Silicon Industry Branch: Weak downstream demand, reduced production of monocrystalline silicon wafers.

According to the Zhitong Financial APP, on November 6, the Silicon Industry Branch released a weekly review of monocrystalline silicon wafers. Due to weak downstream demand, this week, silicon wafer prices continued to trend slightly downwards. Specifically, as terminal installations enter the traditional off-season and downstream demand for silicon wafers is weak, there is a strong bearish sentiment in the market towards future silicon wafer prices, leading to low purchasing intentions and light trading of silicon wafers, putting significant pressure on silicon wafer manufacturers to ship goods. In addition, in order to ensure stable cash flow, some manufacturers and traders began to sell silicon wafers at low prices, further intensifying market pressure. These factors have led to a continued downward trend in overall transaction prices for silicon wafers this week. According to research, there has been no significant change in the overall industry operating rate compared to last week this week. The operating rates of two leading companies are at 56% and 54%, while for integrated companies, the operating rate ranges from 56% to 80%, and the remaining companies have operating rates ranging from 54% to 80%.
