Polycrystalline Price Declines After Rising Period

According to Germany polycrystalline market research institute--Bernreuter Research, in view of China increasing demand and capacity extension plan delay, in the 3rd quarter of 2014, polycrystalline price will further rise. It is predicted that ready stock will rise to 23 dollars per kilo. Bernreuter Research points out that this year global newly added photovoltaic capacity is expected to reach 47 gigawatts, an increase of 22% compared to that of last year. In the first half of 2014, China inland capacity is not more than 3 gigawatts.

In aspects of supply, polycrystalline project whose total capacity is 66,000 was originally scheduled to go into operation this year, but at present most projects are delayed. Bernreuter Research estimate that at the end of the year there will be about 10,000 to 15,000 metric tons new capacity. However, large amount of new capacity will be released next year, as a result, it is predicted that since the end of this year, polycrystalline price will face a decline again, ready stock price will return to 18 to 20 dollars.
