I. Price Market Description
As shown by the Business Society commodity market analysis system, in early January 2026, the price trend of silicone DMC exhibited a pattern of "stability followed by an increase," with the overall market shifting from stable operation to a phased upward movement. At the beginning of the month, the silicone DMC market remained largely stable, with minimal fluctuations in the market. Trading activity was moderate, and market participants adopted a wait-and-see approach, with industry supply and demand in a temporary state of balance. Starting from the 11th, the silicone DMC market broke the stable pattern observed earlier in the month, with prices experiencing a substantial increase. By the 15th, domestic silicone DMC prices had steadily risen to around 13,700–14,000 yuan/ton.
II. Analysis of Factors Influencing Market Trends
Supply Side: After the New Year holiday, although the operating rates of domestic silicone DMC producers did not see a significant increase, some companies reduced market supply due to maintenance plans. Coupled with the gradual tightening of logistics and transportation before the holiday, short-term market supply experienced a slight contraction.
Demand Side: Downstream silicone rubber, silicone oil, and other product manufacturers increased their purchasing activity in response to pre-holiday order stocking needs. Particularly, the growth in orders from high-end sectors such as new energy and electronics drove the actual demand for silicone DMC, shifting the supply-demand balance toward a tighter direction.
Cost Side: In early January, the cost side of silicone DMC, primarily the metal silicon market, remained stable, providing relatively steady cost support for silicone DMC.
Market Outlook
Currently, the trading atmosphere in the silicone DMC market is favorable, with industry participants maintaining a positive outlook. Pre-holiday market demand continues to expand, and expectations for the future market are optimistic. Business Society silicone DMC analysts predict that, in the short term, the domestic silicone DMC market will likely operate with a stable to strong trend. However, close attention should be paid to changes in supply and demand dynamics.
