Is there truly an overcapacity situation in silicones industry in China?

Posted on : 30 Apr, 2010

 

4^th Global Silicone Biz Outlook meets on 27 – 28 September 2010 in Shanghai to focus on upcoming new capacities and assess if these added capacities are indeed opportunities or threats to the silicone industry.

 

Some of the noteworthy industry news that suggest possible overcapacity scenario include:

• Capacity expansions by Dow Corning and Wacker Chemie AG in Jiangsu, China
• Bluestar Group and Cabot announcement in January to significantly expand the silica capacity at their joint venture plant in Jiangxi province, China
• Momentive Performance Materials investment in a new manufacturing facility in India
• Capacity additions by Chinese silicone suppliers

While the above developments point to positive growth in demand and supply, the threat of market saturation looms.

For that reason, 4^th Global Silicone Biz Outlook meet which feature silicone professionals from around the globe, promises to offer participants with invaluable business intelligence and latest updates on the markets.
