Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating The report does not provide an investment rating for the agrochemical products industry. 2. Core Viewpoints The agrochemical products industry has stable demand supported by the "stable grain supply" policy and the growth of fertilizer and pesticide exports. The supply - side ecosystem is expected to optimize under the "anti - involution" policy, and the industry's profitability is expected to increase. Policy support for food security has strengthened the demand for agrochemical products, and multi - dimensional factors such as domestic consumption and exports have further boosted the demand. Meanwhile, the supply - side reform in the fertilizer and pesticide sectors is promoting industry concentration and high - quality development [1][12]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Agrochemical Products Industry Overview - **Policy Support and Demand Foundation**: The government has continuously strengthened food security policies. In 2025, the national grain output reached 14297.5 billion jin, an increase of 1.2% year - on - year, providing core support for agrochemical product demand. Domestic food consumption is rigid, and the demand for agrochemical products is driven by multiple factors such as domestic food, feed consumption, and exports. In 2025, from January to November, the export volume of fertilizers increased by 45.52% year - on - year, and the export volume of pesticides also increased significantly [12][13]. - **Supply - side Optimization**: The government and the industry are jointly promoting "anti - involution." The Chinese Pesticide Industry Association launched a three - year "Rectifying Involution" action, and the Chinese Phosphate and Compound Fertilizer Industry Association issued an initiative to strengthen industry self - discipline. As backward production capacity exits and new capacity is limited, the industry ecosystem is expected to improve [14]. 3.2 Fertilizer Industry - **Industry Chain and Supply - side Reform**: The fertilizer industry includes phosphate fertilizers, nitrogen fertilizers, potassium fertilizers, and compound fertilizers. In recent years, the supply - side reform has advanced, with an increase in fertilizer production but a decrease in application and an improvement in utilization efficiency. In 2025, from January to November, the export volume of fertilizers increased by 45.52% year - on - year, mainly driven by nitrogen fertilizers and compound fertilizers, while the import volume decreased by 1.22% year - on - year [15][20]. - **Phosphate Fertilizer Sub - sector**: The supply of phosphate fertilizers is restricted by phosphate rock resources. In 2025, from January to November, the production of monoammonium phosphate and diammonium phosphate decreased year - on - year. The price of phosphate fertilizers has been rising due to the tight balance of phosphate rock supply and demand and strict policies on new phosphate ammonium capacity [32][54]. 3.3 Pesticide Industry - **Industry Structure and Policy - driven Supply Improvement**: Pesticides are used for pest control and plant growth regulation. China is the world's largest producer of pesticide technicals, but there is a problem of over - capacity. In 2025, the Chinese Pesticide Industry Association proposed a three - year "Rectifying Involution" action plan, and new policies such as the revised "Pesticide Registration Management Method" will optimize the industry's competition pattern [61][62]. - **Production, Demand, and Price Trends**: In 2025, from January to November, the growth rate of China's pesticide technical production decreased, but the export volume increased. The global demand for pesticides is rigid, and pesticide prices are expected to recover as over - capacity is alleviated [63][71]. - **Glyphosate Sub - sector**: Glyphosate is the most widely used single - product pesticide globally. Policy restricts new capacity, and the inventory has been decreasing since 2025. The growth of global transgenic crop planting area drives the demand and export of glyphosate, and the price is expected to rise, and the industry's prosperity is expected to increase [75][90]. 3.4 Agrochemical Products Industry Convertible Bonds Basic Situation - **General Information**: As of December 26, 2025, the outstanding balance of convertible bonds in the agrochemical products industry totaled 9.767 billion yuan, accounting for 25.27% of the convertible bond balance in the basic chemical industry. The un - converted ratio of all convertible bonds is over 90%, and the credit ratings range from AA - to AA + [91][94]. - **Trading and Valuation**: The trading volume of Hebang Convertible Bonds is the highest, with an annual trading volume exceeding 24 billion yuan. Since 2025, both the prices of agrochemical convertible bonds and their underlying stocks have risen, and the price increase of underlying stocks is generally stronger than that of convertible bonds. All agrochemical convertible bonds are balanced - type, with Yangfeng Convertible Bonds having a relatively high conversion premium rate of over 40% [95][99]. - **Financial Performance**: From Q1 to Q3 in 2025, the profitability of most issuers of agrochemical convertible bonds has recovered. The operating net cash flow of most issuers has shown continuous inflow or improvement, and the asset - liability ratio at the end of Q3 in 2025 is generally controllable [3][103]. 