Last week, the spot market price of silicon metal remained stable. This performance is mainly due to the stable production of manufacturers during the Spring Festival and the low market activity after the holiday.
On the supply side, the northern region has become the main supplier of metallic silicon, while the southern region has a lower operating rate due to the impact of the dry season. This supply pattern has resulted in relatively small changes in overall production, with a decrease in production in January compared to December. However, with the gradual implementation of the resumption of production plan by major northern factories, the future supply is expected to increase.

On the demand side, there has been a slight increase in demand for metallic silicon from organic silicon monomer factories, but a decrease in demand from polycrystalline silicon and aluminum alloy enterprises. This change has made the supply and demand relationship in the silicon metal market more balanced, and the price lacks upward momentum.
Looking ahead to the future, with the rapid development of new energy industries such as new energy vehicles and photovoltaics, the market demand for metallic silicon, as one of the important raw materials, will continue to grow. Meanwhile, with the tightening of environmental policies and the promotion of industrial upgrading, enterprises with environmental and technological advantages will become more competitive.
Therefore, metal silicon enterprises should seize market opportunities, strengthen technological innovation and environmental protection investment, and improve product quality and service levels. At the same time, we should actively explore emerging market areas and expand our customer base to meet future market challenges. In addition, enterprises should closely monitor the impact of external factors such as international market price fluctuations and exchange rate fluctuations on the market, and establish a sound risk management system.
