This week’s overall market price volatility was not entirely reflected in the continued slowdown in demand. There were influences of external environmental factors, including the exchange rate and the new tax system. The real market prices have yet to be known after the actual response next week. Upstream polysilicon and si-wafer prices showed diverging trends at home and abroad: in the domestic market, the decline could be attributed to the impact of the tax system, while the increase in the overseas market can be attributed to changes in the exchange rate. ...  more

This week, the market saw both upward and downward price movements; the unstable price movements are a result of the slowdown of expected demand and the growth of the supply side’s inventory level. The overall supply chain is still based on the trend of major manufacturers, and the current market price trend tends to drop slowly. ...  more

This week, the overall market entered the traditional low season as the expected demand slowed down, and the stock-up momentum of the entire supply chain was lower than expected. For upstream polysilicon, mono-si remained stable, while multi-si declined. Because the demand continued to slow down, the gap between mono-si and multi-si will be particularly obvious. ...  more

This week, the market still showed an atmosphere of slowing demand, and the change in stock-up momentum may be a warning for price fluctuation. Upstream polysilicon’s new capacity filled the demand in the downstream; the demand for si-wafer continued to be strong, but there was an atmosphere of slowing demand in the downstream. ...  more

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
