Summary of the Conference Call on Polysilicon Market Outlook and Industry Supply-Demand Assessment Industry Overview - The conference call focuses on the polysilicon industry, particularly in China, and its supply-demand dynamics for 2025 [1][2][4]. Key Points and Arguments Supply and Production - Due to production cuts in Xinjiang and Ningxia, polysilicon output is expected to drop to 90,000 tons in May 2025, with potential delays in the resumption of production in Yunnan and Sichuan until June or July [1][2]. - The overall polysilicon production capacity is approximately 2.9 million tons, but the operating rate has fallen to 34%, with monthly production around 95,000 tons in April, expected to decrease further [14]. - Inventory levels are high, with upstream polysilicon plants holding about 260,000 tons and total industry inventory around 360,000 to 380,000 tons, equivalent to three months of demand [9][14]. Demand Trends - China's photovoltaic (PV) installation growth is projected to enter a downward cycle starting in 2024, with a further decline expected in 2025, leading to an estimated annual new installation capacity of 240 GW, down by approximately 40 GW year-on-year [1][3][4]. - The demand for polysilicon is primarily driven by the PV installation sector, but recent policy changes, including the requirement for new grid-connected PV projects to participate in electricity spot trading, may negatively impact project profitability and lead to a demand vacuum in Q3 2025 [3][4]. Price Dynamics - The polysilicon market is experiencing downward pressure on prices due to weak supply and demand. Current market conditions suggest that both spot and futures prices may fluctuate [6][9]. - The price of polysilicon is currently under pressure, with expectations that it may drop to around 33,000 to 34,000 yuan per ton in the second half of the year, as the cash cost line is estimated to be around 35,000 yuan [16][21]. Market Sentiment and Future Outlook - The market sentiment is cautious, with expectations of continued price declines in the short term due to high inventory levels and weak demand [9][17]. - The establishment of a production reduction alliance among major polysilicon manufacturers is still under negotiation, which could potentially stabilize prices if implemented effectively [20]. Additional Insights - The conference highlighted the importance of monitoring the resumption of production at various plants and the actual implementation of production cuts by major manufacturers, as these factors will significantly influence future market trends [7][20]. - The call also discussed the potential for supply-side reforms in the polysilicon industry, including capacity consolidation and the elimination of outdated production capacity, which could help restore price stability and improve profitability in the long term [12][13]. Conclusion - The polysilicon industry is currently facing significant challenges, including high inventory levels, declining demand, and price pressures. The outlook for 2025 suggests a continued downward trend unless effective measures are taken to address supply-side issues and stabilize market conditions [21].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core View of the Report - On May 7, polysilicon showed a weak and fluctuating trend. The main contract 2506 closed at 35,520 yuan/ton, with an intraday decline of 3.14%. The position increased by 9,467 lots to 63,290 lots. The SMM N-type polysilicon material price was 40,500 yuan/ton, and the price of the lowest deliverable N-type polysilicon material was also 40,500 yuan/ton. The spot premium over the main contract widened to 4,980 yuan/ton. Industrial silicon also showed a weak and fluctuating trend. The main contract 2506 closed at 8,290 yuan/ton, with an intraday decline of 0.96%. The position increased by 3,246 lots to 18,280 lots. The Baichuan industrial silicon spot reference price was 9,617 yuan/ton, down 20 yuan/ton from the previous trading day. The price of the lowest deliverable 553 silicon dropped to 8,550 yuan/ton, and the spot premium narrowed to 205 yuan/ton. Before the holiday, traders cleared their inventories and pressured prices, and the downstream's willingness to stock up was lower than in previous years. After the holiday, the downstream demand still faced the pressure of a slowdown. In the short term, industrial silicon was difficult to break away from the bottom-finding rhythm due to the negative feedback from the downstream. For polysilicon, opportunities for the convergence of the spread between near and far months could be considered. Attention should be paid to whether new large-scale infrastructure or mandatory photovoltaic installation assessment policies would be introduced after the decline of distributed photovoltaics, which might trigger an oversold rebound [2]. 3.
