Leading downstream silicone companies revealed strong demand in the cosmetics industry in the first half of the year, with orders generally increasing by 10%-15% year-on-year, and product prices remaining stable.

Last week, the domestic silicone market showed a stable to slightly strong trend. Prices from major monomer manufacturers in Shandong, a bellwether for the industry, remained stable at 12,300 yuan/ton, while other monomer companies generally adopted a closed-price strategy, resulting in tight spot market conditions. The average transaction prices for various products were: DMC 12,450 yuan/ton, 107 glue 13,550 yuan/ton, raw rubber 13,450 yuan/ton, and silicone oil 14,550 yuan/ton, showing an overall slight upward trend.
