Industry Analysis: Silicone Monomer Profit Margin Expected t
Keywords: Silicone DMC profit, price center, cost support, methanol price, supply control
During an industry online teleconference held on April 7, 2026, professional chemical analysts released an updated judgment on the profitability of China’s silicone industry throughout 2026.
According to the analysis:
-
The price center of silicone monomer (DMC) for the full year 2026 is expected to run within the range of 14,500 to 15,500 yuan/ton
-
Supported by high methanol costs, tight supply under environmental supervision, and downstream rigid demand, the industry will basically get rid of long-term meager profits or losses
-
The average profit margin per ton of DMC is expected to recover to 1,500 to 2,000 yuan, a significant improvement compared with 2024–2025
-
Although seasonal weak demand may appear in the second quarter, a strong rebound in terminal demand is expected in the second half of the year, which will fully support market stability
Leading integrated enterprises such as Hesheng Silicon Industry enjoy obvious advantages in raw material self-sufficiency and production cost control, and their profit elasticity will be more prominent in this round of industry recovery.
