The factors behind the fluctuation of silicone oil prices: the game between cost, technology, and market
As an important organic silicon material, the price fluctuation of silicone oil is influenced by multiple factors and is the result of a three-way game between cost, technology, and market. A deep understanding of these factors can help companies plan their production and business strategies rationally, and investors make wise investment decisions.


From a cost perspective, the main raw materials for silicone oil are organic silicon monomers such as dimethyldichlorosilane, and the production of organic silicon monomers relies on upstream raw materials such as industrial silicon and chloromethane. Therefore, fluctuations in upstream raw material prices will directly affect the production cost of silicone oil, thereby affecting the price of silicone oil. For example, when the price of industrial silicon rises, the production cost of silicone monomers increases. In order to maintain profit levels, silicone oil production companies often increase the sales price of silicone oil. In addition, energy prices, transportation costs, and other factors can also have a certain impact on the production cost of silicone oil.
