Entering the second half of 2026, the domestic market for ethyl silicone oil shows a clear structural growth trend. In addition to traditional industrial sectors, the market order volume for cosmetic grade and pharmaceutical intermediate grade ethyl silicone oil has increased by over 35% year-on-year, becoming a new growth engine for the silicone material industry.


Ethyl silicone oil itself has the characteristics of low surface tension, excellent spreading, mild and non irritating. The purified cosmetic grade ethyl silicone oil can be widely added to skin care lotion, cosmetics base makeup and other products, effectively improving the skin smoothness and makeup holding effect of the product. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of the requirements of the domestic cosmetics industry on the safety of raw materials, the market demand for such raw materials continues to rise. And 99% high-purity pharmaceutical grade ethyl silicone oil, as an important pharmaceutical intermediate raw material, has also obtained numerous bulk purchase orders from pharmaceutical companies due to its low volatility and high stability advantages.


At present, the domestic ethyl silicone oil industry has formed a complete supply chain layout. Production bases in Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places can cover a full range of product supply from low viscosity to high viscosity, while supporting small batch customization services, which can quickly respond to the differentiated needs of customers in different industries. Industry institutions predict that with the continuous expansion of downstream application scenarios, the overall market size of ethyl silicone oil in China will maintain a compound annual growth rate of over 10% in the next three years, and the development prospects of the industry are very broad.
