Due to the large export of electronic appliances, clothing, handicrafts and other products and the rapid growth of demand for organic silicon materials in domestic construction, textile, automobile, daily chemical and other industries, by 2010, China’s consumption of organic silicon monomers had reached 1.15 million tons. Accounting for 35.8% of the world’s total consumption, it has surpassed the United States to become the world’s largest consumer of silicone.
In recent years, thanks to the country’s vigorous efforts to cultivate and develop strategic emerging industries, silicone, as an important part of the new materials industry, has ushered in new historical opportunities. By the end of 2017, my country’s methyl monomer production capacity reached 2.7 million tons, and its output exceeded 1.8 million tons, ranking first in the world. China has become a veritable major producer of organic silicon, and its application fields are becoming more and more extensive, demonstrating a broader prospect. .
