The European Commission has formally initiated an interim review of anti-dumping duties currently applied to silicon metal imports from China, covering both dumping and injury. The review follows a request filed by Euroalliages on behalf of the EU silicon metal industry on July 8, 2026. The investigation will assess whether silicon metal from China has been sold into the EU at less than fair value and whether such imports have caused material injury to EU producers. Ferroglobe said underpriced silicon metal imports have remained a key pressure on Europe’s silicon industry, while production shifts from China to alternative sources such as Angola may add further pressure.
