China is the world's leading producer of silicon metal
China is the world's leading producer of silicon metal. In 2007, China's total production of silicon metal was 95-1 million tons, while in 2006, China's total production of silicon metal was 75-800 thousand tons. 2007 in China
The consumption of silicon metal has reached more than 250,000 tons, and in recent years, the domestic demand for silicon metal is also increasing, and the proportion of domestic consumption in the total production is also increasing. From January to March 2008
China's production of silicon metal is around 200,000-250,000 tons. Excluding exports, China's domestic consumption is around 35,000 to 85,000 tonnes.
China's metal silicon production capacity is relatively large, the output is mainly concentrated in Guizhou, Yunnan, Fujian, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan. Metallurgical grade silicon 553 and 441 have a wide distribution area
It is distributed in Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and other places, among which Guizhou is the most important metal silicon production province, with its output accounting for 15-35 of the national output.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, China's industrial silicon production and export have maintained a relatively fast growth rate. China exported 322,400 tons of industrial silicon in 2001, 387,400 tons in 2002, and 2003
It reached 479,900 tons in 2005 and exceeded 500,000 tons in 2004, reaching 545,100 tons. In 2005, it was basically unchanged from 2004 at 536,100 tons. But it reached 614,000 tons in 2006, up from 2005
Long 14.6; In the first half of 2007, it increased by 16.3 compared with the same period of 2006. In 2007, the total export of industrial silicon reached 698,000 tons, which increased by 13.8 compared with 2006. Chinese industry in recent years
Silicon exports are up sharply. In 2007, compared with 2001, there was a 1.16-fold increase.
China's export price of industrial silicon has been low, especially since the 1990s, due to the European Union and the United States and later Australia and other long-term high anti-dumping on China's export of industrial silicon
The tax, coupled with undisciplined competition from China's low levels of construction duplication and cut-price competition, has kept the price of China's industrial silicon exports severely low. The price of silicon for China's industrial exports has risen since 2007
Gao, from January to December 2007, the average FOB price for China's industrial silicon exports was $1381 / ton, which was 27 percent higher than the average FOB price for the whole of 2006.
From January 1, 2008, China's provisional tariff on silicon metal is 10. The purpose of the tariff increase is to control the export of silicon metal, but despite the tariff increase, the price of silicon metal produced in China is in the international market
The market is still the lowest, the price advantage is obvious.
