This week, the overall market maintained a neutral positive pattern. Upstream polysilicon and si-wafer prices were adjusted by the fluctuation of supply and demand, but after this correction, in the next month they will likely change again due to changes in supply and demand. For PV cell and module market, the wait-and-see attitude has become stronger, and manufacturers aren’t likely to place orders until the last minute. ...  more

Although this week’s orders have been completed before Chinese New Year (CNY), due to the benefit of price increase for si-wafer before CNY, price increased this week. Upstream polysilicon and si-wafer benefited from this trend, and the prices slightly rose; the increase in PV cell and module prices still depended on individual products. ...  more

With the arrival of Chinese New Year (CNY), the market began to show a festive atmosphere and started to slow down. Yet, the price of si-wafer increased at the end of the year, implying that the price movements after CNY will be positive. The supply and demand of upstream polysilicon continued to be stable, while both mono-si and multi-si wafer prices went up at the same time. ...  more

The overall market continued to maintain a stable pattern this week. Upstream polysilicon and si-wafer manufacturers have regulated capacity to stabilize prices, and there has been requests for quotation after Chinese New Year (CNY). PV cell and module markets are in the final stages of order delivery and stocking due to the upcoming CNY holiday. ...  more

This week the market demand has been steadily growing. For the upstream polysilicon and si wafer segments, the balance of supply and demand has sustained the stable prices. ...  more

This week the multi-si supply chain was considered weaker than that of mono-si. However, market demand still existed for multi-si products. Upstream polysilicon's price in the domestic market of mainland China kept on falling slightly because overseas manufacturers continued selling polysilicon with low prices, so as to consume inventories. Regarding si wafer, the stable balance of supply and demand helped price remain stable. Speaking of PV cell and modules, prices of individual segments rose because of demand. For the rest of PV cell and modules, most of their prices stayed flat. ...  more

After the year-end holiday period and the conclusions of multi-stage tenders, the supply-demand relationship of the whole PV market has been reset and now enters a new adjustment period. ...  more

Market conditions came to a climax this week amid strong demand in various markets. Upstream polysilicon and si-wafer manufacturers effectively controlled the supply-side output, making the prices stable; although the market condition of PV cells and modules benefited from the continuous increase in demand, the price has not changed too much because the long term order prices of large manufacturers were stable and small quantity order prices were gradually moving towards large manufacturers. ...  more

The market as a whole has stabilized due to the robust demand, and prices are on a positive, upward trend. However, manufacturers across the supply chain have been very restrained in adjusting their quotes because they do not want significant fluctuations in price trends. ...  more
