Over the past week (from February 10th to February 16th, 2025), the organic silicon market, particularly the price of dimethyl cyclosiloxane (DMC), has experienced significant fluctuations. The following is an analysis of the price movements during this period.

Overall, the price of DMC has shown an upward trend throughout the week. Specifically, on February 10th, the quoted price of DMC was 12,840 yuan per ton, and the price showed an upward momentum on that day. In the following days, the price continued to climb. By February 13th, the market price had reached 13,160 yuan per ton, indicating strong upward momentum. And by February 14th, the price further increased to 13,200 yuan per ton. Although the price remained stable on certain days, such as February 11th, the overall upward trend remained unchanged.

Entering the second half of the week, the upward price trend continued. On February 15th, the quoted price of DMC from Luxi Chemical had reached 12,800 yuan per ton (although this price was slightly lower than other market quotes, it still reflected the upward trend in prices). According to comprehensive market information, domestic DMC prices generally ranged between 13,000 and 13,500 yuan per ton during the week, with some leading enterprises, such as Hesheng Organic Silicon, quoting even higher prices.

Analyzing the reasons for the price fluctuations, the increase in organic silicon prices was mainly influenced by supply and demand. On the one hand, with the stabilization and recovery of the domestic real estate industry, as well as the rapid development of emerging industries such as photovoltaics and automobiles, the demand for organic silicon continued to increase. On the other hand, the peak of organic silicon industry expansion has passed, and the supply landscape has improved. Some enterprises have even further pushed up market prices due to maintenance and production cuts.

In summary, the price of organic silicon, especially DMC, has shown a significant upward trend over the past week. This trend is expected to continue in the coming period, but the specific magnitude of the increase will depend on market dynamics and changes in supply and demand. For industry practitioners, it is important to closely monitor market trends and reasonably arrange production and procurement plans to cope with price fluctuations.
