According to SMM statistics, in July, the in-service capacity of domestic PV glass furnaces fell by nearly 6,000 mt/day, with the TOP7 enterprises accounting for the majority of the decline, while small enterprises actually saw their production cuts slow down in July, indicating that top-tier players have also begun to help improve China's supply. Subsequently, glass prices are expected to start rising as supply tightens.
