The development of my country's organic silicon monomer industry is accelerating

In recent years, the production capacity and output of organic silicon monomers in China have continued to grow
.
By the end of 2021, the production capacity and production of methyl siloxane in China will exceed 60% of the global total, and the consumption will exceed 50% of the global total, and it is still in a stage of rapid development
.
It is estimated that by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the production capacity of organic silicon monomers in China will exceed 6 million tons per year, accounting for more than 70% of the global production capacity of organic silicon methyl monomers
.
However, from the analysis of the import and export status of siloxanes in the primary form in China, high-end silicone products still rely on imports, and the phenomenon of big but not strong still exists
.

Capacity continues to rise

During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the production capacity, output and load rate of organic silicon monomers in China continued to increase

According to statistics, from 2012 to 2021, the compound annual growth rate of China's organic silicon monomer production capacity is 6.

From 2012 to 2021, the compound annual growth rate of China's organic silicon monomer production is 10.

　　Based on the known planned expansion and new projects, it is expected that the growth trend of China's organic silicon monomer production capacity will continue during the "14th Five-Year Plan"

　　According to statistics, the 3 companies that have successfully commissioned in the first quarter of 2022 will have an additional production capacity of 700,000 tons/year of organic silicon monomers

　　The rapid expansion of organic silicon monomers is conducive to balancing the market

　　However, it is worth noting that the enthusiasm for investment in organic silicon monomers is high, and new and renovation projects continue to increase rapidly.

　　export growth

　　China's primary form of siloxane import and export products mainly include dimethyl cyclosiloxane mixture (DMC), silicone oil, raw rubber, liquid silicone rubber (LSR), compounded silicone rubber, sealant, 107 glue,

　　It is understood that in 2014, China's primary form of siloxane achieved net export for the first time, and then the net export volume of China's primary form of siloxane continued to rise

　　From 2012 to 2021, the compound annual growth rate of China's primary form of siloxane exports was 16.

　　From 2012 to 2021, China's primary form of siloxane exports continued to rise, with a compound growth rate of 14.

　　Affected by factors such as the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the high cost of overseas silicones, the production capacity of foreign silicone monomers may be withdrawn one after another in recent years.

　　Lack of high-end products

　　Although the production capacity of siloxanes in primary form has increased significantly in recent years, high-end products still rely on imports

　　In the past 10 years, the change trend of China's primary form of siloxane import value is consistent with the import volume

　　From the analysis of the average unit price of imports, from 2012 to 2021, the average import price of siloxanes in the primary form in China increased slightly, with a compound growth rate of 2.

　　To sum up, with the rapid expansion of China's siloxane production capacity and the upgrading of enterprise technology, China's low- and mid-end siloxane products have gradually achieved import substitution, but high-end products, especially high-value-added products of silicone terminals, still need to rely on imports.
It is necessary to pay attention to R&D investment and new product development, so as to bring greater profit margins to the enterprise
