Friends in the chemical industry, let's talk about the market of silicone monomers today!

The silicone monomer market has been a bit "lively" recently. Take the first week after the Spring Festival as an example. Major companies have started work one after another, and the silicone industry has also started to operate. However, at present, the price of silicone is still hovering at the bottom.

From the supply side, the operating rate of monomer units during the Spring Festival was quite high, reaching about 75%, so the supply pressure is not small. Many places have maintenance plans for units, such as Shandong's 700,000-ton annual unit, which will be shut down for maintenance in late February, Hebei's unit has a regular maintenance plan in February, and Jiangxi's unit will be partially shut down for maintenance until late February.
On the demand side, the middle and lower reaches have just resumed work, and demand is average. In the construction adhesive market, some manufacturers had more sales before the holiday, and there was a low demand for raw materials; in the photovoltaic adhesive market, component manufacturers had sufficient stock before the holiday, but slow resumption of work after the holiday, and weak willingness to purchase; the electronic adhesive market was somewhat dynamic, and the new subsidy policy for the purchase of digital and home appliances such as mobile phones made it possible to release the demand for electronic adhesive.

The overall market is currently in a state of supply pressure and demand slowly recovering. But everyone is still confident in the market, and both upstream and downstream hope to pull up a wave to stimulate order growth.

In the long run, the development trend of silicone monomers is also worthy of attention. Now more and more companies realize that they need to strengthen upstream and downstream exchanges, jointly develop new products, and form a close industrial chain cooperation relationship, so that the silicone industry can develop better. Moreover, with the advancement of technology and changes in market demand, silicone monomers will definitely find their place in more new fields, and the future is promising!
