From 2008 to 2020, the import quantity of primary polysiloxane fluctuated and increased, of which China achieved net import of primary polysiloxane for the first time in 2014. In 2020, China imported 152000 tons of primary polysiloxane and exported 243000 tons to achieve a net export of 91000 tons.
The import quantity of organosilicon in China is increasing, while the export quantity is decreasing.
Before 2008, China's silicone products mainly relied on imports. With the rapid expansion of domestic production capacity, the domestic silicone technology and technology gradually matured, the domestic quality was continuously upgraded, and the localization process of silicone was promoted rapidly. the import of organosilicon showed a continuous downward trend. At the same time, with the transfer of world production capacity to China, local advantageous enterprises are also gradually expanding overseas markets, and China's silicone exports are growing rapidly.
According to the statistics of the General Administration of Customs, the import quantity of primary-shaped polysiloxane fluctuated and increased from 2008 to 2020, of which China achieved net import of primary-shaped polysiloxane for the first time in 2014. In 2020, China imported 152000 tons of primary polysiloxane and exported 243000 tons to achieve a net export of 91000 tons.
The amount of imports and exports fell slightly in 2020.
According to customs statistics, from 2010 to 2020, the change trend of China's primary polysiloxane import and export volume is roughly consistent with the import and export volume trend, the import volume fluctuation decreases, while the export volume fluctuation increases. In 2020, China's imports and exports of primary-shaped polysiloxane decreased slightly, to US $818 million and US $723 million respectively.
China's high-end silicone products still rely heavily on imports.
The average unit price of China's primary polysiloxane imports fluctuated from 2010 to 2020, reaching 6887 US dollars / ton in 2018 and 5392 US dollars / ton in 2020; the average export unit price remained between 2700 and 4200 US dollars / ton, and the average export unit price in 2020 was 2975 US dollars / ton.
In recent years, the price of DMC in China has increased greatly.
From 2006 to 2016, the price fluctuation of organosilicon industry decreased, from 27300 yuan / ton in 2006 to 13700 yuan / ton. From 2016 to 2021, the silicone industry in China developed rapidly, and the price of organosilicon products rose sharply to 33300 yuan / ton, but since September 2020, the price of organosilicon has fallen sharply.
The main reason is, on the one hand, due to the high cost of downstream enterprises, the addition has been reduced; on the other hand, due to the impact of Sino-US trade frictions, the growth rate of domestic demand has slowed and the volume of exports has As of April 2, 2021, the price of DMC has reached 29833.33 yuan per ton.
China's apparent consumption of organosilicon will reach 1.15 million tons in 2020
From the demand side, in the past ten years, the demand for organosilicon products in China is more exuberant, and the demand has maintained a rapid growth. According to SAGSI statistics, in 2019, China's apparent consumption of polysiloxane (including production + net imports) reached 1.09 million tons, an increase of 4.81 percent over the same period last year. It is estimated that China's apparent consumption of polysiloxane will reach 1.15 million tons in 2020, an increase of 5.50% over the same period last year.
China's silicone production continues to rise in 2020
According to the statistics of (SAGSI), the national strategic alliance for green development of silicon industry, China's polysiloxane production increased continuously from 2010 to 2019, reaching 1.18 million tons in 2019, an increase of 4.42% over the same period last year. China's polysiloxane production is expected to reach 1.23 million tons in 2020, an increase of 3.9% over the same period last year.
