2026-05-18 15:35:48

Last week, the average price of N-type polycrystalline silicon dense materials was 36,000 yuan/ton, which remained stable on a month-on-month basis and decreased by 6.74% on a year-on-year basis; the average price of N-type granular silicon was 34,300 yuan/ton, which was flat on a month-on-month basis and decreased by 4.72% on a year-on-year basis.

First, the price trend

of silicon materials last week, the average price of N-type polysilicon dense materials was 36000 yuan/ton, and the ring ratio remained stable, down 6.74% year-on-year; The average price of N-type granular silicon was 34,300 yuan/ton, which was flat on a month-on-month basis, down 4.72% from the same period last year, and the price of silicon materials has remained stable for nearly a month. During the week, the operating rate of polysilicon declined slightly and the inventory dropped slightly, but the overall level was still high, coupled with weak demand, the price remained stable.

II, Demand and Price Outlook

Digital New Energy DataBM. Com data show that the TOPCon double-sided 182 photovoltaic module price index was 0.75 yuan/W last week, up 1.35% annually. The price index of TOPCon double-sided 210 PV modules was 0.76 yuan/W, which was flat on a month-on-month basis and increased by 10.14% on a year-on-year basis. The price index of TOPCon double-sided 210R PV modules was 0.76 yuan/W, which was down by 1.3% on a month-on-month basis and increased by 11.76% on a year-on-year basis; The price index of HJT double-sided 210 photovoltaic modules was 0.75 yuan/W, down 1.3% from the previous month. During the week, the marginal demand for components has improved, but the overall recovery is fatigue, and the transmission resistance of price increases is greater.

Last week, the price of industrial silicon dropped slightly. The average price of Si4210 industrial silicon was 9513 yuan/ton, a slight decrease of 0.27% compared with the previous month. The downstream rigid demand was weak. The resumption of production was accelerated in the southwest wet season. In addition, the inventory was high. It is expected that the short-term price will still be stable and weak.

Polysilicon, with the arrival of the wet season, a number of manufacturers have increased their production schedules, increased the release of production capacity, the overall inventory pressure in the superimposed market is too high, the supply of goods is very sufficient, there is no centralized production reduction action at present, and it is expected that the pattern of loose supply will continue; On the demand side, although the production schedule of some large silicon wafer factories in the downstream has rebounded slightly, they only maintain the daily replenishment, the market demand for terminal components is weak, the stock mood of enterprises is low, and the purchasing power is weak. On

the price side, the spot price was consolidated sideways, the price difference of different types of silicon materials remained stable, the futures market was weak, and the basis convergence also exerted pressure on the spot market near the delivery period. At present, the high inventory in the market suppresses the upward space of the price, the cost side forms the bottom support, and there is a lack of strong positive driving force in the short term. It is expected that the price of silicon materials will continue to be volatile and weak this week.

Last week, the average price of N-type polycrystalline silicon dense materials was 36,000 yuan/ton, which remained stable on a month-on-month basis and decreased by 6.74% on a year-on-year basis; the average price of N-type granular silicon was 34,300 yuan/ton, which was flat on a month-on-month basis and decreased by 4.72% on a year-on-year basis.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.
