[SMM Analysis: Brief Analysis of PV Glass Export Data for May 2025] In May 2025, China's PV glass exports reached 331,200 mt, a decrease of 7.17% YoY and an increase of 3.53% MoM. From January to May 2025, exports totaled 1.6545 million mt, up 6.12% YoY. Among these, India had the largest trade volume in May, with 125,300 mt, a significant increase of 43.69% MoM. As the planned new module capacity in India began to be gradually implemented, subsequent module production is expected to rise. With relatively limited local glass supply, procurement volume for glass started to increase from mid-to-late April, leading to an increase in demand in India in May.

[SMM Silicon-based PV Morning Meeting Summary: Supply-demand Imbalance Leads to Continuous Decline in Solar Cell Prices, Film Production Schedule Continues to Drop] The mainstream quotations for Topcon183N solar cells (with efficiency of 25% and above) are 0.23-0.24 yuan/W; the mainstream transaction prices for Topcon210RN are 0.26 yuan/W, with a quotation range of 0.255-0.265 yuan/W; Topcon210N solar cells are priced at around 0.25-0.255 yuan/W. Overall, the downward trend continues. Looking at specific sizes: 183N prices fell rapidly earlier due to a sharp decline in orders, but now appear to have hit bottom, with price support coming from the wafer side; 210RN prices have loosened due to the impact of destocking at month-end; 210N prices are also under pressure due to supply imbalance, with a bearish outlook for this week.

From the supply and demand side of LDPE, it has not been significantly affected by the Israel-Iran war. The frequent price fluctuations are mainly influenced by changes in the oil price on the raw material side. From the demand side, June and July remain the traditional off-season for LDPE demand, with limited growth in domestic demand. LDPE and EVA are produced in a co-production facility. According to SMM, EVA enterprises have not actually switched to producing LDPE. From April to June, petrochemical plants have mainly focused on production scheduling for EVA, and no significant changes have occurred as a result.
