Why is the price of high carbon silicon soaring?
Nov 18, 2021
In recent months, the Chinese government has implemented policies such as "double control of energy consumption", power and production limit, and spot circulation is largely restricted. Many ferroalloy sources are in short supply. In this context, the high carbon silicon market has also risen sharply with the market.
China's Henan Province is the main producer of silicon-carbon alloys. Taking high carbon silicon with Si≥60%, C≥15%, and grain size: 10-60mm as an example, the mainstream ex-factory tax-included quotations are concentrated at 8800-9000 yuan/ton. Most manufacturers said that the frequency of price fluctuations is relatively large, the upward trend is obvious, and the supply of goods is scarce.
;
The main reason is that the raw material cost is high, the enterprises continue to put pressure on it, and the silicon-based price hikes are invading, and the high carbon silicon manufacturers are more cautious in taking over the market. They focus on build-to-order production. Many manufacturers suspend quotations and stop production to wait and see.
As the ferrosilicon market continues to rise, steel enterprises have the intention to use high carbon silicon instead of ferrosilicon alloys, which may drive the shipments of high carbon silicon to a certain extent. However, it is necessary to consider the impact of the cost.
On the whole, the strong upward trend of the high carbon silicon market will not change in the short term.
