On January 15, 2026, Shanghai, China - With the deep expansion of the global silicone oil industry chain, ethyl silicone oil, as a high-performance product in the silicone oil family, is ushering in a new round of market growth. According to the latest "Analysis Report on the Development Status and International Trends of Silicone Oil Market in 2026" released by Bezos Consulting, the global silicone oil market size has reached 30.107 billion yuan by 2025, of which the Chinese market size has reached 8.096 billion yuan. It is expected that the global market will exceed 39.468 billion yuan by 2032, with an average annual compound growth rate of 3.94%. Ethyl silicone oil continues to rise in demand in high-end applications due to its excellent low temperature resistance, electrical insulation, and lubrication properties.


Low temperature resistance is the core advantage
Ethyl silicone oil (CAS number: 63148-61-8) has a solidification point below -70 ℃, a working temperature range covering -60 ℃ to 150 ℃, and a low temperature viscosity coefficient, which can maintain stable performance in extreme environments. This characteristic makes it the preferred material for precision instrument lubrication, aerospace, and polar scientific research. For example, the ethyl silicone oil produced by Wuhan Kanos Technology Co., Ltd. has been widely used for lubrication of precision equipment such as speed measuring machines, synchronous motors, and clocks. Its low volatility, non toxicity, and aging resistance significantly extend the service life of the equipment.


Explosive demand in high-end application fields
In the field of new energy vehicles, ethyl silicone oil, as a key material for battery pack cooling systems, can effectively improve thermal management efficiency; In the field of 5G communication, its excellent dielectric properties make it an ideal insulating medium for high-frequency signal transmission components. In addition, with the rapid development of the robotics industry, the demand for the application of ethyl silicone oil in sealing and buffering of moving parts has significantly increased. Jitai Group responded to investors on the interactive platform by stating that the company is evaluating the potential application of ethyl silicone oil in robot joint sealing and may launch customized products in the future.


Accelerated release of domestic production capacity
China has become a major producer of ethyl silicone oil globally, and domestic companies such as Anhui Aiyota Silicone Oil Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Mindray Biochemical Technology Co., Ltd. continuously improve product purity and stability through technological innovation. According to the ChemicalBook database, by 2025, the number of ethyl silicone oil production enterprises in China will reach 78, accounting for over 90% of the global market, with production capacity concentrated in Hubei, Anhui, Shanghai and other places. It is worth noting that Xinyuan Chemical (Shandong) Co., Ltd. has achieved integrated production from trifluoropropene to fluorosilicone oil through a full industry chain layout, and its high-end fluorinated ethyl silicone oil products have been exported to the European and American markets.


Industry expert opinions
Li Ming, President of Beijing Guohua New Materials Technology Research Institute, said, "The market growth of ethyl silicone oil is due to the diversified expansion of downstream application scenarios. In the next three years, the fields of new energy vehicles, robots, and semiconductors will become the main driving forces. Enterprises need to focus on high-end product research and development, break through technological barriers, and cope with international market competition
