Core Viewpoint - The silicon wafer market is currently stable, with prices showing no significant changes week-on-week, despite weak domestic demand and a strong willingness among manufacturers to maintain prices due to cost support from stable polysilicon prices [1][2]. Group 1: Current Market Conditions - The average transaction prices for various types of N-type silicon wafers are as follows: G10L at 1.32 CNY/piece, G12R at 1.40 CNY/piece, and G12 at 1.68 CNY/piece, with no significant changes compared to the previous week [1]. - The overall operating rates in the industry remain stable, with leading companies operating at 54% and 52%, while integrated companies operate between 56% and 80% [1]. - Downstream battery and module prices are stable, with mainstream battery prices at 0.29-0.30 CNY/W and module prices at 0.66-0.68 CNY/W, unchanged from the previous week [1]. Group 2: Future Market Outlook - The demand for terminal components in the fourth quarter appears pessimistic, putting pressure on silicon wafer companies, leading to a weak consolidation in the short term [2]. - However, as upstream polysilicon and silicon wafer companies implement maintenance and production reduction plans, the supply-demand relationship is expected to improve, leading to a more optimistic medium to long-term market outlook [2].
