With the development and progress of my country's organosilicon industry, the state's encouragement policy for the organosilicon industry has gradually extended from monomer production to deep processing of organosilicon, development of new organosilicon products, expansion of new application fields, and improvement of comprehensive utilization levels. As the world's largest producer of silicone, by the end of 2020, the total production capacity of 11 monomer manufacturers in China is about 3500 kt/a, which is equivalent to about 1750 kt/a of siloxane; The alkane production is about 1440 kt.

In 2021, in the face of severe challenges such as the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the intensification of Sino-US frictions and the cyclical adjustment of the industry, silicone enterprises actively responded, and realized the reversal of production and operation from a difficult start, to a strong break, and then to a stable victory. Exports were significantly better than expected. From January to December 2020, the total import volume of primary polysiloxane in my country was 151 689 t, a year-on-year increase of 11.2%; the total export volume was 242 740 t, a year-on-year increase of 8.5%; the total import volume was 818 million US dollars, a year-on-year decrease 2.6%; the total export value was US$723 million, down 4.2% year-on-year; the average import price was US$5,390/t, down 12.4% year-on-year; the average export price was US$2,979/t, down 11.7% year-on-year; among which, the average import price was higher than the average export price 80.9% higher, and the gap between the two fell by 1.5 percentage points year-on-year.

The overall development situation of the silicone industry is good, and the continuous and steady growth of upstream silicone intermediate materials provides sufficient raw material guarantee for downstream development. The mid- and downstream silicone products are moving towards the research and development and serialization of high-end products, focusing on aerospace, high-end equipment, electronic information, new energy, automobile manufacturing, rail transit, energy conservation and environmental protection, medical health, and defense and military industries. The development of national pillar industries such as construction and automobiles, and the development of national strategic emerging industries such as new infrastructure and new energy have brought new development opportunities for the downstream industry of silicone. With the improvement of national consumption level, the requirements of end users for brand, quality and service continue to increase, and the trend of the market tilting towards leading enterprises is becoming more and more obvious.
