[Silicon Industry Branch: wafer prices dropped sharply this week M10 monocrystalline silicon wafers dropped 16.4% month-on-week] the latest article issued by the Silicon Branch of China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association says that wafer prices have fallen sharply this week. The price of M10 single crystal silicon wafer (182 mm/ 150 μ m) is in the price range of 5.05.4yuan / wafer, and the average transaction price is reduced to 5.25yuan / wafer. The weekly price drop is 16.4%. The price of G12 single crystal silicon wafer (210 mm/ 150 μ m) is in the price range of 7.07.6yuan / wafer, and the average transaction price is reduced to 7.28yuan / wafer. The market transaction price is chaotic this week, and the transaction volume is generally on the small side. The sharp drop in prices is mainly due to two reasons: one is that the price drop this week spanned two weeks, so the decline is slightly exaggerated, but in fact it has experienced two rounds of phased price adjustments; the other is to transmit room for price cuts in raw materials and continue to release profits downstream.
