In recent years, the domestic cosmetics raw materials sector has achieved a significant breakthrough with the successful development of a new gel material based on dimethyl silicone oil solvent-based silicone elastomers, significantly enhancing the texture and efficacy of skincare products. By optimizing the siloxane chain structure, this material imparts a unique "velvet" touch to products, combining moisturizing, spreadability, and breathability, thereby breaking the technological monopoly of foreign brands in the high-end skin feel modifier market.

According to the "2024-2029 China Silicone Elastomer Gel Industry Market In-Depth Research Report," the domestic silicone elastomer gel market reached 300 million yuan in 2023 and is expected to exceed 2 billion yuan by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of over 15%.

However, the high-end market remains dominated by international giants like Dow Chemical and Wacker Chemie, whose DOWSIL EL series products account for over 54% of the skincare market. Domestic companies are collaborating with academic institutions to overcome technical bottlenecks such as crosslinking control, gradually extending into high-end fields. For example, a Guangdong-based company, in partnership with universities, has developed "dynamic crosslinking technology," increasing the gel's temperature resistance to over 200°C, with applications in aerospace sealing materials.

Looking ahead, as consumer demand for premium skincare textures grows, domestic silicone elastomers are poised to achieve greater breakthroughs in the high-end market, driving the globalization of "Chinese ingredients."
