Abstract
The solar industry is estimated to be consuming more than half of the
worldwide polysilicon production. The huge demand from the solar market has
created a demand-supply gap in the polysilicon market. This has resulted in
spiraling prices of polysilicon and solar cell manufacturers are in a hurry to
enter long-term contracts for polysilicon supply so as to hedge against the
rising polysilicon prices.
The worldwide polysilicon market is dominated by
seven major producers. Most of these major producers have announced massive
expansion plans for the next 3-4 years. The combined capacity of the seven
major producers is expected to double by 2010. Hemlock is the largest
polysilicon producer, followed by Wacker and Renewable Energy Corp.
The
report is aimed at providing a basic understanding of the worldwide
polysilicon market. It analyzes the demand-supply gap, pricing trends and
production value chain. Apart from providing a competitive landscape of the
market, the report also profiles the major polysilicon producers, with a
discussion of their key business strategies and significant developments.
