SMM: Supply-Demand Analysis and Price Forecast of China Silicon Metal Market 2021-2022

The total silicon metal output in Jan-Oct increased 36% year-on-year, and is likely to total 2.86 million mt throughout 2021, a historical high. China’s combined output of offgrade silicon (Si ≤ 97%) and secondary silicon in the same period stood at 250,000 mt, which made up some of the supply shortage of silicon metal. Meanwhile, the imports of silicon metal performed well due to higher prices in China, which totalled 4,000 mt in Jan-Sep, up 782% on the year.