3.5 Individual Bond Situations - **Xingfa Convertible Bonds**: The issuer, Xingfa Group, is a leading enterprise in the phosphate chemical industry, with advantages in phosphate rock mining rights and power costs. It has a complete phosphate chemical industry chain, and its new energy materials business is advancing. In 2025, from Q1 to Q3, its profitability was stable, and the net profit increased year - on - year [108][110]. - **Suli Convertible Bonds**: The issuer, Suli Co., Ltd., is engaged in pesticides, flame retardants, and other fine chemical products.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2026, the overcapacity situation of industrial silicon is expected to continue, but policy - end regulation will have a guiding effect. Production is expected to increase slightly by 3%, with overall demand increasing by about 5%. The mainstream price range is expected to be between 7,600 yuan/ton and 9,400 yuan/ton, and factors such as capacity optimization, enterprise dynamic production adjustment, and upward price transmission in the photovoltaic industry chain should be focused on [3][94]. - Compared with industrial silicon, polysilicon has greater variability. Currently, polysilicon has overcapacity and high inventory, but policy - based storage and price - support from leading enterprises provide strong support, driving up the prices of downstream silicon wafers and solar cells and contributing to the profit recovery of the photovoltaic industry. In 2026, it still faces the challenge of declining terminal demand. Policy implementation (energy - consumption regulations + platform - based storage) will have a significant impact on polysilicon prices. Capacity elimination and optimization are relatively certain events, and with the increasing concentration of production enterprises' capacity, polysilicon is generally "prone to rise but difficult to fall". It is recommended to conduct risk - hedging based on production conditions [4][97]. Summary According to the Table of Contents 1. Review of Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon Market in 2025 (1) Industrial Silicon Futures - The price trend in 2025 can be divided into three stages: continued decline from 2024 until early June, a rebound from early June to mid - July, and a consolidation period from August to the end of the year. The price dropped to a minimum of 6,990 yuan/ton in early June, with a decline of 36.5% from the beginning of the year, then rebounded to a maximum of 10,060 yuan/ton in mid - July, a 43.9% increase from the early - June low. The market entered a state of "subtle balance" later, with supply and demand both decreasing, high inventory but slight destocking, and reduced trading volume [7][10][11]. - In terms of the basis, the basis was relatively low in the first quarter. It reached the annual high in the second quarter as the futures price declined rapidly. In the third and fourth quarters, the basis was mainly driven by the futures price, with the spot price being 400 - 800 yuan/ton higher than the futures price, showing an obvious inverse market pattern [14]. (2) Polysilicon Futures - The price trend in 2025 can be divided into four stages: a calm period during the "rush - installation wave" from the beginning of the year to early April; a decline due to oversupply from early April to mid - late June, with the price dropping to a minimum of 30,400 yuan/ton, a 30% decline; a price increase boosted by the "anti - involution" policy from late June to late July, with the price reaching a maximum of 55,605 yuan/ton, an 83% increase in one month; and a high - level consolidation period from early August to the end of the year under the contradiction of "weak supply - demand vs. strong policy". The futures price fluctuated in the range of 48,000 - 56,000 yuan/ton, and reached a maximum of 61,985 yuan/ton after the establishment of the storage platform [15][18][20]. - The basis was relatively stable from January to April, around - 4,000 yuan/ton, then converged as the price fluctuated. From late July to mid - September, the futures price was higher than the spot price. The basis gradually widened from late October and exceeded - 10,000 yuan/ton by the end of the year [21]. 2. Industrial Silicon Market Analysis (1) Capacity - In 2026, the effective capacity is expected to decline. The domestic industrial silicon capacity at the end of 2025 was 7.879 million tons. It is expected that 400,000 - 500,000 tons of new capacity will be added in 2026, while some capacity (mainly in Sichuan and Yunnan) will continue to be phased out, and the supply center will shift northward. The domestic industrial silicon capacity in 2026 is expected to be 8 - 8.2 million tons, with the effective capacity below 7.5 million tons [23]. - In 2025, the domestic industrial silicon capacity continued to expand. By November 2025, the capacity was 7.879 million tons, with an increase of 600,000 tons during the year, including 400,000 tons of newly - put - into - operation capacity and about 200,000 tons of restarted idle capacity. The incremental capacity mainly came from Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Sichuan, Yunnan, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Gansu [24]. - Policy impact on industrial