SMM PV Weekly Review: N-type polysilicon prices fall, downstream prices difficult to rise

Polysilicon prices fell this week, especially N-type material prices began to decline. The main reason is that the cost pressure at the pulling crystal end has shifted towards increasing the proportion of lower-grade materials such as cauliflower, leading to the accumulation of N-type inventory in silicon material factories. In addition to their price-cutting behavior, this week marks the beginning of a new round of quotations for silicon materials, showing initial signs of price reductions. Top manufacturers are trying to support the market, but overall market sentiment is weak at the moment.
