Key Findings of Silicon Metal Market Study
- Photovoltaic Grade polysilicon Meets Sizable Demand for Solar Energy Production: The last decade has made enormous strides in the solar energy. Riding on the trend of penetration of renewable power and low-carbon energy has spurred the production of solar cells. The demand for high-purity polycrystalline silicon has thus grown steadily to meet the needs of solar PV cells. A vast majority of solar cells are made using silicon metals. The abundance of the metal and the high efficiencies of crystalline silicon are key factors propelling its adoption in PV solar cells manufacturing.
- Automotive Sector to See Wide Use of Metallurgical Silicon as Alloy: Automobile manufacturers worldwide are increasingly adopting materials that are lightweight to reduce the fuel consumption. Silicon-based aluminum alloys have been viewed with great optimism, and they are replacing steel and heavy metals in vehicle bodies. Most important, they are able to meet environmental demands of the aerospace and automotive industry. All these are offering incremental opportunities to players in the silicon metal market.
- Manufacturers Strive to Cut Production of Cost to Improve Bottomline: manufacturers are keen on improving the production process, especially with relation to optimizing the cost of raw materials. This is a major concern for them. Hence, they are looking for regions with large deposits of charcoal and quartz, to reduce the impacts of volatility in prices.
