Asia
During Q2’26, Silicone prices in China were ~USD 2,103.69/MT in April and ~USD 2,175.00/MT in June, showing a ~3.4% increase. Similarly, in India, silicone prices increased from ~USD 2,153.69/MT in April to ~USD 2,263.00/MT in June. The market strengthened during April as production restrictions, maintenance activities and controlled availability reduced spot supply. Operating rates remained limited, encouraging producers to maintain firmer offers. Conditions weakened later as buyers became cautious and feedstock support declined. Lower methyl chloride costs and improved silicon-metal availability reduced production-cost pressure, while downstream users shifted toward immediate purchasing. trends.
Europe
Silicone prices were supported by producer price adjustments during Q2, driven by higher raw material, energy, logistics and maintenance expenses. Suppliers implemented increases across silicone products as production costs remained elevated. Demand conditions were mixed, with European construction activity providing limited support, with battery-electric vehicle registrations rising 27.9% year on year in key European markets during May, supporting silicone use in sealing, insulation, thermal management and electronic applications. However, weaker building construction limited stronger demand growth from sealants and related products.
North America
Silicone prices increased to ~USD 2,190.69/MT in April and ~USD 2,330.00/MT in June, showing a ~6.4% increase. The market received support from higher producer costs and demand from electronics, personal care and construction applications. U.S. construction spending witnessed minor increase of 0.4% month on month in April, supporting silicone sealants and building materials. Specialty silicone demand also benefited from investments in semiconductor, power-electronics and thermal-management applications. Capacity additions in advanced silicone manufacturing are expected to improve future supply flexibility.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, silicone prices are expected to remain supported by specialty applications, while broader market movement will depend on raw material costs and downstream demand.

Asia
In Asia, silicone prices in China increased by approximately ~2.92% from January to March 2026, while prices in India rose by approximately ~0.19% during the same period. The regional market remained supported by tightening silicon metal supply and controlled plant operating rates after the Lunar New Year holidays. Supply conditions tightened further as producers maintained cautious operating rates despite improving downstream demand. Demand from electronics, construction sealants, industrial coatings, and automotive applications gradually recovered through March, supporting stronger restocking activity. In India, stable import demand and elevated freight expenses supported the market, while disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz increased insurance and shipping costs for imported materials and downstream silicone products.
Europe
European silicone markets remained firm during Q1’26 due to improving industrial and semiconductor-related demand. Regional buyers faced higher import costs because of rising freight charges and logistical disruptions linked to Middle East geopolitical tensions. Demand from electronics, specialty coatings, healthcare, and industrial applications supported procurement activity despite cautious purchasing behavior. Semiconductor-grade polysilicon and silicone demand improved steadily during the quarter, while constrained Asian exports and higher energy costs continued to support European market sentiment.
North America
In North America, silicone prices in the USA increased by approximately ~2.92% from January to March 2026. The regional market remained supported by stable downstream demand from EV components, electronics, adhesives, and construction-related applications. Elevated transportation and import costs resulting from global shipping disruptions increased landed material prices during the quarter. Market participants maintained conservative inventory strategies amid volatile international trade conditions, although recovering semiconductor and automotive activity provided steady consumption support. Supply-chain uncertainty and higher logistics costs linked to disruptions in global energy trade flows also contributed to firmer regional sentiment.
A silicone or polysiloxane is essentially any of the several polymers that incorporate any synthetic product comprising repeating units of silicon and oxygen atoms linked together with carbon, hydrogen, or occasionally additional elements. Silicone is frequently liquid, rubber-like, and heat-resistant. It is frequently used in thermal and electrical insulations, sealants, adhesives, lubricants, pharmaceuticals, and culinary utensils. Typical forms include silicone caulk, silicone rubber, silicone resin, silicone oil, silicone grease, and silicone rubber.
