Key Sentence: Official customs statistics reveal silicone raw material export volume barely rose while high-end processed silicone products achieved double-digit export growth amid export tax rebate adjustments.
On July 15, 2026, China General Administration of Customs released semi-annual silicone foreign trade data, reflecting obvious structural changes brought by the cancellation of 13% VAT rebates for primary silicone monomers. The export volume of bulk DMC and silicone gum only increased 2.3% year-on-year, while the total export value of high-value silicone finished products jumped 11.7%.
Medical implant LSR, electronic low-ion potting silicone and automotive high-voltage sealing rubber became the core growth categories, with Europe and Southeast Asia as major overseas demand markets. Many manufacturers stopped low-margin raw material export businesses and focused on customized certified silicone products with FDA, REACH and IATF16949 credentials.
Industry analysts stated that the policy-driven industrial transformation will continue in the second half of the year, and enterprises with complete high-end silicone product lines will further expand global market share amid shrinking overseas local silicone capacity.
