In China, the monthly average Silicone Oil price was ~RMB 16.74/kg in April and around RMB 15.79/kg in the subsequent month, showing a decrease of approx. 5.7% during the second quarter of 2026. Similarly, in India, the monthly average Silicone Oil price was ~INR 204.54/kg in April and approximately INR 194.64/kg in the subsequent month, showing a decrease of around 4.8%. This downturn was witnessed even with a conducive upstream support, whereby silicon metal prices were fairly steady and production optimization by manufacturers kept spot supply tight. Nonetheless, surplus inventory levels and balanced purchasing activity prevented any further rise in prices. In Germany, the monthly average Silicone Oil price was ~EUR 2.12/kg in April and around EUR 1.98/kg in the subsequent month, showing a decrease of ~6.7%, while in the USA, the monthly average Silicone Oil price was ~USD 2,426.00/MT in April and about USD 2,324.42/MT in the subsequent month, showing a decrease of ~4.2%. There were stable price fundamentals in both regions on account of adequate stock levels and moderate purchasing activities which outweighed favourable downstream demand backdrop. Demand from personal care, automotive fluids, construction chemicals, textile, industrial oils, defoamers, and electronics was stable during the quarter.

Silicone oil prices in China were about RMB 20.09/kg (FOB) in January and around RMB 20.08/kg in March, reflecting a marginal 0.03% decline over the period. In January, prices remained supported by stable downstream demand and firm cost structures, while feedstock conditions were relatively balanced. Post-Spring Festival, the market faced pressure as silicon metal and polysilicon prices weakened, reflecting softer upstream sentiment and limiting upward movement.
However, into March, cost-side pressures intensified despite weak upstream pricing, driven by geopolitical disruptions. The Iran war and logistical constraints in the Strait of Hormuz increased freight costs, insurance premiums, and energy-linked expenses, tightening supply chains and offsetting downward pressure. Major producers responded to rising costs, with companies such as SILIBASE shifting to dynamic pricing due to higher logistics surcharges and raw material volatility.
At the same time, global producers raised silicone prices amid supply chain disruptions, reflecting cost escalation across the value chain. Demand remained steady but cautious, with downstream industries adjusting procurement strategies in response to price uncertainty.
Silicone oil is a clear, odorless, and non-toxic liquid polymer made from repeating siloxane units. It is known for its thermal stability, low surface tension, and resistance to oxidation and moisture. With a wide range of viscosities, it remains stable under varying temperatures and does not easily evaporate. Its chemical inertness and lubricating qualities make it safe for use in many environments. Silicone oil is also non-flammable, non-corrosive, and biocompatible, which contributes to its versatility in everyday and specialized applications.

Silicone oil found widespread industrial applications due to its stability, lubricity, and resistance to heat and moisture. It was used as a lubricant in machinery and precision instruments, where conventional oils failed under extreme conditions. In the electrical industry, it served as an insulating and cooling fluid. The chemical industry employed it as a defoaming agent in processes involving foaming liquids. It also played roles in textiles, automotive fluids, and polishes, while serving as an additive in paints, coatings, and adhesives.
