Recently, the organosilicon industry has shown three key highlights: optimization of supply and demand, technological breakthroughs, and explosive growth in high-end demand, indicating a strong development momentum.
On the supply-demand side, the industry’s efforts to “reverse internal competition” have shown significant results. In November, leading companies such as HOSHI Silicon and Luxi Chemical spearheaded a consensus to cut production by over 30% and raise prices to 13,500 RMB/ton. As of November 21, the price of intermediates had risen 18.2% compared with early November, and the industry’s average gross profit increased by 2,650 RMB/ton. Coupled with the completion of expansion cycles and policies phasing out small-scale capacity, the supply-demand structure continues to improve.
In the technological field, a milestone breakthrough has been achieved. The Bluestar Aiken team published an important paper in Science, demonstrating that using a gallium catalyst can increase the reaction rate of organosilicon waste recycling at 40°C by 1 million times. This waste can be converted into high-purity chlorosilanes for cyclic reuse, successfully addressing a major environmental challenge in the industry.
On the demand side, growth is particularly remarkable. High-end demand is being driven by industries such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaics, and humanoid robots. For instance, the amount of silicon used per new energy vehicle is seven times that of a conventional vehicle, and the silicon usage for TOPCon solar cells has increased by 40%. From January to September 2025, domestic apparent consumption rose 19.6% year-on-year. Meanwhile, the pace of domestic substitution is accelerating: Silibao Technology’s 99.95% pure encapsulation adhesive replaces imports, and HOSHI Silicon’s medical-grade silicone fills a domestic market gap.
