LATEST UPDATES

First, the supply and demand in the monomer market are basically balanced, but the competition will become more intense. The point of view of basic balance has been discussed before. Due to the obvious trend of overcapacity in the monomer market in the future, the competition situation of monomer manufacturers must be severe, and the monomer production capacity will be concentrated to large factories faster.

Second, the country’s restrictions on the export of high-energy-consuming products are beneficial to organic silica gel manufacturers. This is mainly because metal silica gel, an important raw material of organic silica gel, is a high-energy-consuming product, and its export ratio is greatly reduced, which will help downstream organic silica gel manufacturers to reduce costs and obtain sufficient raw materials.

Third, the world economy is slowly recovering, and the light industry and textile industry are gradually recovering. At present, many people judge that the world economy will gradually recover in the second half of this year. Countries, including the United States, are gradually adopting exit policies. Organic silica gel is widely used in defoamer, surface treatment and vulcanization in the paper industry. In addition, high-temperature adhesives, sealants and silicone resins are widely used in the electronics industry, including home appliances, solar materials, computers, mobile phones, etc. in detail.

High-temperature glue, widely used in highways and high-speed rails. High-temperature adhesives, sealants and coupling agents are widely used in automobile manufacturing, oil pipelines, coatings, etc. Cosmetics, detergents and other industries use a large number of pesticide auxiliaries, dye auxiliaries, pharmaceutical auxiliaries, insecticides and fire extinguishing agents in the chemical industry. Silicone is also widely used. The industries mentioned above have great potential for future development and significant signs of recovery, which provides demand for the development of organic silica gel.

Fourth, competition from monomers has brought cost advantages to downstream manufacturers. Due to fierce competition in the future for monomers and insufficient motivation for price increases, this brings cost advantages to downstream manufacturers for deep processing of organic silica gel products.

Fifth, China’s organic silica gel has great potential for development. A statistical data shows that at present, the per capita organic silica gel consumption in the United States is 2 kg, 1.7 kg in Japan, but only 0.3 kg in China. From this point of view, China’s silicone industry still has considerable room for development. According to domestic statistics, the growth rate of the organic silicone industry is more than twice that of GDP. In the future, China’s economy will continue to develop at a high speed for a period of time, and accordingly, the silicone industry will continue to maintain a relatively high growth rate.
