In 2026, China’s organosilicon exports are demonstrating a clear trend of “stable volume, higher value, and structural optimization.” General Administration of Customs data shows that from January to February, exports of organosilicon intermediates (including DMC and D4) totaled 58,000 metric tons—a modest 2.3% year-on-year increase—but export value reached USD 192 million, up 11.7%, indicating significantly improved unit pricing.
This shift stems from dual policy and market drivers. Starting January 2026, China’s Ministry of Finance eliminated export tax rebates for certain low-end organosilicon products, explicitly encouraging high-value exports. In response, companies accelerated product upgrading: functional silanes (e.g., aminosilanes, epoxysilanes), electronic-grade silicone oils, and medical-grade silicones now account for 27% of exports—up from 18% in 2024.
Regional diversification is also underway. Asia remains the dominant market (62% share), but demand from Europe and North America is growing rapidly. European buyers, facing domestic capacity cuts, are increasing imports of high-purity silicones; U.S. semiconductor and medical device manufacturers are sourcing more electronic-grade materials. Companies like Jingxin New Materials and Hongbai New Materials have secured international certifications (UL, ISO 10993, REACH) and entered supply chains for Tesla, Siemens, and Medtronic.
