China’s Fluorosilicone Rubber prices continued its bullish trend in June 2026, with prices rising another 4.3% in the first half of June and further increases anticipated amid ongoing supply tightness. Extended maintenance shutdowns in Shandong Province have kept Chinese fluorochemical producers operating below optimal utilization rates, restricting feedstock availability and keeping the Fluorosilicone Rubber market structurally tight. The market strength follows May’s strong rally, when Fluorosilicone Rubber FOB Shanghai reached $31,540.00/MT, marking an 18.0% increase from April’s $26,730.00/MT. Demand remained strongest from the automotive sector, supported by China producing 2.35 million light vehicles, up 8.0% YoY, which sustained steady procurement for sealing applications. Export demand also remained firm, with Fluorosilicone Rubber article exports rising 12.0% YoY, reducing domestic supply availability. Producers continue facing tight fluorinated intermediate supplies, while siloxane reactors operated only 22 out of 31 days. Additionally, higher electricity tariffs increased silicon conversion costs by 7.0% M/M, keeping Fluorosilicone Rubber supplier offers elevated and supporting further upward movement.
