In the second half of 2025, the organic silicon industry will usher in a new stage of development driven by technological breakthroughs and industrial landing. From high-end material research and development to intelligent production, multiple innovative achievements are reshaping the industry landscape.


Technological breakthrough: Expanding the boundaries of new material applications
At the 3rd Organic Silicon Technology and Application Innovation Forum in 2025, Professor Wu Jinrong's team from Sichuan University released the "photo induced twin polymerization" organic silicon preparation technology, which attracted attention. This technology has significantly improved the high temperature resistance and mechanical strength of materials through molecular level innovation, providing key material support for fields such as 5G communication and new energy vehicles. At the same time, the polydimethylsiloxane based vitreous material developed by Professor Tang Hongding's team at Wuhan University has demonstrated excellent biocompatibility in the field of medical implants and is expected to replace traditional metal materials.


Enterprise innovation is also active. Zhejiang Lide Organic Silicon Materials Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Xin'an Chemical Group, recently launched the "Personalized Customization Industrial Adhesive Technology Enhancement Project" with a total investment of 28.5 million yuan, adding 10870 tons/year of high-performance adhesive production capacity, covering high-end products such as electronic potting adhesives and special adhesive adhesives. The project achieves customized product performance through physical mixing process optimization, meeting the stringent requirements of new energy vehicle battery packaging, semiconductor chip protection, and other scenarios.


Industrial upgrading: the combination of intelligence and greening
The organic silicon "industrial brain" built in Yongxiu County, Jiangxi Province has become a benchmark for digital transformation in the industry. This platform integrates industrial operating systems and industrial apps to collect real-time production data and optimize scheduling, helping enterprises reduce equipment downtime. For example, with the predictive maintenance function of the platform, Maihao Organic Silicon has reduced equipment failure rates by 40% and saved maintenance costs of over 2 million yuan annually. In addition, the industry chain data sharing mechanism built by the platform has increased the inventory turnover rate of upstream and downstream enterprises by 25%, and shortened the order delivery cycle by 15 days.


In terms of green transformation, industry leader Hesheng Silicon Industry has reduced carbon emissions through integrated industrial chain layout. Its Xinjiang base utilizes self owned power plants to achieve self-sufficiency in electricity, with unit product energy consumption 18% lower than the industry average. In 2025, the company's industrial silicon ending inventory will be maintained at around one month, and by flexibly adjusting production capacity to match market demand, resource waste will be avoided.


Market outlook: Emerging fields drive demand growth
Luo Liguo, Chairman of Hesheng Silicon Industry, stated at the performance briefing that the demand for organic silicon industry is expected to maintain a high growth rate in 2025, and emerging industries such as new energy, 5G, and ultra-high voltage will become core growth poles. Among them, room temperature adhesive and high-temperature adhesive are driven by the demand for photovoltaic module packaging, while liquid adhesive and silicone resin are rapidly growing due to the expansion of new application scenarios. According to industry predictions, the global silicone market size is expected to exceed 200 billion yuan by 2025, with China's share expected to increase to 45%.


Under the dual promotion of technological iteration and industrial upgrading, the organic silicon industry is shifting from "scale expansion" to "value creation". Enterprises need to continuously increase their R&D investment and build differentiated competitive advantages to cope with increasingly fierce market competition.
