Highlights
In 2019, China’s silicon industry entered a period of intensive capacity expansion. Aside from the capacity expansion projects of the established silicone monomer producers, new players also started to emerge, and the market competition intensified. Under the influence of factors such as shrinking silicone export affected by the trade war, weak downstream buying appetites and the operating rate at silicone producers reaching maximum, the demand and supply of silicone in H1 of 2019 were severely imbalanced, and its price dropped drastically. However, in H2 of this year, due to the pressure from several sources including environmental inspections and safety supervision, the operating rate at silicone monomer producers went down noticeably from the same period of last year. As a result, the silicone price bottomed out and it turned out to be better than the previous market anticipation overall. In terms of downstream demand, affected by the combined impact of the deteriorating external environment and internal adjustment factors, the end demand turned weak. In the meantime, the cash flow pressure at SMEs was relatively high, and they were prone to avoid risks.
In 2019, China’s silicone market was in an apparent stalemate, and the pricing power of sellers weakened. In the future, a spike of new silicone monomer capacity release is anticipated in 2020-2021, while the growth of downstream demand is expected to slow down. Will there be an oversupply in China’s silicone market? What will be the changes in silicone export if the China-U.S. trade dispute escalates? How can silicone monomer producers develop during the period of rapid capacity expansion? Will the silicone price hit another record low under the downward pressure in China’s economic growth? With multiple questions in concern, SCI’s 2019-2020 China Silicone Market Annual Report will interpret the changes and forecast the future development trend of the industry through comprehensive data analysis.
