Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - The US tariff policy and Trump's vision of manufacturing reshoring and revitalizing the traditional petrochemical energy system will challenge global economic growth and drag down the global photovoltaic industry. In the second half of the year, China's manufacturing industry is expected to return to an expansion trend. The anti - involution meeting will promote effective capacity reduction in the photovoltaic industry, and the expansionary fiscal policy and flexible and loose monetary policy will inject vitality into the Chinese economy [3][61]. - In terms of supply, the production in Xinjiang was under pressure in the first half of the year, the production in Sichuan and Yunnan was extremely low during the dry season, and the new production capacity in Inner Mongolia and Gansu was limited. The number of open furnaces nationwide decreased. After the anti - involution meeting, the photovoltaic industry's capacity reduction will accelerate in the second half of the year. It is expected that the annual output in 2025 will drop to 3.8 million tons, a decrease of about 22% compared with last year [3][61]. - In terms of demand, the anti - involution meeting emphasizes eliminating backward production capacity in the photovoltaic industry. The downstream battery and component markets will reduce production and load, and the terminal ground - based power station installation volume and photovoltaic glass production will decline significantly. The upstream silicon materials will enter a passive contraction cycle. Organic silicon has limited price - increase space under the dual pressures of cost squeeze and demand decline, and the output of aluminum alloy may not rebound due to the slowdown in real - estate completion and infrastructure investment. It is expected that the total consumption of industrial silicon in China in 2025 will decrease by about 5% compared with last year [3][48][62]. - In the second half of 2025, with the gradual clearance of excess capacity in the photovoltaic industry, the supply - demand pattern of industrial silicon will improve significantly. The domestic manufacturing industry will return to the expansion range, and the futures price may enter a stable upward cycle. It is expected that the main operating range of industrial silicon in the second half of 2025 will be between 8,000 - 10,500 yuan/ton [3][62]. Summary by Directory 2025 First - Half Market Review - In the first half of 2025, the industrial silicon futures price first declined and then rebounded. The price dropped from 11,130 yuan/ton at the beginning of the year to a minimum of 6,990 yuan/ton in early June, a decline of 37.2%. In the first quarter, the supply - demand imbalance was aggravated. Although the production in the southwest was low, the new production capacity in Gansu and Inner Mongolia was put into operation, and the consumption of silicon materials decreased. After April, enterprises rushed to install before the new policy on May 31, but the price still fell. After the anti - involution meeting in June, the price rebounded from the bottom, and the main contract rebounded to 8,280 yuan/ton by the end of June [8]. Macroeconomic Analysis Strengthening the Domestic Cycle and Promoting a Unified Market, with the Central Bank's Monetary Policy Remaining Moderately Loose - In the first half of the year, China's economy faced challenges such as the deterioration of the global trade situation and the slowdown of GDP growth. The central bank implemented a series of policies, including lowering the 7 - day reverse repurchase rate by 0.1% to 1.4%, reducing the deposit - reserve ratio by 0.5%, and increasing re - loan quotas. China's economy showed a stable and progressive trend in the first half of the year, with industrial production accelerating, high - tech industries developing rapidly, and domestic demand gradually recovering [10][11]. Manufacturing PMI Marginally Expanded and Rebounded, and the Anti - Involution Meeting Emphasized Capacity Reduction in Key Industries - In June, China's official manufacturing PMI index rebounded to 49.7, close to the boom - bust line. The production and new - order indexes were in the expansion range, indicating an improvement in the manufacturing industry's prosperity. The anti - involution meeting emphasized the governance of the photovoltaic industry's low - price and disorderly competition, aiming to guide the withdrawal of backward production capacity and promote high - quality development [12][14]. Fundamental Analysis Domestic Production: Xinjiang's Production Remained at a High Level Throughout the Year - In the first half of the year, the production in the northern main production areas of industrial silicon gradually recovered, but the recovery in Xinjiang was less than expected. The production in Sichuan and Yunnan was at a historical low during the dry season. The new production capacity in Inner Mongolia and Gansu compensated for the shortage in the southwest. In the second quarter, the production in the main production areas rebounded slightly. The total industrial silicon output in the first half of the year was 1.869 million tons, a significant decrease of 17.9% year - on - year. The output proportion was gradually shifting to the north [16][17]. The Newly - Added Domestic Production Capacity from 2025 - 2026 Will Significantly Slow Down - As of June this year, China's total industrial silicon production capacity reached 7.483 million tons, with an effective production capacity of 7.408 million tons. The average capacity utilization rate in 2024 was only 65.6%. From the first quarter of this year to the end of 2026, the total newly - added construction and put - into - production capacity is 2.382 million tons, with 1.782 million tons planned for 2025 and only 600,000 tons expected in 2026. The supply - side reform of the photovoltaic industry will ease the over - supply pressure [30][31]. Domestic Inventory Remained at a High Level, and the Export Growth Rate Slightly Declined - As of July 3, the domestic social inventory of industrial silicon was 552,000 tons, a slight increase of 13,000 tons compared with the end of last year. The warehouse - receipt inventory of the Guangzhou Futures Exchange first increased and then decreased. From January to May, the cumulative export of industrial silicon was 272,400 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 7%. Although the external demand for industrial silicon is increasing, the export volume is expected to decline slightly in the second half of the year due to the supply - side reform of the photovoltaic industry [38][39]. Industrial Silicon Demand Analysis The Anti - Involution Meeting Guides Capacity Reduction, and the Photovoltaic Industry's Supply - Side Reform Is in Progress - In the first half of the year, the polysilicon market was in a difficult situation, with high inventory, falling prices, and weak demand. After the anti - involution meeting, the production volume in July may drop to below 90,000 tons, a significant decrease of more than 20% compared with December last year. The silicon wafer, battery, and component markets also faced challenges such as over - supply and price decline. The photovoltaic glass manufacturers agreed to jointly reduce production by 30%, and the photovoltaic installation volume is expected to decline significantly in the third quarter [41][44]. Organic Silicon: Cost Collapse and Weak Demand, with Limited Rebound Space Expected in the Second Half of the Year - From January to June, the cumulative output of organic silicon DMC was 1.227 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 5.3%. The DMC price declined due to cost collapse and weak demand. The production profit in the second quarter shrank significantly, and some small and medium - sized enterprises were forced to stop production for maintenance. It is expected that the output of organic silicon will decline in the third quarter [45]. The Aluminum Alloy Output Increased Steadily, but the Real - Estate and Building Materials Industries May Struggle in the Second Half of the Year - From January to May, the cumulative output of aluminum alloy was 7.405 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 7.7%. However, the real - estate market's completion growth rate is expected to be sluggish, and the infrastructure investment growth rate has cooled slightly. The output growth rate of aluminum alloy is expected to drop to 3 - 5% in the second half of the year, and the processing fees of various aluminum products may continue to decline [47]. The Demand Growth Rate of Industrial Silicon Will Continue to Slow Down in the Second Half of 2025 - The photovoltaic industry will face capacity - reduction pressure in the second half of the year, and the demand for industrial silicon from organic silicon and aluminum alloy will also be affected. It is expected that the total consumption of industrial silicon in 2025 will decrease by about 5% compared with last year [48]. 2025 Second - Half Market Outlook - The US tariff policy and Trump's policies will challenge the global photovoltaic industry. In the second half of the year, China's manufacturing industry will expand, and the anti - involution meeting will promote the photovoltaic industry's capacity reduction. The supply of industrial silicon will decrease, and the demand will also slow down. It is expected that the supply - demand pattern will improve, and the futures price will enter a stable upward cycle, with the main operating range between 8,000 - 10,500 yuan/ton [61][62].
