On March 26, the domestic market forcracked silicone oil showed a good shipment momentum, with the mainstream quotation stable at 12,800–13,100 RMB/ton, unchanged from the previous trading day. Market feedback indicates that cracked silicone oil enterprises have a strong bargaining power, as the current supply of raw materials is sufficient and the production rhythm is stable, while downstream demand for low-cost silicone oil remains strong, especially from small and medium-sized silicone product manufacturers seeking cost control.
Most cracked silicone oil producers have received sufficient orders, with shipment schedules arranged until early April, and some enterprises even suspended accepting new orders temporarily due to tight production capacity.
In contrast, the market for waste silicone scrap (silicone scrap edges) remains stable with sufficient supply, and the arrival price is maintained at 3,300–3,500 RMB/ton (excluding tax). The supply of waste silicone scrap exceeds demand, as a large number of downstream silicone product processing enterprises have increased the output of scrap edges, while the demand from recycling enterprises has not increased significantly, leading to intensified competition among waste silicone recycling enterprises and a slowdown in shipment rhythm. Industry insiders point out that the current supply-demand pattern is tilted toward cracked silicone oil enterprises, and with the continuous increase in upstream raw material prices, the price gap between cracked silicone oil and virgin silicone oil may further widen, which will continue to drive the demand for cracked silicone oil in the short term.