silicon is relatively limited. The "Industrial Structure Adjustment Guidance Catalog (2024 Edition)" requires the elimination of certain types of furnaces, but the proportion of affected capacity is small (about 5% or 400,000 tons, mostly already shut down). The "anti - involution" policy has a limited impact on industrial silicon, and production is more affected by profit factors. As capacity further concentrates in the northern regions, the effect of joint production cuts by large enterprises is expected to improve [25][28]. - For new capacity in 2026, it is expected to be 400,000 - 500,000 tons. There are currently about 200,000 tons of completed but un - put - into - operation capacity (expected to be put into production in the first half of 2026) and 700,000 tons under construction (expected to be put into production in batches). The new capacity is highly concentrated in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang, accounting for 80%, and the project commissioning time will be concentrated in the first half of the year and the third quarter [29][33]. (2) Production - In 2025, the domestic industrial silicon production was about 4.27 million tons, a 12.8% year - on - year decrease, and the annual capacity utilization rate was about 54%. The production in the northern regions increased, with Xinjiang accounting for 52% of the total production from January to November 2025, and the four northern provinces (Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, and Ningxia) accounting for 81%, while Sichuan and Yunnan together accounted for less than 17% [34][37]. - The output of substitute products decreased. The output of 97 - silicon was expected to be about 110,000 tons in 2025, a 73% year - on - year decrease, and the output of recycled silicon was 180,000 tons, a 28% year - on - year decrease [41]. (3) Demand 1: Organic Silicon - In 2025, the production of organic silicon was basically flat. The cumulative production of domestic organic silicon DMC and other polysiloxanes in 2025 was expected to reach 2.72 million tons, almost the same as in 2024. The domestic consumption was 2.2 million tons, and the export was 203,200 tons, showing a tight balance with a slight surplus. The DMC price is currently in the range of 13,500 - 14,000 yuan/ton, and the profitability of enterprises has been significantly restored [44][47]. - In 2026, the organic silicon industry is also facing overcapacity, with no new device plans. Production or maintenance will be adjusted according to downstream demand. The downstream demand is relatively scattered, and the future growth points may be in smart wear and new energy. It is expected that the demand will increase slightly by 1 - 3% [47]. (4) Demand 2: Aluminum Alloy - In 2025, the price of aluminum alloy showed a volatile and upward - trending pattern, and the price center increased in line with the price of primary aluminum. The cumulative production of domestic aluminum alloy from January to November 2025 was 17.456 million tons, a 15.8% year - on - year increase, and the annual production is expected to exceed 18 million tons, reaching a new high. The driving factors include the booming demand for new - energy vehicles, the accelerated release of recycled aluminum capacity, technological upgrades, and policy support [49][50]. - In 2026, the production of aluminum alloy is expected to continue to grow steadily by more than 10%. The main supporting factors include the implementation of "two new" policies in the new - energy vehicle sector, the increasing demand for aluminum alloy in energy storage and 5G fields, the possible supply shortage of recycled aluminum, and the gradual reaching of full production capacity by leading enterprises [54]. (5) Import and Export - In 2025, China's industrial silicon exports were expected to be 746,000 tons, a slight increase from the previous year. Overseas markets mainly purchase on demand, and exports in 2026 are expected to remain stable with limited growth [56]. (6) Cost and Profit - Electricity and silicon - coal account for about 75% of the total raw material cost of industrial silicon, and the price of coal has a higher correlation with the price of industrial silicon. Cost and profit are the main references for enterprises to adjust production [58]. - In the long - term, the electricity cost has a downward trend, but the regional and enterprise - level cost differences will increase. In 2026, the electricity price in low - price regions such as Xinjiang, Gansu, and Shandong is expected to decline, while in high - price regions such as Shanghai, Anhui, and Guangdong, it will be more resilient. The electricity price in intermediate regions such as Yunnan, Jiangxi, and Hebei South Grid will be stable [61][62]. - The price of silicon - coal has a significant impact on cost changes. The price increase of coal in early June 2025 boosted the price of industrial silicon [63]. 