H1 2023: The North American market experienced Dimethylcyclosiloxane (DMC) market fluctuations and price shifts in H1 2023. US Dimethylcyclosiloxane prices increased in February, buoyed by strengthened demand in the downstream industry, fuelled by renewed market optimism. Supply stability prevailed among producers, with minimal disruptions in the supply chain. From March 2023, the Dimethylcyclosiloxane market witnessed a downturn characterized by limited trade and purchasing activities in the North American region. Prices took a downward trajectory, attributed to ample stocks among major producing units. Recognizing subdued demand and to prevent oversupply, major DMC producers scaled down production rates. Exports from the USA to the South American market dwindled, marked by fewer trading activities. Despite price reductions, purchasing volumes remained low, with downstream personal care industries operating at low speed. The demand for DMC experienced a decline till the end of H1 2023, aligned with reduced activities in the end-use market. On the other hand, March 2023 onwards, the Dimethylcyclosiloxane market witnessed a significant decline in prices in Chinese market. This downturn was primarily attributed to a decrease in demand coupled with heightened production activities. Chinese producers had accumulated significant product stocks, anticipating an uptick in demand that did not materialize, resulting in an oversupply scenario. The price drop was further exacerbated by weak demand from downstream procurers contributing to the overall decline in Dimethylcyclosiloxane prices. The trading activities in China was adversely affected by the Dragon Boat Festival in June 2023, contributing to a subdued market outlook. Despite a stabilization in downstream Silicone Rubber sector, the demand for Dimethylcyclosiloxane (DMC) remained constrained, characterized by lower product consumption and a weak market outlook in China.
The global Dimethylcyclosiloxane (DMC) market stood at approximately 760 thousand tonnes in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 3.12% during the forecast period until 2032. Dimethylcyclosiloxane (DMC) falls within the category of cyclic siloxanes and is alternatively referred to as decamethylcyclopentasiloxane. This chemical compound is a transparent liquid with high solubility in organic solvents. Its applications are across diverse industries such as cosmetics, personal care, automotive, electronics, and textiles. DMC is also used in the synthesis of organic silicon polymer through either acid or alkali catalysis for the production of substances such as silicone oil and silicone rubber.
Dimethylcyclosiloxane (DMC) is a versatile chemical compound boasting extensive applications across diverse industries. In the cosmetics and personal care sector, DMC is a pivotal ingredient in formulating products like skin creams, lotions, and hair care items, imparting a luxurious and silky texture. The automotive industry utilizes DMC in polishes, waxes, and coatings, enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and protective features of automotive finishes. In the electronics sector, DMC plays a role in the manufacturing of electronic components, leveraging its solubility in organic solvents and facile evaporation for specific electronic processes. Within textiles, DMC functions as a premium fabric softener and a crucial component in fabric treatment formulations, contributing to the plushness and flexibility of textiles. Moreover, DMC's versatility extends to various chemical processes, where it serves as a valuable solvent or reactant, capitalizing on its outstanding solubility and chemical stability in diverse synthesis and manufacturing procedures. DMC sees widespread usage in the production of silicone rubber, a material applied in various fields including electrical insulation, automotive components, and medical devices. Moreover, DMC functions as a water repellent in textiles, coatings, and construction materials.
The trajectory of the Dimethylcyclosiloxane (DMC) market is significantly shaped by multiple driving factors. Industries such as cosmetics, automotive, electronics, and textiles are increasingly relying on the versatile properties of DMC. The primary factor is the growing usage of DMC in the cosmetics and personal care sector. In the cosmetics sector, the surge in demand for DMC is propelled by its integral role in formulating personal care products like skin creams, lotions, and hair care items. Furthermore, the automotive sector serves as a significant factor for the DMC market. Within automotive manufacturing, DMC finds application in electronic module and sensor production, specifically for encapsulation and molding purposes. Looking forward, the market outlook for DMC remains optimistic as these pivotal industries continue to expand. Growing demand in diverse industries, such as automotive, electronics, and healthcare, is like to create more demand for Silicone Rubber which likely to directly influence to DMC market outlook. Its unique properties, including flexibility, insulation, and resistance to extreme temperatures, make Silicon rubber crucial for applications like seals, gaskets, medical devices, and electrical components, driving continuous market growth. The global Dimethylcyclosiloxane (DMC) market is anticipated to reach nearly 1035 thousand tonnes by 2032.
During the forecast period, North America is projected to account for the largest share the global Dimethylcyclosiloxane market growth.
