There are more than ten large-scale silicone professional companies in the world. The production scale of methylchlorosilane is becoming larger and larger. All kinds of silicone oil and secondary processed products, silicone rubber, silicone resin, silane coupling agent and silane surfactant are widely used in various industrial departments. There are more than 5000 varieties of silicone products, and the output and sales are increasing day by day. Over the past 30 years, the growth rate of silicone industrial products has remained at 8% ~ 15%, far exceeding the growth rate of national economy in general countries. At present, silicone has been widely used in China, the number and variety continue to grow, and the application field continues to expand. China has become the most potential market for silicone products.

At present, the consumption of silicone rubber compound in China exceeds 10% of the world consumption. The fastest growing application field of silicone rubber compound is the production of conductive keys. The production plants are concentrated in Shenzhen, Xiamen, Nantong and other areas, and the key rubber has become the largest user of hot vulcanized silicone rubber; Silicone rubber insulator and lightning arrester are the third generation products instead of porcelain, FRP insulator and lightning arrester. They can be used in harsh climate environment. Now they have been widely used in power transmission and transformation systems abroad. China has begun to use them in developed coastal areas, and the market prospect is very broad; The amount of automotive sealant made of silicone rubber in China is tens of thousands of tons, including about 3000 tons of hot vulcanized silicone rubber. With the improvement of automobile grade, the amount of silicone rubber will increase significantly; In addition, silicone rubber has good application prospects in power cables, control cables of nuclear power plants and ships, internal wiring of electronic machines, outgoing lines of motors and color televisions. In terms of civil use, the nipples of nursing bottles made of hot vulcanized silicone rubber, hot water bottle plugs, pressure cooker gaskets and hoses of food vending machines have been widely used. Some raw rubber and compound rubber have been exported abroad. For example, the compound rubber for nipples of Chenguang Chemical Research Institute has been exported to Iran for several consecutive years, marking that China's silicone rubber products have entered the international market. In the field of modern medicine, silicone rubber has been widely and important used, such as making silicone rubber anti noise earplugs, silicone rubber fetal head attractors, artificial blood vessels, tympanic membrane patches, artificial trachea, artificial lung, artificial bone, silicone rubber duodenal tube, etc.