3. Polysilicon Market Analysis (1) 2025: Continued Overcapacity - From 2022 to 2024, the domestic polysilicon capacity expanded nearly six times. In 2025, the domestic polysilicon capacity was expected to be 3.32 million tons, with an effective capacity of 3.123 million tons, a 10.5% year - on - year increase. The production was expected to be 1.33 million tons, a 26% year - on - year decrease, and the annual capacity utilization rate was about 40% [64][67]. - In terms of demand, the domestic silicon wafer production in 2025 was 649 GW, and the consumption of polysilicon was about 1.23 million tons. With exports of 23,500 tons and imports of 19,000 tons, the domestic polysilicon market still had overcapacity, but the surplus was narrower than in 2023 and 2024 [71]. (2) Supply - For capacity changes in 2026, it can be analyzed from three aspects: project planning, energy - consumption regulations, and platform - based storage. It is expected that more than 400,000 tons of new capacity will be put into production by the end of 2026 [72]. - Energy - consumption regulations will adjust the polysilicon capacity. About 450,000 tons of existing capacity may not meet the new energy - consumption standards and will be phased out, and some capacity needs to be technically upgraded. After the implementation of the new standards, the domestic effective polysilicon capacity is expected to drop to about 2.4 million tons per year [72]. - The storage platform "Beijing Guanghe Qiancheng Technology Co., Ltd." was registered in December 2025. It plans to adopt a dual - track operation mode of "debt - assumption acquisition + flexible capacity storage" to optimize the capacity structure. The goal is to shut down 1 - 1.2 million tons of capacity and retain 1.5 million tons of effective capacity [72][73]. - The supply in 2026 largely depends on policy - end regulation, and it is preliminarily estimated that the supply will be between 1.4 - 1.5 million tons [77]. (3) Demand - In 2025, the nominal capacity of each link in the photovoltaic industry chain was high, but the actual production was affected by weak demand and industry self - regulation. The production of polysilicon decreased for the first time in 12 years, the growth rate of silicon wafer and module production slowed down, and the capacity investment in solar cells continued to grow [78][79]. - In 2026, global photovoltaic installation will benefit from energy transformation, emerging market development, and policy support. However, the demand in China, the United States, and Europe is expected to remain stable or decline. The demand for domestic polysilicon should not be overly optimistic due to factors such as the loss of downstream products, the possible reduction of domestic installation after the subsidy withdrawal, and the restriction of exports by other countries. The demand for polysilicon is estimated to range from 1.32 - 1.58 million tons under different installation scenarios [83][84]. (4) Inventory - As of the end of December 2025, the total inventory of polysilicon was 523,000 tons, reaching a recent high. The inventory of silicon wafers, solar cells, and modules was in a relatively normal state, but the module inventory showed a cumulative trend in the second half of the year [86]. - It is expected that the polysilicon inventory will remain high in the first quarter of 2026 and may increase further. It will decline in the second and third quarters as demand recovers and the installation season arrives, and enter a stable period in the fourth quarter [88]. (5) Cost - The cost of polysilicon is mainly composed of electricity, silicon powder, and other raw materials, with electricity accounting for about 50%. The "anti - involution" policy in 2025 prohibited selling below cost [89]. - There are differences in the calculation basis of polysilicon cost between market participants and production enterprises. In 2026, with the progress of the industrial storage platform, the concentration of production will further increase, and it will play a leading role in guiding the cost and price of polysilicon, which is an important bottom - support for the price [90]. 4. Summary: Supply - Demand Structure and Strategy Suggestions for Industrial Silicon and Polysilicon in 2026 (1) Industrial Silicon - In 2026, the overcapacity of industrial silicon is expected to continue, but policy regulation will guide production to increase slightly by 3% and demand to increase by about 5%. The mainstream price range is expected to be 7,600 - 9,400 yuan/ton, and factors such as capacity optimization, enterprise production adjustment, and price transmission in the photovoltaic industry chain should be focused on [94]. (2) Polysilicon - Polysilicon has greater variability. Currently, it has overcapacity and high inventory, but policy - based storage and price - support from leading enterprises provide strong support. In 2026, it faces the challenge of declining terminal demand, and policy implementation will have a significant impact on prices. Capacity elimination and optimization are certain events, and polysilicon is generally "prone to rise but difficult to fall". It is recommended to conduct risk - hedging based on production conditions [97][98].

