing a relatively positive trading atmosphere, with market participants holding optimistic sentiments. Demand is continuing to pick up ahead of the holidays, and market expectations for the future remain generally positive. According to data analysts at SunSirs, the domestic silicone DMC market is expected to remain stable to slightly stronger in the short term, although further developments in supply and demand should be closely monitored.
