On the afternoon of December 25th, market reports surfaced indicating that four prominent silicon wafer producers had jointly and substantially raised their prices. Specifically, the quoted price for 183N silicon wafers soared to 1.4 yuan per piece, 210RN wafers reached 1.5 yuan per piece, and 210N wafers climbed to 1.7 yuan per piece, marking an average price increase of 12%. Personnel from several silicon wafer manufacturers corroborated these reports. The industry consensus is that this price surge is primarily driven by the significant uptick in the costs of upstream silicon materials.
