Polysilicon Output Hit A New High at 43,100 mt in Aug, Likely to Further Increase in Sep

SHANGHAI, Sep 7 (SMM) – China’s polysilicon output hit a new high at 43,100 mt in August, up 3.9% on the month and 62% on the year.

The increment was mainly contributed by the resumed production from maintenance in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and other regions.

Silicon supply turned tight again with the expanded downstream production of silicon wafer.

Most silicon plants will maintain current production. However, some plants in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, and other regions may slightly reduce production due to the strict local power curtailment and energy consumption restrictions.

SMM expects the output of polysilicon to increase further and set a new high around 43,600 mt in September, with the increment from the resumed production capacities after the maintenance and technological transformation.
