1 Market Highlights

Black silicon carbide
Most producers firmed their prices of 88%min in Jan based on the high costs and high demand, while they cut their prices of 98%min to boost sales in Jan due to the sluggish market demand.

Despite the firm domestic prices, most exporters cut their prices of 88%min in late Jan due to the weak overseas market demand, while they cut their prices of 98%min in Jan due to the sluggish overseas market demand and reduced domestic prices.

Despite the decreased export prices, given the increased sea freights, most European sellers increased their prices in the past month.

Green silicon carbide
Given the dropped petroleum coke prices and the sluggish market demand, most producers cut their prices to maintain sales.

Most exporters insisted on their prices this month given the soft overseas buyers demand but firm domestic prices.

2 Economy and Policy

2.1 China to adjust import and export tariffs in 2024
