Yuwenhao, , , 0 comment

China’s production capacity of photovoltaics components accounts for around 70% of the globe, and silicon wafer processing is also in great demand. However, production volume of polysilicon in China only constitutes 50% of the globe. Domestic polysilicon cannot bridge the demand gap of downstream enterprises for raw materials, leading to the continuous increasing import volume of polysilicon in China. Import of polysilicon is featured as: Major import source countries are South Korea, Germany and the U.S. In the last three years, import volume from the three countries has been almost…

Four Major Problems Faced by Rare Earth Industry in China

Yuwenhao, , , 0 comment

First, there is still severe overcapacity in primary products of rare earth. Though capacity of rare earth smelting and separation has decreased from 400 thousand tons to 300 thousand tons by integration, overcapacity is still a serious problem compared to 105 thousand tons of final production volume. In addition, illegal exploitation still exist driven by massive profits. Environmental disruption caused by illegal exploitation is not added into value of products, causing oversupply and low price of rare earth. Second, inner competition of the industry is too fierce under the circumstance…

Who Supplied Global Photovoltaic Market in 2016

Yuwenhao, , 0 comment

At present, China is the largest polycrystalline silicon producer in the world with GCL-Poly being the market leader. However, in 2016, Wacker-Chemie (Germany) and OCI (South Korea) dominated the world’s second and third supplier positions in this field. The battle of photovoltaic trade between China and America is not over. Anti-dumping tariff has already caused a loss of American polycrystalline silicon producers and the two giant Suniva and SolarWorld still cannot avoid bankruptcy. Photovoltaic module and battery market remains diversified. Market share of the top ten manufacturers remains stable though…
