Since 2020, the price of raw materials in the silicone industry has remained high, sometimes even showing an upward posture. From the monitoring report of China's organic silicon industry chain in 2021, the price increase of raw materials has a greater impact on some products of organic silicon, such as DMC, 107 glue, raw rubber, methyl silicone oil, etc., while the price of fumed silica and other products More stable. Since the price changes in January of this year, the prices of most organic silicon products decreased in January; prices rose rapidly after February, and even exceeded the prices of the previous year; prices continued to show an upward trend in March; most of the intermediates were up until April And product prices began to stabilize.

The quotations of organosilicon intermediates and products led by DMC fell in January, and showed an explosive rise in February and March. Until today, the prices have remained high. In this way, for large companies, due to their scale, capital and technical advantages, they can improve equipment and increase production efficiency. Therefore, the output of industrial robots and metal cutting machine tools can be seen to rise sharply. However, the enterprises are high-end and intelligent. , Mechanization transformation will further reduce the demand for labor of enterprises, although it will help technological progress in the long run, it is not necessarily a bad thing. However, for small and medium-sized enterprises, the pressure is relatively high. The continuously rising upstream prices will start to counteract the profits of small and medium-sized enterprises. After all, small and medium-sized enterprises do not have the technology, brand and scale barriers to resist upstream price increases, but they have assumed a lot of employment. (Private and self-employed individuals solve nearly 60% of employment), the kinetic energy of consumption will naturally be dragged down.

To sum up, the bulk increase since the beginning of the year has not had a significant impact on large enterprises, but has a more serious impact on small and medium-sized enterprises, which has increased social employment problems.
