The price of silicon wafers has dropped by nearly 10%!

in the third week of August and remained stable for two weeks, the prices of various types of silicon wafers began to fall sharply this week, with a maximum decline of 9.82% .

On September 3, the Silicon Branch announced the latest average transaction price of silicon wafers this week. Among them,

the average transaction price of N-type G10L monocrystalline silicon wafers (182 * 183.75mm/130μm) was 1.01 yuan/piece, down 9.82% from last week ; The average transaction price

of N-type G12R monocrystalline silicon wafers (182 * 210mm/130μm) was 1.03 yuan per piece, down 9.65% from last week ; The average transaction price

of N-type G12 monocrystalline silicon wafers (210 * 210 mm/130 μm) was 1.15 yuan per piece, down 5.74% from last week . The reason for

this week's decline in silicon wafer prices, the Silicon Branch said, was mainly due to weakening demand and loose supply.

Demand side: this round of overseas stock purchase orders is coming to an end, and the export demand is cooling down significantly; the domestic terminal purchasing sentiment is low, and the demand is weak.

Supply side: all silicon wafer enterprises maintain normal operating load, and the supply is relatively loose. The oversupply led to an increase in the inventory of silicon wafers, and some manufacturers, in order to withdraw funds, cut prices to make profits, and the price of silicon wafers began to decline .

Looking ahead, the Silicon Branch expects that in the current situation of oversupply, silicon wafers will accumulate slightly, and prices will remain under pressure .

In addition, the Silicon Branch said that the follow-up should focus on the price changes in the polysilicon sector. As well as the rhythm of purchasing and replenishing silicon materials by silicon wafer enterprises .

Silicon Branch again did not give polysilicon transaction price data on Wednesday, because manufacturers have a strong willingness to defend the price, mainstream enterprises still quote at full cost as the bottom line, there is no active price reduction behavior; However, the follow-up of downstream demand is insufficient, the signing of new orders is too few , the market as a whole is still in the transitional stage of wait-and-see and exploration, the game between supply and demand is intensified, and the pace of transaction is slow. The reference range of transaction price is 40-43 yuan/kg, and the actual market volume is limited. "Market circulation is less, showing a state of price without market as a whole."
