Details:
The metal silicon market remained firm in late April 2026, with spot prices fluctuating slightly upward amid balanced supply and demand. The mainstream quotation for 421# metal silicon (the primary grade used in silicone production) was 8,600–8,650 RMB/ton on April 29, representing a week-on-week increase of 20–30 RMB/ton. The market is supported by several factors: first, high energy costs (electricity, coal) in major production areas such as Yunnan and Sichuan, which keep production costs elevated; second, strict environmental protection policies and production capacity controls, which limit supply growth; third, steady demand from downstream silicone and polysilicon manufacturers. As a key raw material for silicone production, metal silicon price stability is crucial for cost control in the silicone industry. Hongye Silicone, maintaining long-term purchasing cooperation with reputable metal silicon suppliers in Yunnan, has effectively locked in raw material costs and avoided the impact of short-term price fluctuations. The stable metal silicon price provides a solid cost foundation for Hongye Silicone’s production and operation, enabling the company to maintain product price stability and competitiveness in the global market while ensuring consistent product quality.
