At the beginning of 2026, a cold announcement shook the global automotive supply chain: German automotive parts startup Aumovio announced that it will lay off up to 4000 positions worldwide, with hardest hit areas including Germany, India, Singapore, Romania, Serbia, and Mexico. It is worth noting that this company has only been "born" for less than a year. It was originally the automotive business unit of Continental Group, which was spun off and independently listed in September 2025, named "Aumovio", meaning the future of "automotive+mobile". Now, before 'Future' can firmly establish itself, it has already swung the knife of layoffs at its employees.

Overview of Organic Silicon Market on January 28th: Today, the domestic DMC market is mainly stable, and the current average price in the Chinese market remains at 13850 yuan/ton, with no change in price compared to the previous trading day. The overall market news is relatively calm, and individual production enterprises continue to execute previous orders, with little inventory pressure. From the demand side, some downstream enterprises plan to gradually shut down for holidays starting from early February, and pre holiday stocking has been basically completed. Therefore, the market's inquiries and actual transaction activity today are still not high. Market price trend in the future: It is expected that short-term prices will be mainly stable, with narrow adjustments in some areas. The main influencing factors include: 1. The supply side is affected by the delivery of pre-sale orders, and spot resources are tight. The expected starting load in February is expected to decrease; 2. Individual enterprises have a strong willingness to raise prices before the holiday, while downstream procurement willingness is not high; 3. There is limited room for downward adjustment of construction in Southwest China. Xinjiang enterprises still have some profit margin due to self generation, but if inventory continues to accumulate, construction may be under pressure. As the holiday approaches, logistics costs are rising and downstream customers are price sensitive, resulting in sluggish trading. Market research shows that about 70% of industry insiders believe that the short-term industrial silicon market will continue its weak and volatile trend.
