On January 2, according to news from the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association Silicon Industry Subcommittee, this week silicon wafer prices have begun to rise. The average transaction price for N-type G10L Monocrystalline Silicon wafers (182*183.75mm/130μm/256mm) increased to 1.1 yuan/piece, an increase of 4.76%; the average transaction price for N-type G12R Monocrystalline Silicon wafers (182*210mm/130μm) rose to 1.2 yuan/piece, an increase of 3.45%; the average transaction price for N-type G12 Monocrystalline Silicon wafers (210*210mm/150μm) increased to 1.42 yuan/piece, an increase of 1.42%. The prices for large-sized silicon wafers are accepted by some downstream industries. The fundamental reason for this round of price increases is the supply-demand imbalance, with G10L series small-sized silicon wafers being relatively more scarce.
