Review and Prospect of the Development of Silicone Industry in the Past 40 Years


1. The steady growth of domestic economy is the guarantee for the shift of industrial focus downstream.


In the process of development of silicone industry in China, with the continuous expansion of silicone monomer devices and the improvement of technology level, the industry threshold is gradually lowered, the number of new entrants is increasing, and the competition is increasingly fierce. The high profit margin era of the original unit no longer exists, and the profit level tends to be reasonable. Each manufacturer gradually shifts its focus to downstream intermediates and products with high technology content and added value.


The consumption of organosilicon monomers in our country is increasing rapidly. The power of consumption growth of organosilicon comes from domestic market more. The dependence on international market tends to weaken. The economic situation of foreign countries is repeated from time to time. The domestic economy keeps steady growth. The development of construction, electronics and electrical appliances, automobile and other industries makes the market of organosilicon industry in our country. Further consolidation has led to the rising demand for downstream organosilicon products, making China the world's largest consumer market of organosilicon products, and accelerating the pace of downstream expansion of organosilicon monomer production enterprises.


2. Promoting the Development of Industry to High-end and Persisting in Independent Innovation


The main silicone monomer producers in the world have more than 50% self-processing ratio of silicone monomer. The production of silicone monomer and silicone material is integrated upstream and downstream. The overall economic benefit of enterprises is less affected by price fluctuation of silicone monomer, and enterprises have strong risk resistance. There is still a disconnection between the production enterprises of organosilicon monomers and the synthesis, application and development of downstream organosilicon materials in China, and the enterprises'risk resistance is weak. The unreasonable product structure and weak independent innovation ability are still the problems in silicone industry. It is the only way to adjust industrial structure, improve technological level and promote industrial development to high-end through technological innovation. Especially in the important fields of national defense, military industry and aerospace, the product technology applied by others will not be given to us easily. Therefore, independent innovation is particularly important.
