Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the impact of the "anti-involution" policy on the polysilicon market, highlighting the significant price increases in polysilicon futures and the implications for supply and demand dynamics in the industry [4][12][13]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Polysilicon futures have demonstrated their price discovery function, serving as an important indicator of market expectations amid policy uncertainties [4]. - The price of polysilicon futures surged, with the main contract settling at 52,470 yuan/ton on July 25, 2025, marking a more than 60% increase since early July [13]. - The "anti-involution" policy is expected to lead to a focus on controlling low-priced products and consolidating production capacity within the polysilicon sector [7][12]. Group 2: Supply and Demand - The current supply-demand imbalance in polysilicon is becoming evident, with sellers raising prices to 50-52 yuan/kg, while downstream demand remains weak despite some marginal recovery [19]. - The increase in polysilicon prices is putting pressure on the profitability of downstream components, with costs rising approximately 0.02 yuan/W due to higher polysilicon prices [23]. - If the downstream prices do not rise in tandem with polysilicon prices, there is a risk of reduced demand as high costs may lead to production cuts [31]. Group 3: Policy Implications - The "anti-involution" policy aims to stabilize the market by preventing below-cost pricing and promoting the consolidation of excess capacity in the polysilicon industry [13][14]. - Successful implementation of the policy could lead to a new equilibrium where polysilicon prices reflect production costs, consolidation costs, and reasonable profit margins, estimated to be between 56,000 and 60,000 yuan/ton [37]. - The market is currently trading on expectations of policy success, with futures prices aligning with anticipated post-policy price levels, indicating that market expectations may have peaked [35][46].
