At present, our country's silicone industry mainly produces high-end silicone products, and there are also a small number of low-end silicone products mainly used in the industrial industry. Therefore, domestic silicone rubber manufacturers have a long way to go.
The organic silicon industry began in the 1970s, with a series of industrial chains mainly consisting of DMC, raw rubber, and silicone blended rubber. In the early 21st century, it was introduced into the domestic market from Taiwan Province Province. With the development of recent years, China's silicone industry ushered in a vigorous period of development.
Silicone rubber compound is a new type of environmentally friendly raw material, different from plastic and rubber. Silicone rubber compound has excellent characteristics such as non-toxic and odorless, stable chemical properties, and resistance to high and low temperatures. Therefore, it is widely used in military, medical equipment, automotive parts, handicrafts, and industrial production and manufacturing processes. And with the popularization of the Internet and global economic integration, more and more new creative silicone products have emerged, promoting a rapid and vigorous development of our silicone industry.
Although organic silicon originated abroad, it has undergone rapid development in China. So what is the development trend of the silicone industry at home and abroad?
In China, since entering the 21st century, our country's traditional manufacturing industry has been vigorously developed. Taking this opportunity, our organic silicon industry has achieved rapid development in recent years, especially in the past decade, many large organic silicon monomer factories have been born, including many enterprises, such as Hesheng, Xin'an, Xingfa, Zhongtian, Fujite, and other large enterprises. The main reason is that in recent years, more and more new creative silicone products have emerged, especially in children's, creative home manufacturing, and medical device products. More and more silicone products are constantly being invented, and with the popularization of cross-border e-commerce, more than 70% of our country's silicone products are widely exported to various parts of the world. At present, our country's silicone industry mainly produces high-end silicone products, and there are also a small number of low-end silicone products mainly used in the industrial industry. Especially in the fields of silicone household products, baby and child toys, medical devices, and automotive accessories, China ranks among the top in terms of development trends and scale in the world.
In foreign countries, especially in countries such as Japan, Europe, and the United States, due to their early start stage, they have a certain leading position in the production and manufacturing technology of organic silicon compared to China. In addition, there are some well-known organic silicon companies abroad, such as Wacker, Shinyue, Dow Corning, and so on. These enterprises have achieved good results in the research and development of organic silicon manufacturing, especially in high-end products such as military and medical equipment industries, and have gained high reputation worldwide. In addition, some high-end silicone products in our country still rely on imported brand raw materials. Therefore, in response to the differences in production technology between domestic and foreign countries, we still need to continue to work hard and move forward. However, in terms of overall production scale, the scale of organic silicon production in our country is higher than that in foreign countries.
In addition, in Southeast Asia, due to low labor costs, many foreign trade orders in China have been transferred to Southeast Asia in recent years, including our silicone industry. In Southeast Asia, the main focus is on producing low to mid range silicone products, which are not as advanced as domestic production technology and scale. But in terms of product price, because of its price
