4 FAQs about The impact of polysilicon prices on energy storage

What factors affect polysilicon prices?

IMARC's report presents a detailed analysis of polysilicon pricing, covering global and regional trends, spot prices at key ports, and a breakdown of FOB and CIF prices. The study examines factors affecting polysilicon price trend, including input costs, supply-demand shifts, and geopolitical impacts, offering insights for informed decision-making.

Why are polysilicon prices so high in Asia?

In the Asia Pacific region, polysilicon prices were affected by strong demand from the solar photovoltaic manufacturing sector, particularly in China, India, and Southeast Asia. Capacity expansions in China increased overall supply, but periodic power curtailments and production halts in key provinces led to localized shortages.

What is the cost of polysilicon?

By the end of 2013, the manufacturing cost of polysilicon for industry leaders was below $20/kg. Capacity had grown from less than 50,000 MT per year in 2007 to over 350,000 MT per year by 2013. The cost of polysilicon had taken hold, and many manufacturers were forced to sell at cash cost to remain in business.
