Report Overview - Report Title: Industrial Silicon Monthly Report - Date: November 01, 2025 - Investment Rating: Not provided - Core Viewpoint: Industrial silicon lacks continuous policy support. The supply-demand imbalance persists, with high inventory levels. The price of the 01 contract is expected to operate cautiously and strongly in the range of 8,500 - 10,000 yuan/ton, but the resistance to rebound above 9,000 yuan/ton increases. Unilateral operation has an unfavorable risk-reward ratio, so it is advisable to wait and see [5][20][21]. 1. Industrial Silicon Market Review and Outlook 1.1 Market Review - Price Fluctuations: The fluctuations in industrial silicon futures and spot prices have significantly decreased. Without policy support, the prices have reached a stalemate. In October, the spot prices remained stable, and the futures prices fluctuated within a range. The monthly closing price of Si2511 was 8,700 yuan/ton, with a monthly increase of 0.69%, and the trading volume was 2.444 million lots, with an open interest of 7,516 lots. The monthly closing price of Si2601 was 9,100 yuan/ton, with a monthly increase of 1.45%, and the trading volume was 2.616 million lots, with an open interest of 229,000 lots, a net increase of 135,000 lots [19]. 1.2 November Outlook - Policy and Demand: Industrial silicon lacks continuous policy support, and the anti-"involution" production cuts in polysilicon are actually negative for the demand side of industrial silicon. The production cuts in the later fourth quarter need further observation [20]. - Supply and Demand: In October, the expected production of industrial silicon was 420,000 tons, while the total demand was 400,250 tons. The supply-demand imbalance has not been reversed. As of the end of October, the industry inventory was 447,700 tons, and the futures inventory was 237,000 tons, totaling 684,700 tons. High inventory accumulation is difficult to reverse [20]. - Price Forecast: The 01 contract price is expected to operate cautiously and strongly in the range of 8,500 - 10,000 yuan/ton, and the resistance to rebound above 9,000 yuan/ton increases. It is advisable to continue using the idea of bottom support and rebound at the lower edge of the range, but unilateral operation has an unfavorable risk-reward ratio [20][21]. 2. Supply Side - Production Statistics: From January to September 2025, the cumulative production of industrial silicon was 2.9345 million tons, a cumulative year-on-year decrease of 16.89%, with an average monthly production of 326,100 tons. The northern regions, except Xinjiang, showed a significant production increase trend, while the southwestern regions continued to reduce production [23]. - Profit and Production Willingness: The profit window for industrial silicon has opened, and enterprises have a strong willingness to increase production. In October, the single-ton cost was 9,093.38 yuan/ton, and the single-ton profit was 179.71 yuan/ton, a slight increase from the previous month. The power price in the southwestern regions is about to rise, which will support the silicon price [23]. - October Production: In October, industrial silicon production continued to grow. The anti-involution policy did not lead to the elimination of backward production capacity. As of the end of October, the total number of furnaces was 796, the number of operating furnaces was 320, and the operating rate was 40.20%. The weekly production gradually increased, mainly due to the resumption of production in large factories in Xinjiang [24]. 3. Demand Side 3.1 Import and Export - Export: In September, the export volume of industrial silicon decreased slightly. From January to September, the cumulative export volume was 561,600 tons, a cumulative year-on-year increase of 1.55%, with an average monthly export volume of 62,400 tons [37]. - Import: From January to September, the cumulative import volume was 8,601.55 tons, a cumulative year-on-year decrease of 63.55% [37]. 3.2 Organic Silicon Demand - Industry Status: In 2024, the effective production capacity of organic silicon reached 3.53 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 11.72%; the production was 2.5213 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 15.75%, and the capacity utilization rate was 71.43%. The supply-demand imbalance in the organic silicon market has not been reversed, and the spot price is still below the cost line [38]. - Demand for Industrial Silicon: The demand for industrial silicon from the organic silicon market remains stable. From January to September, the cumulative production of organic silicon (DMC) was 1.978 million tons, and the demand for industrial silicon was 1.0286 million tons. The monthly production in October is expected to remain at around 220,000 tons, with little change in the overall demand for industrial silicon [39]. 3.3 Polysilicon Demand - Profit and Production: Since the end of June, policy support has opened up profit margins for polysilicon enterprises. In October, the average production cost of polysilicon was 41,443 yuan/ton, and the theoretical net profit per ton was as high as 9,157 yuan/ton. High profits and industry self-discipline may weaken the actual effect of anti-involution production cuts [48]. - Production Forecast: From January to October, the cumulative production of polysilicon was 1.0839 million tons. In October, the domestic polysilicon production is expected to reach 137,500 tons, a month-on-month increase of 6.2%. According to the enterprise production plan, the monthly production in November - December is expected to fall back to 125,000 - 130,000 tons [48][49]. - Inventory Situation: The supply-demand mismatch in the polysilicon market persists, and the spot market continues to accumulate inventory. As of October 30, the spot inventory was 273,040 tons, a 13.33% increase from the previous month. It is expected that the inventory accumulation speed will slow down in November and December, but the industry inventory at the end of 2025 is likely to exceed 400,000 tons [49].
