Core Viewpoint - The price of polysilicon continues to rise due to supply-demand dynamics and regulatory support in the photovoltaic industry [2] Price Trends - The transaction price range for n-type polysilicon is between 45,000 to 52,000 CNY/ton, with an average price of 47,900 CNY/ton, reflecting a week-on-week increase of 1.05% [1] - The transaction price range for n-type granular silicon is between 45,000 to 47,000 CNY/ton, with an average price of 46,000 CNY/ton, showing a week-on-week increase of 3.37% [1] - The number of companies signing contracts for polysilicon this week is six, indicating a stable yet rising market price [1] Market Dynamics - The price increase is supported by a joint meeting of six ministries aimed at regulating competition in the photovoltaic industry, signaling a commitment to avoid excessive competition [2] - Polysilicon companies are implementing production and sales restrictions, alleviating market pressure on supply and demand [2] - Major polysilicon producers are reducing production, which is expected to increase overall costs and lead to higher market prices due to regulatory constraints [2] Production and Inventory - The number of polysilicon producers remains at nine, with an expected production of approximately 125,000 tons in August [2] - If production and sales restrictions are effectively implemented in September, monthly output is expected to remain stable, but the current oversupply situation has not improved significantly [2] - Industry inventory is projected to continue accumulating, with an estimated increase of about 20,000 tons from August to September [2] Price Statistics - The highest and lowest transaction prices for n-type polysilicon are 52,000 CNY/ton and 45,000 CNY/ton, respectively, with an average price of 47,900 CNY/ton [3] - The price fluctuations for n-type granular silicon show a highest price of 47,000 CNY/ton and a lowest price of 45,000 CNY/ton, with an average price increase of 3.37% [3] Participating Companies - The companies involved in the price statistics include Sichuan Yongxiang Co., Ltd., GCL-Poly Energy Holdings Limited, and Xinjiang Goin Technology Co., Ltd., among others [4]

Report Investment Rating The report does not mention the investment rating for the polysilicon industry. Core Views - **Strategy**: For the 2506 contract, it is advisable to be cautiously bullish. When the market rebounds above 40,000 yuan/ton, producers can consider selling hedging at high prices. In the short term, conduct a positive spread arbitrage between the 06 and 07 contracts. If the warehouse receipt volume starts to increase rapidly, switch to a reverse spread arbitrage. There are no strategies for cross - variety and spot - futures operations. For options, sell near - month deep out - of - the - money put options and buy call options [6][7][69]. - **Industry Situation**: The polysilicon upstream and downstream industries have high concentration, with leading enterprises having a large share of production capacity. Most enterprises are currently in a state of losing cash costs, and several polysilicon listed companies reported losses in the first quarter. Some enterprises have shut down for a long time, and most have reduced production loads. The number of polysilicon types and grades is large, and it is subject to brand - based delivery. The standard delivery product on the market is n - type dense material, with relatively high delivery requirements and large discounts for alternative delivery products. The amount of warehouse receipts registered by manufacturers at the current market price is expected to be very small [9][70]. Summary by Directory 1. Polysilicon Production Overview - **Production Enterprises**: The polysilicon industry has high concentration, with the top four enterprises (Tongwei Co., Ltd., GCL Technology, Daqo New Energy, and Xinte Energy) having a combined market share of over 60%. Each of these enterprises has its own development strategy and production characteristics [14][15]. - **Capacity and Output**: By the end of 2024, the polysilicon production capacity reached about 2.86 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 42%, but the capacity utilization rate was only about 30%. Leading enterprises are still expanding production capacity. Due to industry self - restraint on production, the production enthusiasm of enterprises is limited, and the output is expected to decline slightly. The industry has been in a de - stocking pattern since 2025, but the high total inventory has a large inhibitory effect on the spot market [18]. - **Downstream Enterprises**: The downstream of polysilicon is also highly concentrated. According to the 2024 production capacity statistics, the top 5 enterprises account for nearly 53% of the production capacity, and the top 2 account for 33% [23]. - **Cost**: The production cost of polysilicon mainly consists of raw material cost, electricity cost, labor cost, depreciation cost, and technological differences. The raw material, electricity, and depreciation costs account for about 80% of the total cost. Leading enterprises have different production costs due to differences in electricity cost ratios and technological routes [26]. 2. Polysilicon Classification - **Physical Form**: Polysilicon can be classified into block silicon and granular silicon. Block silicon has a stable quality and can be stored for a long time, while granular silicon can avoid the crushing step but is easily contaminated [28]. - **Purity**: It can be divided into metallurgical - grade polysilicon (MG - Si), solar - grade polysilicon (SOG - Si), and electronic - grade polysilicon (SEG - Si) in descending order of purity [33]. - **Downstream Doping and Conductivity Type**: Solar - grade polysilicon is mainly divided into N - type and P - type, depending on the type of doping impurities [34]. - **Surface State**: Block silicon can be further divided into dense material, cauliflower - like material, and coral - like material. Dense material is mainly used for pulling single - crystal silicon, while cauliflower - like and coral - like materials are mainly used for making poly - silicon wafers [35]. 