Polysilicon production in April was 181,200 mt (+5.8% MoM) in China, mainly thanks to capacity ramp-up of new production lines.

Polysilicon production in April was 181,200 mt (+5.8% MoM) in China, mainly thanks to capacity ramp-up of new production lines. In May, many polysilicon companies were shut down for maintenance, including some first-tier factories, affecting output of more than 5,000 mt. However, due to capacity ramp-up of Tongwei Baoshan and Daquan Inner Mongolia Phase 2, production in May may still increase, but the growth rate will slow down significantly.
