my country’s spherical silicone industry chain has been formed and output is gradually increasing

Spherical silica gel refers to a kind of spherical silica gel particles with a particle size of 2.0 to 8.0 mm. It has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, smooth surface, excellent dispersion and fluidity, high specific surface area and porosity, and can be mixed with other materials. According to different pore sizes, spherical silica gel can be roughly divided into large pore size, medium pore size, small pore size, etc.; according to different application fields, spherical silica gel can be roughly divided into pharmaceutical grade, food grade, chemical grade, etc.

At present, my country’s spherical silicone industry chain has basically been formed. The upstream of the industrial chain is mainly the raw material industry, providing methylchlorosilane, silica and other raw materials; the midstream is mainly the spherical silica gel production industry, responsible for the production and manufacturing of spherical silica gel; the downstream is mainly the application field, and spherical silica gel is mainly used for production Moisture-proof agents, desiccants, catalysts, anti-rust agents and other products are widely used in medicine, chemical industry, food and other fields.

In the field of food industry, spherical silica gel can maintain the taste and flavor of food and extend the shelf life of food by virtue of its moisture-proof and fresh-keeping advantages. In the medical field, spherical silica gel is mostly used as an adsorbent and catalyst to prevent drug deterioration and increase drug stability. In the electronic field, spherical silica gel is mostly used to produce screens for electronic products. It can enhance the toughness of electronic screens, protect the integrity of the screen, and thereby extend the service life of electronic products. In addition, spherical silica gel particles can also improve the humidity and texture of cosmetics and enhance the comfort of the product. Overall, my country’s spherical silicone consumer market is relatively broad.

According to the “2023-2027 In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report on the Spherical Silicone Industry” released by the Industrial Research Center, in the downstream Driven by market demand, the production scale of my country’s spherical silicone enterprises has gradually expanded, and output has increased. In 2022, my country’s spherical silica gel production will be 357,600 tons.

From the perspective of sales channels, my country’s spherical silicone sales channels can be roughly divided into offline channels such as specialty stores, department stores, and commercial exhibitions, and online sales channels such as Taobao, JD.com, and Pinduoduo. At present, my country’s spherical silicone market has formed a sales pattern with offline channels as the main channel and online channels as the supplement. With the rapid development of my country’s e-commerce platforms, the proportion of spherical silicone online channel sales may gradually increase in the future.

Industry analysts said that foreign spherical silica gel companies mainly include ZEOchem, Sorbtech, Wacker, etc., and domestic large-scale spherical silica gel companies mainly include There are Huanyu Chemical, Meigao Group, Wande Electronics, etc. my country’s spherical silicone enterprises started late, have weak R&D capabilities, and there is a certain gap between production technology and international advanced production levels. In recent years, my country’s spherical silicone enterprises have developed rapidly, with continuous improvement in R&D capabilities and innovation capabilities, gradual upgrades in production technology, and accelerated product update and iteration.
