Summary: On April 19, 2026, high-end functional silicone products such as high-thermal-conductivity silicone oil and medical-grade LSR remain in tight supply, with strong demand driven by AI, new energy and medical industries.
BEIJING, April 19, 2026 — With the rapid development of AI, new energy vehicles and medical industries, the demand for high-end functional silicone products continues to surge, leading to tight market supply.
On April 19, 2026, the quotation of high-thermal-conductivity silicone oil for AI liquid cooling and new energy vehicle thermal management rises by 50–100 yuan/ton compared with the previous day, with the mainstream quotation ranging from 28,500–30,500 yuan/ton. Due to the rapid expansion of AI data centers and the continuous growth of new energy vehicle production, the demand for high-thermal-conductivity silicone oil, which is used for heat dissipation, remains strong, and the market is in short supply.
Medical-grade LSR (liquid silicone rubber) quotations remain stable at 38,000–42,000 yuan/ton, with strong demand driven by the production of medical devices such as catheters and implants. Domestic enterprises are accelerating the research and development of medical-grade LSR to break the monopoly of foreign enterprises, but the supply gap still exists, leading to tight market supply.
Industry experts predict that the demand for high-end functional silicone products will continue to grow in the long term, and enterprises that focus on R&D and production of high-end products will gain more market share.
