Overview
Asian Metal will hold the 4th World Silicon Forum on 21-22 April, 2016 in Beijing, China, when producers, traders and consumers of silicon metal across the world will congregate to discuss the development and outlook of the global silicon industry. The first three forums held by Asian Metal have obtained widely supports from relevant participants in silicon industry across the world. As a leading international metal information provider, Asian Metal, together with insiders will establish a communication platform for market participants within or related to silicon industry from all over the world. We sincerely invite you to attend the forum to discuss the development and outlook of the global silicon industry.
The global silicon metal market ran well in 2014, when the demand from downstream aluminum alloy, polysilicon and organosilicon industries was strong and China increased its capacity for silicon metal sharply. And some Chinese producers from ferrochrome, calcium carbide and other industries switched to produce silicon metal. However, Chinese silicon metal market was generally weak in 2015 with the demand from downstream industries at home and abroad and the declining price for the material. Benefiting from the implementation of “the 58th Document” on suspending importing solar grade polysilicon by the way of processing trades, China has partly controlled its imports for polysilicon based on since August 2015, but the import volume continued to be higher as a whole. What's more, the domestic polysilicon enterprises still maintained the higher operating rate. The polysilicon price has decreased sharply in 2015 in the domestic market and created a new low.
How to balance the output and demand of Chinese silicon metal industry? What about the demand for silicon metal from aluminum alloy industry in 2016? How will Chinese polysilicon enterprises save energy and reduce production cost to deal with the opportunities and challenges under the international competition? Will the silicon metal consumption ratio of Chinese organosilicon industry improve in 2016?
Asian Metal will hold the 4th World Silicon Forum on 21-22 April, 2016 in Beijing, China, and sincerely hope to meet you in Beijing to discuss the development and outlook of the globe silicon industry.
