In October, the factory prices including tax of silicon carbide deoxidizer (SiC: 75%; Particle size: 0 -10 mm) were around 2600-3000 Yuan/ton in Ningxia and Gansu. At present, half of enterprises offer stable quotes, and some silicon carbide manufacturers have increased the deoxidizer prices by 100-200 Yuan/ton because of rising raw material of anthracite.

According to national statistics, from January to August, 2016, the national industrial output of raw coal was 2.18 billion tons, decreasing by 250 million tons on year-on-year basis, dropping 10.2%. The output of raw coal has dropped more than 10% for five months. In the main producing areas of silicon carbide, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai had dropped 4.0%, 8.9% and 5.2% on raw coal output respectively from January to August.

The reduced raw coal supply is bound to affect the output of anthracite, so anthracite prices have soared. However, the coal mining amount is mainly affected by national policy. If anthracite prices continue to rise later, silicon carbide deoxidizer may not be able to afford the cost pressure, and continue to increase.

Moreover, the task of de-capacity in 2017 will still continue, which will reduce the demand for silicon carbide as the upstream products of refractory materials. At the same time, in order to reduce the cost, the dosage of ferrosilicon as deoxidizer is increasing, which will further reduce the dosage of silicon carbide deoxidizer. The cost pressure is increasing, and the market share is gradually narrowing, so the production sales of silicon carbide deoxidizer are in a dilemma. Most companies choose to delist, wait and see.
