The market share of photovoltaic film is over 50%.

On April 11, Fosta, the film leader, issued several announcements concerning project investment, project postponement and 2023 annual performance.

On April 11, Foster announced that the company intends to postpone the production of the flexible copper clad laminate (material) project with an annual output of 5 million square meters (hereinafter referred to as the flexible copper clad laminate project) from December 2024 to December 2025; The annual output of 250 million square meters of high-efficiency battery packaging film project (hereinafter referred to as the film project) will be postponed from June 2024 to December 2025.

By the end of December 2023, the flexible copper clad laminate project has completed the construction of part of the plant, and the project has actually invested 51.5261 million yuan of raised funds, and the balance of unused raised funds is 238.4739 million yuan, which is used for temporary replenishment and deposited in the special account of raised funds.

The plastic film project has completed the construction of part of the plant and the installation of part of the equipment. A total of 178.6852 million yuan of the raised funds has been actually invested in the project, and the balance of the unused raised funds is 266.654 million yuan, which is used for temporary replenishment and deposited in the special account for raised funds.

In view of the reasons for the delay, Foster said that the company launched the technical renovation project of Suzhou Base in 2023, which will greatly improve the production capacity of Suzhou Base after the completion of the technical renovation, in order to match the actual demand of downstream photovoltaic modules , ensure the reasonable level of capacity utilization of each base, and improve the production capacity of Suzhou Base. Decided to slow down the pace of production. The

flexible copper clad laminate project is based on the fact that the development of the domestic industry lags behind the development of flexible printed circuit boards. The company has decided to gradually develop the technical route of products from low-end to high-end. In the process, the company has continuously explored and improved the production equipment and continuously increased the supporting imported equipment according to the needs.

In order to meet the needs of overseas business development, implement the company's development strategy and further enhance its international competitiveness, Foster intends to invest US $5 million to set up New International Trade Co., Ltd. in Singapore. Invest USD 5 million to establish Thailand Foster Electronic Materials Co., Ltd. in Thailand.
