（April 22, 2026）The latest industry monitoring data in late April 2026 shows that the domestic silica industry is operating well, with market prices remaining high and stable after the adjustment, and downstream demand, overseas exports, and green capacity construction are improving simultaneously.
On the raw material side, the rising pressure on the cost of core raw materials such as sulfuric acid was gradually digested, and the price of a full range of domestic silica products stabilized. The supply of high-end special products such as high-dispersion specialty, gas-phase method, and food grade is in short supply, and the procurement demand in the downstream tires, silicone rubber, sealing materials, coatings, and food and medicine fields is stable and strong.
In April, the export volume of high-end grade products rose sharply year-on-year, overseas customer purchase orders continued to increase, the demand in Southeast Asia and Europe increased the most, and the international market share of domestic silica increased steadily.
In terms of industrial upgrading, the construction of low-carbon new processes and intelligent production lines has become the core direction of industry development. Green technologies such as carbon dioxide acidification and microchannel continuous reaction are gradually industrialized, effectively optimizing product micro performance, reducing production energy consumption and carbon emissions, and meeting global environmental protection policies and high-end product application standards. At the same time, the low-end and backward production capacity of the industry continues to be eliminated by policies, and industrial resources are concentrated in high-quality enterprises with R&D strength and the layout of the whole industrial chain.
In the future, with the expansion of applications in the fields of downstream new energy tires and new materials, the market space for high-performance and customized silica products will continue to expand, and the industry has broad development potential.
