Core Sentence: Domestic mainstream silicone prices held steady on March 25, with DMC at 14,300 RMB/ton, supported by tight supply from emission cuts and resilient demand across traditional and new energy sectors.
As of March 25, 2026, domestic mainstream silicone product prices maintain a stable and strong posture, with no major fluctuations in spot quotations and moderate on-site transactions, continuing the steady upward trend since the industry’s recovery. The benchmark dimethyl cyclosiloxane (DMC) remains at a consolidated mainstream price of 14,300 RMB/ton on a net water basis, while 107 glue, a key raw material for silicone sealants, holds at14,800 RMB/ton, and methyl vinyl silicone raw rubber stays at 15,100 RMB/ton. Market traders report that today’s trading volume is slightly higher than the previous working day, driven by small-batch restocking from downstream sealant and adhesive manufacturers, though large-scale procurement remains cautious as buyers adopt a wait-and-see attitude toward short-term price trends.
Industry insiders note that the current price stability is backed by tight supply and resilient demand. Strict environmental emission cuts (35% industry-wide reduction) in effect March–May continue to cap output at small and medium-sized facilities, keeping overall supply tight. On the demand side, traditional construction and home appliance sectors maintain steady rigid demand, while the new energy sector (EVs and photovoltaics) provides incremental support. Upstream producers are firm on pricing, with no price cuts observed despite occasional slow order flows, and inventory levels remain under control across the industrial chain. Analysts point out that the cumulative 3,000 RMB/ton gain in DMC since November 2025 has lifted most producers back to profitability, ending the industry’s prolonged loss-making cycle. With no new large-scale capacity scheduled for 2026 and overseas supply shrinking, prices are expected to stay range-bound with limited downside risk in the near term, laying a solid foundation for the industry’s healthy and high-quality development.
