  1. Global supply

    Global industrial silicon production countries are more concentrated. Among them, China is the world's largest industrial silicon producer, and in 2021, China's production capacity will account for about 78% of the global production capacity. In 2013-2021, the global production capacity increased from 5.33 million tons to 6.74 million tons. Among them, China's production capacity increased from 4 million tons to 5.28 million tons, accounting for around 80%. Other production capacity is mainly distributed in Brazil,the United States, Norway and other countries. From a production perspective, China's production increased from 1.45 million tons to 2.79 million tons in 2013-2021, contributing 72% of global industrial silicon production in 2021. From the current situation, it is expected that in the next five years, the increase of industrial silicon production capacity will still mainly come from China, and the production capacity of other countries will remain relatively stable.

  2. Global demand

    Global industrial silicon consumption continues to grow at a high rate, but the sources of consumption drivers are constantly changing. In the past, the consumption of industrial silicon was mainly aluminum alloy. At present, the demand of organic silicon industry exceeds that of aluminum alloy. In the future, the demand of polysilicon will surpass the demand of organic silicon and become the largest demand side of industrial silicon. In the future, benefiting from the rapid development of the photovoltaic industry and the steady growth of the organic silicon industry, industrial silicon will also usher in the stage of rapid demand growth. With the global consensus of carbon neutrality, the photovoltaic industry chain represented by polysilicon demand has given the most significant boost to industrial silicon demand. Driven by demand for pv installations, polysilicon consumption will grow by about 30% from 2020-2021. Silicone consumption involves all aspects of life, and domestic silicone demand also keeps growing. On the one hand, the performance of many organic silicon materials can replace petroleum-based materials, on the other hand, silicon-based materials can produce less carbon emissions compared with carbon-based materials, the two aspects jointly pull, and the market prospect is broad.