3. Polysilicon Delivery Rules Interpretation - **Brand Delivery System**: Polysilicon futures implement a brand - based delivery system. The delivery products must be from registered brands approved by the exchange. Registered brand products can be warehoused without inspection if the owner can provide relevant quality certificates. There are 7 enterprises with 12 production plants in the first batch of registered brands [41][42]. - **Delivery Details**: The delivery area covers 8 provinces (autonomous regions), and there is no premium or discount between regions. The delivery unit is 30 tons per lot. The warehouse receipt has a 6 - month validity period, and products with a production date over 90 days cannot be registered as warehouse receipts. The delivery methods include one - time delivery, rolling delivery, and futures - to - cash transactions [49][50][53]. - **Delivery Requirements**: The benchmark delivery product is N - type block silicon, and the alternative is P - type block silicon with a discount of 12,000 yuan/ton. Strict quality indicators are specified, and packaging and storage requirements are also defined. There are also position - limit and risk - control measures [58][63][64]. 4. Polysilicon Delivery and Recent Market Analysis and Outlook - **Delivery Situation**: The current market price is expected to result in a very small amount of warehouse receipts. The recent market has seen continuous increases in positions and price declines, with low trading volume. The 2506 contract is expected to rise in the short term, and it is estimated that the market price needs to be above 39,000 yuan/ton for warehouse receipt registration to be cost - effective, and above 40,000 yuan/ton for producers to have a strong willingness to register [66][67]. 5. Summary - **Industry Status**: The polysilicon upstream and downstream industries are highly concentrated, and most enterprises are in a state of loss. There are many types and grades of polysilicon, and the delivery requirements are high. The amount of warehouse receipts registered at the current market price is expected to be small [70]. - **Strategy**: The same as the core strategy, including unilateral, cross - period, cross - variety, spot - futures, and option strategies [69].

Summary of the Conference Call on the Photovoltaic Polysilicon Industry Industry Overview - The polysilicon market is currently experiencing weak transaction volumes post the May Day holiday, with upstream polysilicon manufacturers reluctant to sell and downstream crystal pulling factories adopting a wait-and-see approach. Overall prices are maintaining around 37 RMB per kilogram [1][2][4] - As of the end of April, polysilicon inventory is approximately 260,000 tons, with a slight increase due to some shipments [1][3] - The production of polysilicon has decreased month-on-month since April, with an estimated production of 96,000 tons in April and a forecast of 93,000 to 94,000 tons in May. This decline is attributed to a 10% to 20% production cut by a leading company and maintenance shutdowns by several second and third-tier companies [2][10] Pricing Dynamics - The market reference price for standard dense material (futures delivery product) is about 37 RMB per kilogram, while the price for alternative delivery products (P-type dense material) is slightly above 34 RMB per kilogram. Mixed package material prices range from 36 to 37 RMB per kilogram [1][3][4] - There is a price negotiation between leading manufacturers, who are quoting around 36 to 37 RMB, and crystal pulling factories, which are hoping to procure at 35 to 36 RMB [1][4] - The cash cost for leading companies is around 27,000 RMB per ton, but the production cost for delivery products is higher due to increased quality requirements and energy consumption, potentially exceeding 30,000 RMB per ton [1][7][17] Market Sentiment and Future Outlook - Polysilicon manufacturers are generally pessimistic about demand in the third quarter, hoping for prices to stabilize and recover soon. Some production capacities are being reduced or delayed in resuming operations [2][18] - Currently, no manufacturers are profitable when considering full costs, although some can maintain operations based on cash costs [19] - There is a cautious approach to purchasing among small and medium-sized polysilicon manufacturers due to uncertainties in silicon wafer prices and existing inventory levels [24] Production and Quality Considerations - The production of delivery products requires specialized production lines, and not all capacities can produce these products due to higher quality standards [16][26] - The energy consumption for producing N-type dense material is approximately 45 to 48 kWh, while mixed package materials require about 53 kWh, leading to higher costs for the latter [26][27] Additional Insights - The market is currently seeing a stagnation in transactions, with many downstream manufacturers adopting a wait-and-see attitude. Some manufacturers are holding back on selling their products, indicating a cautious market sentiment [12][20] - The industry has a self-regulatory mechanism in place to ensure production capacity coordination, which is being actively enforced [31] - The acceptance of granular silicon is improving, with an increased technical blending ratio, although this is contingent on the quality of silicon wafers and the control of associated risks [31]
