Raw Material Prices: DMC Stabilizes at 14,200–14,600 Yuan/T

Center Sentence: On April 13, 2026, mainstream silicone DMC (Dimethyl Cyclosiloxane) prices remain stable with limited fluctuation, as downstream buyers maintain a wait-and-see attitude, short-term supply and demand stays in balance, and methanol cost support remains mild, keeping the entire silicone raw material market in a prudent consolidation stage.

Detailed Market Performance & Data:

Mainstream reference prices (tax-included, delivered to destination, China):
- DMC (dimethyl cyclosiloxane): 14,200–14,600 yuan/ton, with an average price of 14,400 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous trading day. East China, the core production area, accounts for 65% of domestic supply, with quotations concentrated at 14,300–14,500 yuan/ton; North China quotations are slightly lower at 14,200–14,400 yuan/ton due to regional supply competition.
- 107 silicone rubber: 14,300–14,700 yuan/ton, consistent with DMC price trends, with no obvious price adjustment by major manufacturers.
- Solid raw silicone rubber: 14,900–15,400 yuan/ton, a slight 50-yuan/ton increase in some regions due to tight supply of upstream solid materials.
- Dimethyl silicone oil (industrial grade): 15,800–16,800 yuan/ton, stable with no price fluctuations, as downstream demand for daily chemical and mechanical lubrication remains flat.
- Methanol (raw material for silicone monomer): 2,480–2,520 yuan/ton, up 30 yuan/ton slightly from April 12, but still at a low level overall, providing only mild cost support for silicone monomers.
Supply side: Domestic DMC operating rate stands at 66.2% (April 10–12), up 0.6 percentage points week-on-week. Major monomer plants (Hesheng Silicon Industry, Dongyue Silicone, Xinan Chemical) operate stably with full production capacity; some small and medium-sized plants in Shandong and Jiangsu have resumed production, slightly increasing market supply, but overall supply remains tight due to pre-sold orders.
Demand side: Downstream manufacturers (sealant, silicone rubber compound, electronics) maintain a cautious wait-and-see attitude, mainly purchasing on demand to avoid inventory risks. Architectural sealant factories have a low inventory level of 20–30 days, and there is no large-scale restocking plan for the time being; electronic silicone buyers focus on small-batch, high-frequency purchases to meet production needs.
Market sentiment: Most monomer producers keep quotations stable with no obvious upward or downward momentum, and negotiation space is limited (within 50–100 yuan/ton). Analysts predict that DMC prices will remain stable in the short term, and a new round of price adjustment may be triggered only when downstream demand picks up significantly or methanol prices surge.
