DBM Weekly Review: Strong Supply and Weak Demand of Polysilicon, Weak Market (2026.7.17)

2026-07-21 13:52:35

On the whole, the logic of supply and demand mismatch and high inventory suppression has not been reversed, and polysilicon prices are expected to remain weak and volatile next week (7.20-7.24).

First, the price trend

of silicon materials last week, the average price of N-type polysilicon dense materials was 313,000 yuan/ton, down 0.95% annually and 24.94% year-on-year; The average price of N-type granular silicon was yuan/ton 32000, which was flat compared with the previous year, down 20% year-on-year, and the price of mainstream silicon materials continued to fall. During the week, although some enterprises had maintenance plans, the leading enterprises continued to resume production, the overall supply increased, the shipment of photovoltaic modules was weak, the silicon wafer manufacturers purchased on demand, the spot transaction was weak, and the price of silicon materials continued to decline.

Last week, the price of industrial silicon fell slightly. The average price of Si4210 industrial silicon was 9407 yuan/ton, which was flat on a month-on-month basis and turned from rising to falling on a year-on-year basis. During the week, there was a reduction in production in the northwest region, a stable resumption of production in the southwest region, and an overall steady increase in supply; the demand in the three downstream areas was weak, and there was no change in the supply and demand pattern, but there was a certain support in the cost side, and the spot price of industrial silicon was temporarily stable. In terms of

polysilicon, the supply side continued to be relaxed, leading silicon enterprises relied on the southwest wet season to continue to promote the resumption of production capacity, routine maintenance of some factories in Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Qinghai brought about a small reduction, but the overall scale of resumption of production exceeded the volume of shutdown maintenance, the weekly output steadily increased, and the market supply increment continued to be realized. The demand side is still in a weak situation, the raw material inventory of the silicon wafer sector is abundant, the downstream cell and component manufacturers are generally in a loss state, the United States launched an anti-circumvention investigation on China's photovoltaic industry, the exp ort is expected to cool down dramatically, the terminal installation undertakes fatigue, the middle and lower reaches only purchase rigidly on demand, and the phenomenon of taking goods at a lower price is widespread. The industry's overall factory warehouse and exchange delivery inventory are still at a historical high, the substantial inventory has not been realized, and the spot price has great upward resistance. The futures market followed the weakening of spot fundamentals synchronously, with the main contract falling five times in a row, with a cumulative decline of more than 6.5% in the week. Short funds dominated the market, and the long-short divergence increased. The pressure on the market was obvious. On the whole, the logic of supply and demand mismatch and high inventory suppression has not been reversed, and polysilicon prices are expected to remain weak and volatile next week (7.20-7.24).

2026-05-18 15:35:48

Last week, the price of silicon materials remained stable for nearly one and a half months, and the average price of N-type silicon materials and N-type granular silicon was flat. Polysilicon production is reduced and inventory is slightly reduced, but demand is weak. Demand for components is low and prices are under downward pressure. Industrial silicon has stopped falling and stabilized, and is expected to be stable and strong in the short term. Polysilicon inventory is high, the price is weak and difficult to fall significantly, and it is in a stalemate. Prices of silicon wafers and batteries have fallen, and enterprises plan to reduce production. The principled terms of polysilicon storage have been agreed, which will be conducive to the stability of the industrial chain, alleviate the debt risk of related companies and provide reference for other industries.

2025-11-10 11:40:26

Last week, the price of silicon materials showed different performances. The average price of N-type silicon materials and N-type granular silicon was stable and rose year on year. The inventory of polysilicon rose, and the price depended on the price of enterprises. In terms of photovoltaic modules, some prices are loose, new orders are insufficient, and market demand is weak. The price of industrial silicon has stopped falling and stabilized, and demand is still weak. The inventory of polysilicon manufacturers may rise further, and the start-up rate of enterprises is stable, which does not exclude the reduction of start-up and stable prices. Silicon enterprises should adjust the production rhythm. The polysilicon storage platform has made progress, but the landing is slow, and it needs to be approved by the relevant departments.

2025-11-03 13:11:20

Last week, the price of silicon materials showed an upward trend. The average price of N-type silicon materials and N-type granular silicon rose on a month-on-month and year-on-year basis. The price of polysilicon was raised, but the high price was less, and the downstream demand was weak. The price index of photovoltaic modules is mostly flat or slightly down, with weak demand, high inventory pressure and stable prices. The price of industrial silicon is temporarily stable after falling, the supply is sufficient and the production of polysilicon is expected to be reduced. The policy puts forward the target of revenue growth of electronic information manufacturing industry and guides the high-quality development of photovoltaic industry. The price of polysilicon continues to rise, the downstream is difficult to digest, and the market may face "monopoly doubts".

2025-09-08 14:05:44

Last week, the average price of N-type silicon materials and N-type granular silicon rose annually, while the price of polysilicon raw material industrial silicon continued to fall, a small amount of silicon wafer factories were stocked, the industry inventory was high, and the price of polysilicon enterprises was high. The price of TOPCon modules is stable, but the demand is cold, the inventory is rising, and the price index of HJT double-sided 210 photovoltaic modules is rising. The price of industrial silicon has fallen for two consecutive weeks, and the price of polysilicon is strong. In September this year, the demand for batteries and components increased seasonally or was lower than in previous years, and the downstream market was cautious. Short-term replenishment supports the price of polysilicon, but the impulse of enterprises to resume production and expand production is still there, or pressure on the downstream, suggesting that the downstream should be alert to risks.

2025-09-01 17:44:20

Last week, the average price of N-type silicon materials and N-type granular silicon was flat, while the market demand for polysilicon did not improve and the inventory rose. The price index of photovoltaic modules has risen and flattened, and the supply is sufficient, but the quotation of first-line manufacturers has been raised. The price of industrial silicon has been restored, but the demand is still insufficient, and the price of silicon wafers is temporarily stable. Polysilicon enterprises are more willing to increase production, but the space for substantial production reduction is low, and it may be weak and stable in the later period. Overseas polysilicon production capacity continues to grow, domestic polysilicon has entered the ceiling of growth, and the price of polysilicon may fluctuate in the short and medium term.

2025-08-18 19:07:11

Last week, the average transaction price of N-type silicon materials was 67,800 yuan/ton, down 0.29% on a month-on-month basis; the average transaction price of monocrystalline dense materials was 60,500 yuan/ton, flat on a month-on-month basis, down 75% on a year-on-year basis.
