Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) Price Trend Q1 2026
Liquid silicone rubber price has increased over the first quarter of 2026. Prices have been growing consistently, increasing approximately 9% in several key regions worldwide, which has been driven by high levels of demand from both automotive and electronics industries and overall increased feedstock costs along with tighter supply conditions around the world. Demand from global markets for elastomers that provide high-performance, heat resistance, flexibility, and durability is also increasing.
Overall, while consumption through APAC, North America, or Europe remains stable or increasing, this demand is acting to support continued price momentum of LSR, along with other increased costs throughout the globe due to geopolitical tension and the current conflict that exists between Iran and Israel and the effect that their actions are having on the shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, which are also driving up the overall price of fuel and freight charges.
Germany: Liquid Silicone Rubber prices FOB Hamburg, Germany; Grade – Tensile Strength 10.9
During Q1 2026, Liquid Silicone Rubber prices in Germany have increased by 2.8%, supported by stable demand from automotive, healthcare, and electrical sectors, where high-performance elastomers continue to see consistent consumption.
Market conditions remained relatively balanced, with producers maintaining controlled operating rates to avoid excess supply. Feedstock silicon metal prices experienced moderate increases due to higher energy costs and tighter supply conditions in Europe, while methyl chloride trends also contributed to rising production costs.
This has been reflected in Liquid Silicone Rubber prices in Germany and the overall Liquid Silicone Rubber price trend in Germany, indicating a firm market environment. Similarly, in the last month of the quarter, in March 2026, Liquid Silicone Rubber prices in Germany have increased by 2.3%, supported by steady demand and stable supply conditions.
China: Liquid Silicone Rubber prices FOB Shanghai, China; Grade – Tensile Strength 8
During Q1 2026, Liquid Silicone Rubber prices in China have increased significantly by 9.1%, driven by strong recovery in domestic demand across electronics, automotive, and consumer goods sectors. Post-Lunar New Year restocking activities boosted procurement, while improved manufacturing output supported higher consumption levels.
Feedstock silicon metal prices surged due to power supply constraints and production controls in key regions, while methyl chloride costs also moved upward, creating strong cost-push pressure. Additionally, export demand improved, further tightening supply availability.
This has been reflected in Liquid Silicone Rubber prices in China and the broader Liquid Silicone Rubber price trend in China, indicating bullish market sentiment.
Similarly, in the last month of the quarter, in March 2026, Liquid Silicone Rubber prices in China have increased sharply by 10.3%, driven by strong restocking demand and higher feedstock costs.
India: Liquid Silicone Rubber import prices CIF Nhava Sheva (China), India; Grade – Tensile Strength 8
During Q1 2026, Liquid Silicone Rubber prices in India have increased by 11.7%, primarily due to rising import prices from China and strong demand recovery in domestic downstream sectors such as automotive, medical devices, and electrical applications.
Import dependency made the Indian market highly responsive to global price movements, especially amid tightening supply conditions in China. Additionally, consistent freight movement and steady shipment arrivals supported supply flow, but higher import offers drove prices upward. Feedstock trends remained firm, further contributing to cost support.
This has been reflected in Liquid Silicone Rubber prices in India and the prevailing Liquid Silicone Rubber price trend in India, indicating strong bullish momentum. Similarly, in the last month of the quarter, in March 2026, Liquid Silicone Rubber prices in India have surged by 12.5%, driven by aggressive restocking and elevated import parity prices.
Vietnam: Liquid Silicone Rubber import prices CIF Haiphong (China), Vietnam; Grade – Tensile Strength 8
Vietnam’s Liquid Silicone Rubber prices grew by 9.0% in Q1 2026 compared to Q4 2025 due to increased demand from consumer goods and industrial applications within the electronics manufacturing space. Vietnam relies heavily on imports, so the increase in prices of exports from China, along with tightened supply from higher domestic consumption and feedstock costs, directly impacted Vietnam’s prices for LSR.
Overall, average international freight rates have remained stable, meaning sellers continue to receive their goods consistently but higher seller offers from suppliers have pushed overall pricing levels up. Following previous inventory draw downs, increased procurement activity from buyers has also contributed significantly to the bullish nature of the market.
According to Price-Watch™, in March of 2026, LSR prices in Vietnam have continued to trend higher as evidenced by their increase of 10.3% against previous month levels. Therefore, liquid silicone rubber pricing trends in Vietnam have demonstrated stronger fundamentals.