Emerging markets will contribute to global photovoltaic growth. The global newly - added photovoltaic installation will be 540GW, with a component demand of about 600GW and a Chinese silicon wafer demand of around 600GW. Supply - side, polysilicon production will be controlled within 1.05 million tons, and the entire industry's supply will be 1.35 million tons [4]. Trading Logic - In 2026, the terminal demand for polysilicon is likely to decline. Under the guidance of "anti - involution" and industry self - discipline, polysilicon enterprises will sell according to demand, which will raise the price center in 2026. Constrained by the price law and anti - unfair competition law, the polysilicon price is difficult to fall below 45,000 yuan/ton. If the component price rises to 0.8 yuan/W in 2025, the high - end price of polysilicon in 2026 can be referred to as 75,000 yuan/ton under the extreme assumption of profit transfer to silicon materials. The polysilicon futures price will be generally strong in 2026, and a long - biased approach is recommended [5]. Strategy Recommendation - Unilateral: With the price center rising, take a long - biased approach, with the price range referring to (45,000, 75,000). - Arbitrage: As anti - involution in the polysilicon industry continues to advance and production is bound to decrease, go long on polysilicon and short on industrial silicon [7]. 2. Fundamental Situation Market Review - In December 2024, the photovoltaic industry association organized self - discipline among enterprises in the entire industry chain. Downstream crystal - pulling factories started a new round of inventory replenishment, and the spot price of polysilicon increased. In January, the polysilicon futures price was volatile and strong, once breaking through 45,000 yuan/ton. After Document No. 136, terminal installation rush accelerated, but due to high polysilicon inventory, the spot price was difficult to rise, and the futures price was volatile. After April, the installation rush subsided, and the component price faced pressure. First - tier polysilicon enterprises considered price cuts to reduce inventory, and the futures price dropped significantly. From May to June, the terminal demand declined after the installation rush subsided, and the prices in the entire industry chain fell, with the futures price breaking below the industry's cash - cost line. After July, the polysilicon industry started "anti - involution" and capacity integration. With the expectations of "sales at no less than cost" and "capacity storage", funds entered the market, pushing up the futures price. After September, the futures price rose above 50,000 yuan/ton. Due to slow progress in capacity integration, the futures valuation was difficult to give a higher premium, and the market was volatile. In December, the small number of trading warehouse receipts of polysilicon futures and the establishment of platform companies led to a volatile increase in price, breaking through 60,000 yuan/ton [9]. Demand - **Domestic Terminal Demand**: In 2026, the Chinese photovoltaic market will be squeezed by electricity price decline and cost increase. In 2025, the newly - added photovoltaic installation was expected to reach 300GW, a year - on - year increase of 8.3%. In 2026, the newly - added centralized photovoltaic installation may decline by more than 60GW year - on - year, and in the best - case scenario, the newly - added distributed photovoltaic installation will not increase year - on - year. Overall, the newly - added photovoltaic installation in 2026 is expected to be in the range of 230 - 240GW, a decline of over 20% year - on - year [13][14]. - **Overseas Terminal Demand**: In 2026, the US photovoltaic market will be affected by policy changes, and the newly - added photovoltaic installation is expected to decline to around 35GW. In Europe, due to economic pressure and power consumption capacity constraints, the newly - added photovoltaic installation is expected to decline by 5% year - on - year to 65 - 67GW. Emerging markets represented by India will contribute to the global newly - added photovoltaic installation demand [20][21]. - **Silicon Wafer, Battery, and Component Industries**: In 2026, the export volume of photovoltaic components may remain unchanged year - on - year, while the export volume of photovoltaic batteries will increase year - on - year. The production schedules of domestic silicon wafers, batteries, and components in 2026 will be adjusted downward year - on - year. The demand for polysilicon in 2026 is expected to decline to around 1.08 - 1.1 million tons [25][26]. Supply - The "Polysilicon Capacity Integration and Acquisition Platform" has been officially established, but in 2026, the scale of acquired capacity is about 400,000 tons, which has limited impact on actual supply. There is a market rumor that polysilicon enterprises reached a self - discipline initiative at the Xi'an Photovoltaic Annual Conference, aiming to control the total supply within 1 million tons in 2026. Even if the initiative is not effectively implemented, the core goal of polysilicon enterprises is to reduce inventory and maintain cash flow. It is expected that after February 2026, polysilicon enterprises will promote production - reduction plans, and the production in February will be reduced to below 90,000 tons [37][38]. Inventory - Currently, the factory inventory of polysilicon enterprises is close to 300,000 tons, the non - standard inventory of middle - stream futures and spot traders is 15,000 - 20,000 tons, and the new and old warehouse receipts are about 27,000 tons. The downstream inventory is about 150,000 tons. In 2026, under the background of demand - based sales, the total inventory of the polysilicon industry is expected to decline slightly [41]. 