China's organic silicon industry development status

China’s organic silicon industry started late, but scaled production is rapid. With the advantages of raw materials and labor costs, more and more monomer companies have begun to build factories and put into production. The degree of import dependence has gradually weakened, and organic silicon products are used as textiles, As for the supporting products of home appliances, electronics, automobiles and other products, with the increase in exports of these products, organic silicon products have also been exported accordingly. In addition, foreign manufacturers (Dow Corning, Wacker) have established factories in China, and have improved the technology of China’s organic silicon products. The promotion played an important role, and colleagues also demonstrated the export of organic silicon products in China.

According to data monitoring, the current total production capacity of organic silicon monomers in my country has reached 2.155 million tons (including the Zhangjiagang plant), accounting for about 43% of the total global production capacity. In 2010, my country's polysiloxane imports were about 196,000 tons, and the imports in 2013 At about 135,500 tons, an average annual decrease of about 11.2%; in 2010, my country’s export volume of polysiloxane was about 51,000 tons, and in 2013, the export volume was about 95,000 tons, an average annual increase of 25.6%. Many data show that China has already Beginning to gradually shift from importing countries to exporting countries.

According to incomplete statistics, there are as many as tens of thousands of silicone products in the world, and downstream companies are numerous and complex. As far as China is concerned, with the rapid development of monomer companies, it has provided the downstream companies with raw material guarantees and at the same time. Development Opportunities.

However, in recent years, the overcapacity of organic silicon monomers has become prominent, and various monomer companies have begun to expand and improve the original industrial chain, putting greater pressure on downstream companies that purchase organic silicon raw materials, and transformation and upgrading are imperative.

Individual industry: The situation of overcapacity is unlikely to change significantly in the next 2-3 years. Industry integration is proceeding quietly. How to gain a foothold in the torrent of integration has become the direction for the later development of individual enterprises. Analysts believe that perfecting the product industry chain, developing horizontal peripheral products and vertical high value-added products will become the mainstream of the market; production technology must learn from relatively developed foreign monomer technologies and be brave to innovate; comprehensive utilization of by-products is also a monomer An indispensable process for the sustainable development of enterprises.

Downstream companies: While individual companies improve the industrial chain, they will inevitably have an impact on independent downstream companies. In the future sustainable development of silicone rubber companies, high value-added, high-end areas and high-tech products will become the top priority. At the same time, China's silicon Rubber exports need to be strengthened. In the next few years, the growth rate of domestic silicone rubber consumption will gradually slow down. Exports are undoubtedly another shortcut for the sustainable development of enterprises. In addition, compared with foreign silicone rubber brands, China’s silicone rubber brand building and product There is a big gap in quality. In short, there is potential for sustainable development of downstream companies, but there are also pressures, risks and opportunities coexist.
