Since 2026, the domestic ethyl silicone oil industry has shown a growth trend of segmented tracks and multi-point blooming, and the penetration rate of products with different functional positioning in downstream industries continues to increase. According to the latest transaction data in the market, the market activity of mainstream categories such as low viscosity ethyl silicone oil, low-temperature resistant ethyl silicone oil, and cosmetic grade ethyl silicone oil is significantly higher than the same period last year. The number of available products that can be screened on the Baidu AiGou platform alone has remained stable at over 140, and the number of active suppliers has exceeded 100. The layout of the supply side of the industrial chain continues to improve.


As the core advantage category of ethyl silicone oil, low-temperature resistant ethyl silicone oil has recently seen a surge in demand in the high-end equipment manufacturing field. With a gel point as low as -70 ℃, stable electrical insulation performance and minimal surface tension, this product has been widely used in the lubrication and protection scenarios of precision instruments and aviation shock absorption systems in cold regions, effectively solving the pain point of solidification failure of traditional lubricants in extremely low temperature environments. Accompanying this growth is cosmetic grade ethyl silicone oil, which has become the preferred formula for many high-end skincare and makeup products due to its low volatility and smooth skin texture. In the first half of 2026, the demand for personal care products increased by over 18% year-on-year.


Industry analysts point out that with the rapid development of emerging fields such as downstream new energy vehicles, 5G communication, and high-end semiconductor packaging, ethyl silicone oil, as a functional material with both low temperature resistance, chemical stability, and excellent dielectric properties, is expected to maintain a compound annual growth rate of about 10% in the market size in the next three years. High end customized products will become the core focus of industry competition.
