Polysilicon prices fell back recently with the release of supply, driving downstream silicon wafer producers to increase their production schedules. However, silicon wafer prices seemed to be unfazed by falling input prices, and even went up.
The main reason is that silicon wafer production is constrained by quartz crucible shortages while downstream demand is robust, which could further expand supply-demand gap in the silicon wafer market and shore up its prices further.
