多家硅片厂商上调报价！

Core Viewpoint - The recent price increase of silicon wafers by multiple manufacturers is primarily driven by the rising costs of upstream silicon materials, although the downstream battery segment's ability to absorb these price hikes remains uncertain [1][2]. Group 1: Price Changes - On July 9, several silicon wafer companies raised their prices, with increases ranging from 8% to 11.7% for different sizes of wafers [1]. - Specific price adjustments include: - 183N wafers increased from 0.9 yuan to 1 yuan, an 11.1% rise - 210RN wafers from 1.03 yuan to 1.15 yuan, an 11.7% rise - 210N wafers from 1.25 yuan to 1.35 yuan, an 8.0% rise [1]. - Prior to this increase, silicon wafer prices had been declining due to the tapering off of the "531" rush installation, with weekly price drops reported between 1.96% and 3.37% [1]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - The price increase is attributed to the upstream silicon material price hikes, but the slowing growth in domestic photovoltaic market demand raises questions about the downstream battery segment's acceptance of these price increases [2]. - The average transaction price for multi-crystalline silicon N-type raw materials rose to 37,100 yuan per ton, a 6.92% increase, while N-type granular silicon reached 35,600 yuan per ton, up 6.27% [2]. - Multi-crystalline silicon prices have surged by 25% to 35%, although new order volumes remain limited [2]. Group 3: Company Performance - If the silicon wafer price increase is successful, it could improve the financial performance of silicon wafer manufacturers, many of whom reported significant losses in the first quarter of the year [3]. - Notable losses include: - Longi Green Energy: 1.436 billion yuan - TCL Zhonghuan: 1.906 billion yuan - Hongyuan Green Energy: 61.88 million yuan - Shuangliang Energy: 161 million yuan - Jingyuntong: 91.41 million yuan [3].
