SHANGHAI, Sep 12 (SMM) – SMM data show that domestic silicon metal output was 320,900 mt in August, up 13.5% MoM and 10.6% YoY. Output stood at 2.299 million mt from January to August, up 2.6% YoY.
The increase in domestic silicon metal production in August was mainly contributed by the three main production areas (Xinjiang, Yunnan, and Sichuan), as well as other small production areas in the north. Among the main production areas, output in Sichuan increased by 14,000 mt MoM, which was the largest increase. This was mainly because Sichuan was in the rainy season in August when the water and electricity supply was normal after production was disrupted by power rationing earlier. Silicon price increased by more than 1,000 yuan/mt in August, boosting production enthusiasm, with 30 furnaces being restarted. Output in Xinjiang rose 10,000 mt MoM, which was mainly driven by the resumption of production at some silicon plants in Yili after maintenance, and the commissioning of new production capacity at GCL. Yunnan has resumed production on a large scale in July, so there was only a small increase in output in August. Except for the main production areas, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai, Shaanxi and other places also saw increases of 1,000-3,000 mt. In southern places such as Fujian and Guangxi, where costs are high, the operating rate remained low.
On September 7, the average price of SMM East China above-standard #553553 silicon metal was 14,550 yuan/mt, an increase of 1,650 yuan/mt or 13% from August 1. Thanks to the recent rise in the silicon price, some loss-making silicon companies turned to profitability, and maintenance basically ended. Some silicon companies in the north have higher production intentions than before. On the whole, it is expected that the output in September will maintain a positive growth on a MoM basis.
