In Ningxia, the factory price including tax of 98 black silicon carbide material is around 4900-5100 yuan/ton, 97 black silicon carbide material around 4800-5000 yuan/ton, 88-90 black silicon carbide material around 3600-4000 yuan/ton. The overall market temporarily keeps stable, and the downstream market demand is still weak.

The operating rate and inventory: Through the survey, it shows that many enterprises’ operating rate is insufficient in Gansu, and individual manufacturers have stopped the production and given priority to inventory consumption. In fifteen enterprises, there are only four enterprises with full production, one in a state of production halts, and ten enterprises whose operating rate is between 40-50%.

Factory inventories are mostly secondary products, around 200-500 tons, and there are not large quantities of inventories. At present, the most important matters that manufacturers pay more attention to are the following two problems: credit and debt collection. Therefore, they are more cautious about the development of new customers, and give priority to maintaining old customers. 

Through the analysis, from the point of the operating rate in Gansu, silicon carbide prices may still remain weak, and secondary products may go down.