3. Future Outlook and Strategy Recommendation Fundamental Outlook - Similar to the supply - demand outlook in the preface summary, in 2026, the domestic newly - added photovoltaic installation will decline, the overseas market will have different trends, and the polysilicon supply will be controlled within 1.05 million tons [45]. Trading Logic Analysis - Similar to the trading logic in the preface summary, the terminal demand for polysilicon is likely to decline in 2026. Anti - involution and industry self - discipline will raise the price center, with the price difficult to fall below 45,000 yuan/ton and the high - end price referring to 75,000 yuan/ton [46]. Operation Strategy - Unilateral: Buy on dips. - Arbitrage: As anti - involution in the polysilicon industry continues and production decreases, go long on polysilicon and short on industrial silicon [46].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - If the polysilicon industry's self - discipline is perfectly executed, the demand for industrial silicon from the three major downstream sectors and exports will decline by 5.61% year - on - year to 4 million and 50 thousand tons in 2026. Without supply - side policies, the over - capacity pattern of industrial silicon remains unchanged, and the supply in 2026 will remain loose, with an expected output of about 4 million and 10 thousand tons. The inventory structure will play a stronger role in determining the price of industrial silicon. The cost of industrial silicon in 2026 is expected to change little compared with 2025 [4][54]. - In 2026, the industrial silicon futures will be mainly priced based on cost, with the price range mainly considering the cost in the northwest and the marginal cost of high - cost enterprises in the southwest during the wet season, referring to (7,400, 10,000). The price of industrial silicon futures is expected to fall first and then rise throughout the year. If supply - side policies are introduced, the price of industrial silicon will experience a large - scale unilateral increase [5][54]. Summary by Directory Part One: Preface Summary Supply - Demand Outlook - If the polysilicon industry's self - discipline is perfectly executed, the demand for industrial silicon from the three major downstream sectors and exports will decline by 5.61% year - on - year to 405 tons in 2026. Without supply - side policies, the over - capacity pattern remains unchanged, and the supply in 2026 will remain loose, with an expected output of about 410 tons. The total inventory of the industrial silicon industry is expected to maintain at 1 million tons, and the inventory structure will have a stronger influence on the price. The cost of industrial silicon in 2026 is expected to change little compared with 2025 [4]. Trading Logic - In 2026, the industrial silicon futures will be mainly priced based on cost, with the price range referring to (7,400, 10,000). After the futures price rises in December 2025, silicon plants in the northwest may conduct a new round of hedging and maintain a high operating rate in the first quarter of 2026. With the weakening demand in the first quarter of 2026, the futures price may decline. After the second quarter, attention should be paid to the changes in the cost side and downstream demand. The price of industrial silicon futures is expected to fall first and then rise throughout the year. If supply - side policies are introduced, the price of industrial silicon will have a large - scale unilateral increase [5]. Strategy Recommendation - Unilateral: There may be a decline in the first quarter. After the second quarter, pay attention to the inventory structure and cost changes. Operate within the annual price range of (7,400, 10,000). - Arbitrage: Go long on polysilicon and short on industrial silicon. - Spot - futures: The leading effect of spot - futures business is becoming more obvious. Moderately compress the unit profit expectation. Consider scale priority and channel protection while controlling risks [6]. Part Two: Fundamental Situation Market Review - January - June 2025: High inventory and cost collapse led to a unilateral decline. In January, industrial silicon enterprises reduced production, but downstream replenishment demand was weak, resulting in inventory accumulation. After February, organic silicon enterprises jointly reduced production, and polysilicon demand was weak. In March, although some enterprises planned to reduce production, new production capacity increased marginal supply. From April to May, Sino - US tariff frictions, the collapse of polysilicon and organic silicon prices, and the decline of coking coal prices led to cost collapse. The futures price was priced according to the cash cost of northwest manufacturers, and the lowest price in early June was below 7,000 yuan/ton [9]. - June - August 2025: The recovery of demand and the increase in cost driven by the strengthening of coal prices led to a rebound in the futures price. In early June, the futures price reached the cash cost line of self - supplied power plants in the northwest, and the basis strengthened. After the rebound of coking coal prices, short - selling funds took profits and left the market. In late June, the expectation of "anti - involution" increased, and the prices of polysilicon and coking coal futures strengthened. In July, the price of polysilicon futures continued to rise, and the increase in coal prices further