On April 7, 2026, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) launched a large-scale reverse repo operation of 800 billion yuan to maintain reasonably ample liquidity in the financial system and stabilize market funding costs.
This macro liquidity support is expected to drive a gradual recovery in downstream major demand sectors for silicone products:
-
Infrastructure and real estate construction sectors will benefit from improved financing conditions, increasing demand for architectural silicone sealants, structural adhesives, and weatherproofing materials
-
The new energy vehicle (NEV) industry chain will maintain rapid expansion, supporting consumption of silicone thermal management materials, potting adhesives, insulating rubber, and shock absorption parts
-
Renewable energy projects including photovoltaic and wind power will continue to expand, boosting demand for high-temperature-resistant and weather-resistant silicone materials
Market institutions believe that the combination of stable macro liquidity, tight silicone supply, and cost support will form a relatively favorable market environment for silicone prices and enterprise profitability in the second quarter.
