According to the Silicon Industry Branch, the silicon wafer market showed weakening demand and relaxed supply this week, and silicon wafer prices fell under pressure. Specifically, on the demand side: this round of overseas procurement orders is coming to an end, and export demand is clearly cooling down; domestic terminal procurement sentiment is sluggish, and demand is weak. Supply side: All silicon wafer companies maintain normal operating loads, and supply is relatively relaxed. The oversupply led to an increase in silicon wafer inventories. In order to return capital, some manufacturers cut prices and concessionary shipments, and silicon wafer prices began to decline. According to research, the overall operating rate of the industry this week was the same as last week, with no significant changes. Among them, the operating rate of the two first-tier enterprises was 52% and 54%, the operating rate of integrated enterprises was between 56% and 60%, and the operating rate of the rest of the enterprises was between 50% and 78%. Looking ahead to the future market, in a situation where supply exceeds demand, silicon wafers are expected to accumulate slightly, and the overall market will maintain a pressurized operating trend in the short term. In the future, we need to focus on changes in polysilicon prices and the pace of downstream procurement and inventory replenishment. If silicon prices are difficult to maintain current prices, the silicon wafer market is likely to show a weak and volatile trend.
