Entering the new month, the organosilicon market seems to maintain a calm surface, yet undercurrents are stirring. Most enterprises are quietly pausing quotations, gathering momentum for a new wave of market movements.
Specifically, supported by decent prior transaction volumes and expectations of future positive trends, monomer manufacturers hold a firm stance on price support, acting as a key pillar for the market. However, on the flip side, signals of a recovery in the end-market remain vague, with feedback on actual shipments falling short of expectations. This has directly caused downstream and midstream enterprises to slow down their stockpiling pace, leaving the timing of this month’s regular stockpiling window still up for observation.
The current market shows distinct divergence: a strong atmosphere of price support coexists with bearish sentiment, leaving both upstream and downstream players in a state of indecision. Against this backdrop, most enterprises have adopted a cautious strategy of “stockpiling only when needed, watching more and acting less.” In the short term, upstream and downstream players are likely to focus on fulfilling pre-sold orders, and the organosilicon market is expected to continue operating steadily.
