Polycrystalline Silicon: Some leading companies tentatively signaled a price support of 63 yuan/kg this week, and some second- and third-tier manufacturers slightly increased prices.
According to Mysteel’s survey, some leading companies tentatively signaled a price support of 63 yuan per kilogram this week, and some second- and third-tier manufacturers slightly increased prices. However, downstream buyers generally did not accept these signals, and purchasing interest was extremely low. The demand side was affected by the upcoming Spring Festival, with silicon wafer and cell segments gradually scheduling production cuts and holidays, leading to postponed procurement until after the holiday. Coupled with the continuous decline in silicon wafer prices, this further suppressed the willingness to purchase silicon materials. Currently, the market is in a state of both supply and demand weakness, with leading suppliers implementing production cuts. The polysilicon output in February is expected to decrease to 79,500 tons. Industry self-regulation has maintained stable prices, but overall industry inventory remains high and continues to rise. On the demand side, affected by high silver paste prices and the approaching Spring Festival, downstream silicon wafer companies have also reduced operations, and actual procurement remains limited to rigid demand.