pushed up the cost. After the price soared, silicon plants conducted intensive hedging. In August, although the demand for polysilicon was strong, the market was still in an over - supply state, and the futures price followed the decline of coking coal prices [10]. - September - December 2025: There was no prominent contradiction in the fundamentals, and the market was priced based on cost, showing a volatile trend. Since September, industrial silicon inventory has increased slightly, but the inventory is mainly concentrated in the hands of traders, and the market is difficult to form a positive or negative cash - futures cycle. The market trend is similar to that of coking coal [11]. Demand - In 2026, the demand growth rate of organic silicon for industrial silicon will slow down. The traditional construction industry has been in a downturn since 2022, and the photovoltaic industry has also entered a downturn since 2025. The new energy vehicle industry is expected to maintain its prosperity in 2026, but the subsidy decline may lead to a slowdown in demand growth. The overseas photovoltaic component production capacity is increasing, and the export of domestic photovoltaic components is difficult to increase year - on - year. The production process improvement of organic silicon enterprises will also reduce the demand for industrial silicon [18][19]. - In 2026, the demand for industrial silicon from polysilicon will decrease by 20% year - on - year. If the self - discipline initiative of polysilicon enterprises is effectively implemented, the production of polysilicon in 2026 will be limited to within 1.05 million tons. Even if the initiative is not effectively implemented, polysilicon enterprises will focus on inventory reduction and cash flow maintenance, which will lead to a reduction in demand for industrial silicon [25]. - The demand growth rate of aluminum alloy is stable, but exports are under pressure. The total demand for aluminum alloy may maintain an increasing trend, with an expected growth rate of about 5%. The export of industrial silicon has decreased year - on - year in 2025, and the export regulations have become more stringent since October. The overseas market space may be compressed in 2026, and it is optimistically expected that the export volume will not increase year - on - year [26][28]. - Overall, if the polysilicon industry's self - discipline is strictly implemented, the total demand for industrial silicon in 2026 may decline by 5.61% to 405 tons. The demand in the first quarter of 2026 will be under pressure, and it may increase in the second quarter [29][31]. Supply - In 2026, the new production capacity of industrial silicon is limited. The total production capacity of projects with high probability of production in 2026 is about 400 thousand tons [31]. - The expectation of supply - side policies for industrial silicon is strong. The policies mainly focus on energy consumption constraints and the elimination of small - furnace capacity. Stricter energy consumption standards may impose hard constraints on supply, and the elimination of furnaces below 12,500KVA will significantly reduce the production capacity in the short term [34]. - In 2026, the supply of industrial silicon will decrease year - on - year. The actual effective production capacity of industrial silicon in 2026 will reach 8 million tons, but the supply mainly depends on regional profits and the inventory storage capacity of middle - stream traders. The silicon plants in the northwest have strong operating resilience, some silicon plants in the southwest still have the motivation to operate, and the inventory storage capacity of traders has room for increase. It is estimated that the supply of mainstream grades of industrial silicon in 2026 will be about 4.1 million tons [37][40]. Cost - In 2026, the domestic coal supply will be relatively stable under the dual effects of "anti - involution" and supply guarantee, and the coal price is difficult to have large - scale fluctuations. The supply of silica is sufficient, and its price is also difficult to rise. Overall, the cost of industrial silicon in 2026 will not be lower than that in 2025, nor will it increase significantly [45]. Inventory - In 2026, the industrial silicon market will still be in an over - supply situation and will be mainly priced based on cost, with more structural market conditions. The evolution of the inventory structure may lead to positive or negative cash - futures cycles and increase the price volatility [49]. Part Three: Future Outlook and Strategy Recommendation - Supply - demand outlook is consistent with the content in the preface summary, emphasizing that the demand will decline, the supply will remain loose, the inventory structure will have a stronger influence on the price, and the cost will change little [54]. - Trading logic is the same as that in the preface summary, indicating that the futures will be priced based on cost, the price will fall first and then rise, and the introduction of supply - side policies will lead to a large - scale unilateral increase in price [54]. - Operation strategies include unilateral operation within the price range, arbitrage of going long on polysilicon and short on industrial silicon, and spot - futures business considering scale and channel while controlling risks [55][57].
