This week, the four leading companies in the silicon wafer industry have announced price increases, and other companies are following suit one after another.

The price of N-type 18X silicon wafers in the market is 1.2-1.25 yuan/piece, and the price of N-type 210RN silicon wafers is 1.35-1.4 yuan/piece. Leading companies led the price increase this Thursday, with other companies following suit. Further observation is needed to see the acceptance of downstream battery manufacturers. The recent reduction in silicon wafer inventory has kept overall stock levels at a reasonable level. Supported by the increase in silicon wafer prices, the highest quoted prices for batteries this week have increased by 5 cents for all sizes, with price increases in the 210 series already being implemented.
