April 20, 2026 The latest industry market conditions on April 20 show that the overall operation of the domestic silica market is stable, and the price increase driven by the rise in raw material costs in the early stage has been implemented, and the current market price has entered a high and stable stage.

Affected by the sharp rise in the cost of core raw materials such as sulfuric acid, enterprises in Shandong, Fujian, Jiangxi and other major producing areas in China have previously uniformly raised the ex-factory price of precipitated silica by 500 yuan / ton, as of today, the mainstream transaction price of industrial rubber grade silica is 6300-7000 yuan / ton, and the price has not fluctuated significantly.

The foreign trade side continued to usher in good news, with a strong recovery in demand for overseas downstream tires and silicone products, domestic high-end silica export orders continued to grow, exports of highly dispersed and food-grade products increased significantly, foreign trade orders of many enterprises were tight, and the international recognition of domestic high-end products continued to rise.

On the supply side, the clearance of backward production capacity in the industry has accelerated, the environmental protection technological transformation of enterprises has continued to advance, the low-end production capacity has gradually shrunk, the overall start of the industry has been stable, and the market supply and demand have gradually become balanced. The industry expects that the price of silica will remain high and volatile in the short term, and the growth of demand for high-end products in the medium and long term will drive the continuous optimization of the industry structure.
