(May 23, 2026) Recently, the trading atmosphere in the domestic silica gel market has gradually warmed up, with the operating rates in downstream sectors such as rubber, coatings, and daily chemicals continuing to increase. This has driven a surge in the demand for silica gel purchases, leading to an overall positive trend in production and sales within the industry.
According to market research data, the mainstream pricing range for general-purpose precipitated silica gel remains stable. However, some high-end fumed silica gels have seen slight price increases due to support from raw material costs. Currently, inventory levels of major domestic producers are at a reasonable level, and shipments are progressing smoothly without any widespread hoarding or unsold inventory issues.
From the perspective of downstream applications, there is an ample demand for high-end products in tire manufacturing and silicone products that require enhanced strength and wear resistance. The demand for silica gel in these areas is growing significantly. Purchases in other segments such as coatings, pesticides, and food additives also remain stable. Industry insiders analyze that with the continued recovery of the terminal market, the silica gel market is expected to remain stable in the short term, with limited price fluctuations. Production and shipping operations will continue to operate as usual.
At the same time, environmental regulations and production safety inspections have become more routine. Major producers are strictly adhering to production standards, ensuring product quality while steadily expanding their production capacity and contributing to the healthy and orderly development of the industry.
