Keywords: DMC price, silicone monomer, methanol cost, supply tightening, price surge
On April 8, 2026, mainstream domestic silicone monomer manufacturers officially raised their ex-factory prices again, pushing the spot price of DMC (dimethyl cyclosiloxane) above 15,600 yuan/ton, marking a new high in recent months.
Key product price updates (tax-included, delivered):
-
DMC: 15,600 yuan/ton (increased by nearly 1,100 yuan/ton in just three days)
-
107 silicone rubber: 15,500 yuan/ton
-
Solid raw silicone rubber: 16,100 yuan/ton (officially breaking through the 16,000 yuan/ton mark)
-
Domestic methyl silicone oil: 16,600 yuan/ton
This round of continuous price increases is supported by multiple strong factors:
-
Cost side: Methanol prices remain high, driving up production costs of silicone monomers.
-
Supply side: Environmental inspection efforts have been strengthened recently, and some small and medium-sized monomer devices have reduced production or suspended operation, leading to tight market supply.
-
Demand side: Downstream sealants, rubber products, and electronics manufacturers have begun to make appropriate inventory replenishments, supporting spot transactions.
Most monomer manufacturers maintained firm quotations and showed low willingness to negotiate, and the market’s bullish atmosphere continued to strengthen.
