Under the circumstance of the epidemic in 2020, the global economic environment is changing in many ways, bringing new opportunities and challenges to the silicon industry. Affected by the epidemic, changes in downstream consumption brought about a development process in the price of silicon metal. After a significant drop in the first half year, the silicon price increased sharply for months and now it sees decreasing trend again. The factory turned losses into profits in the second half of the year. In 2020, the total output has continued to decrease from the first three quarters of the same period last year and then rapidly rebounded and surpassed that of 2019 in the fourth quarter. The production capacity and output changes of silicon metal are inseparable from national policy planning, international situation and downstream consumption capacity. Since the State Council released "Made in China 2025" and seven strategic emerging industries in December 2019, new materials have been listed as one of the strategic areas for key breakthrough development, and it has been clarified that silicone oil, silicone rubber, silicone resin and other silicone materials have a positive impact on the development of the national economy. Secondly, in April 2020, the "14th Five-Year" photovoltaic plan and the country's complete realization of the localization of semiconductor chips have been put on the agenda, and the momentum of development is unstoppable. In the future, new and expansion projects will continue to increase, and the consumption capacity of silicon metal will be greatly improved. Compared with this, the negative growth in the demand for silicon metal in the development of the domestic aluminum market brought by the aluminum market scrap aluminum recycling, imported aluminum products, and the decline in the dependence of overseas downstream factories on China's silicon metal products has become irrelevant. Looking forward to 2021, global epidemic control, economic recovery, and new changes in industry development are about to begin.

FerroAlloyNet 12th International Silicon Metal Summit will discuss the development plan for the main production area of silicon metal, the increase in production of organic silicon and polysilicon, the impact of the integration of the silicon industry, the living space of traders, the changes in the aluminum market and the export contraction. We sincerely invite you to come!
