3303 high-end industrial silicon successfully mass-produced
The industrial silicon plant of Xinjiang Oriental Hope New Energy Co., Ltd. has successfully broken through the technological bottleneck of the industry and adopted the all coal process to stably mass produce chemical grade 3303 high-end industrial silicon products. This breaks the inherent limitations of the all coal process, which makes it difficult to produce high-end products due to large fluctuations in raw material iron content. The factory achieved this breakthrough by establishing a technical research team and simultaneously focusing on strict control of raw material quality and systematic optimization of key production processes. This move not only rewrites the industry's perception that the all coal process can only produce mid to low end products, but also provides key technical support for the company to enter the high-end market and achieve high-quality development.
The export volume of organic silicon in December increased by 9.26% compared to the previous month. Customs data shows that in December 2025, the export volume of primary form of silicone in China was 51300 tons, an increase of 9.26% compared to the previous month and an increase of 3.85% year-on-year. The cumulative export volume of primary form polysiloxane of organosilicon from January to December 2025 was 558900 tons, an increase of 2.44% year-on-year. The largest trade volume to South Korea in December was 7400 tons, an increase of 1.29% compared to November.
Summary of Organic Silicon Market on January 21st: The domestic DMC market prices remained stable today, with the national average price remaining at 13850 yuan per ton, the same as the previous working day. Most of the pre-sale orders from production enterprises have been scheduled until February, and currently the main focus is on delivering existing orders, with inventory levels remaining low. Downstream customers may continue to digest their own inventory or choose opportunities for small-scale purchases, while market transactions are still concentrated in scattered small orders. In the short term, market prices are expected to continue to operate steadily, mainly influenced by supply conditions, market sentiment, and cost changes. Under the combined effect of these factors, the overall market trend tends to stabilize. From the perspective of specific driving factors, the supply side has been able to maintain low inventory levels due to pre-sale order delivery support. In terms of market mentality, manufacturers continue to push prices, but downstream lacks sufficient confidence in the medium to long term market. In terms of cost, the news of a large factory in Xinjiang reducing production has been confirmed to be just a rumor. The Sichuan manufacturer mainly sells inventory products and has slightly lowered their prices. At the same time, inventory in the downstream polycrystalline silicon industry has accumulated for more than four months, coupled with the decline in market prices, making it difficult for manufacturers to achieve high-level hedging in the early stage, resulting in further reduction of polycrystalline silicon production plans and continuous weakening of industrial silicon procurement demand. According to market research feedback, about 70% of industry customers expect the short-term industrial silicon market to continue its weak operating trend.
