On October 11, a number of prominent silicon material companies convened a private meeting in Hangzhou, reaching a consensus that the average cost (inclusive of taxes) and corresponding sales price for silicon materials (encompassing both Siemens process and granular silicon) should not fall below RMB 43,000 per ton. Industry experts noted that this price level accurately reflects the true cost threshold, taking into account comprehensive expenses such as industrial silicon, electricity charges, depreciation, and labor costs.
