US and South Korea zero-price sales polysilicon Chinese companies draw double-reverse investigation

The photovoltaic industry staged a dramatic story. Just as the US government conducted anti-subsidy and anti-dumping investigations on China's PV downstream product components, China's photovoltaic upstream polysilicon enterprises have begun to write to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce to conduct the same double-reverse investigations on polysilicon companies in the United States and South Korea. The reporter was informed that under the organization of the polysilicon industry association, the polysilicon industry has elected the leading enterprises with more than 70% capacity, such as Jiangsu Zhongneng, Jiangxi Saiwei, Luoyang Zhongsi, and Daxin Energy, as representatives to communicate with the Ministry of Commerce. Submit the application report to the relevant person in charge. At present, the Ministry of Commerce has not responded to this. In April, the US and South Korea polysilicon giants started a new price war. Some manufacturers have already reported zero price to sell polysilicon. Chinese buyers can get a certain amount of polysilicon by paying international trade fees of 10 US dollars/kg. Above a company official told reporters that, under the impact of foreign dumping, the polysilicon industry has led to 90% of the company suspended production or closed, "and then let it go, the whole industry will suffer disaster." Dumping "This The application was submitted to the Ministry of Commerce in early March 2012. The main leaders of the four provinces of Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Sichuan and Henan also expressed their support to the Ministry of Commerce and are still communicating with the Ministry of Commerce. Executives told reporters that he said that as early as October 2011, the polysilicon industry has begun to discuss how to deal with low-cost dumping from the United States and South Korea. Statistics from the polysilicon industry association show that companies in the United States and South Korea receive huge financial subsidies from the government on the one hand, and sell products at low prices on the other hand to seize the market at a loss. According to customs data, in 2011, China imported a total of 64,613.86 tons of polysilicon, a year-on-year increase of 36.00%; of which, 21,361 tons were imported from South Korea, up 89.47% year-on-year, and imports from the United States were second only to South Korea, reaching 17,476.32 tons. A Jiangxi Saiwei person told reporters that the major markets of polysilicon giants such as Hemlock and OCI in the United States are all in China. The US uses less than 3% of polysilicon, while 70% of South Korea's products are sold to China. The above-mentioned people analyzed to reporters that at present, the prices of US and Korean companies in the Chinese market are generally 20~25 US dollars/kg, and the ex-factory price is only about 15 US dollars/kg after deducting freight and customs duties. "This is simply not possible." According to my estimation, their cost should be 25 US dollars / kg, which is obviously a dumping at a loss." "What is even more worrying is that in recent days, foreign polysilicon companies have already offered zero quotations, and importers only need to pay about 10 dollars. The trade costs can buy one kilogram of polysilicon, although the number is limited, but the intention is definitely to squeeze the Chinese enterprises." A domestic polysilicon company official told reporters. Before 2009, China's polysilicon production was only over a thousand tons, more than 90% of which need to be imported from abroad. At this time, foreign giants controlled production technology and formed a unified price alliance. In 2008, the price of polysilicon was as high as 400 US dollars/ Kilograms, and since 2009, with the rise of Jiangsu Zhongneng, Jiangxi Saiwei and other companies, prices have plunged all the way, and today the market price is only over 20 US dollars per kilogram. "On the one hand, because of technological innovation, the cost has dropped. On the other hand, because the rise of China's polysilicon enterprises has broken the monopoly of international giants, they have to end the era of profiteering." A person from Wuxi Suntech told reporters. Suntech believes that the reason why US and Korean companies have the ability to dump the Chinese market is because of the support of the consortium behind them. The strength is stronger. The more important reason is that the government has received huge subsidies to fill the losses caused by low prices. On January 8, 2010, the United States announced a list of companies that benefited and tax-free amounts. Four of the six largest polysilicon manufacturing companies in the United States were on the list: Hemlock received $140 million, Wacker received $128 million, and REC received 1.5. For $100 million, AE Polysilicon received $44 million. In addition, the US states have provided substantial subsidies to polysilicon manufacturers in order to attract investment and expand employment. For example, Michigan State provided Hemlock with a $260 million tax credit in 2009, while Tennessee encouraged Hemlock to invest in the plant, invested $100 million to provide infrastructure for Hemlock, and provided 1100 for Hemlock employee training. Ten thousand dollars in funding. In recent years, South Korea has also launched the “Green New Deal”, which will invest US$46 billion to directly support clean energy, and will provide R&D funds, tax incentives, financing incentives and export credit support for enterprises. According to the South Korean government, the investment in clean energy during the period from 2009 to 2013 was nearly 100 billion US dollars, equivalent to 2% of GDP. The potential hazard has caused the domestic polysilicon industry to be at the edge of life and death due to the price war of foreign giants. According to the statistics of the Polysilicon Industry Association, only 8 of the 43 polysilicon enterprises that have been put into production are still in production, and the remaining 90% have stopped production, and most of the enterprises still in operation are gradually reducing production and running at a loss. In December 2011, Zhejiang Xiecheng Silicon Co., Ltd., which invested over 1 billion yuan, has entered bankruptcy liquidation procedures, and more companies will be bankrupt in 2012. A person from the sales department of Jiangxi Saiwei believes that the strategy of overseas giants headed by Hemlock and OCI in the United States is to use government subsidies to dump the Chinese market for three to five years at a low price, after the Chinese polysilicon enterprises are squeezed. increase price. However, a large PV module manufacturer in Jiangsu told reporters that he believes that the polysilicon market is now fully competitive and difficult to be monopolized by giants. "For us downstream manufacturers, the price war of upstream companies can make us cheaper. Raw materials, and the current cost has dropped to this stage, even if the Chinese companies are squeezed, foreign capital is difficult to raise prices as they please." "Although it is difficult to increase to the original 400 US dollars / kg, but doubled to 40 ~50 US dollars / kg, it is still easy." A polysilicon executive told reporters. The above-mentioned executives said that as early as the 1990s, European and American countries had launched a wave of low-priced dumping of polysilicon for China, and the price was much lower than its production cost. China's polysilicon enterprises were unbearable and the whole army was defeated. In the end, only the Sichuan Emei 739 factory maintained a trial production of several tens of tons per year. The factory finally survived in the form of the Emei Semiconductor Research Institute, which is supported by the national finance. After the collapse of China's polysilicon enterprises, 98% of China's semiconductor industry's raw materials rely on imports. At the beginning of this century, when the photovoltaic industry developed rapidly, China's photovoltaic industry raw materials were subject to people, and the price soared to more than 400 US dollars / kg, which has made many domestic enterprises miserable. A Jingao solar energy person believes that although downstream companies want to obtain low-cost raw materials, they do not want foreign-owned ones to be big. He said that before domestic companies have yet to rise, importing raw materials from overseas is not only high in price but also in poor service. Enterprises can only find their own bad products, but now, the attitude of foreign investment has come a 180-degree big change. The source said that after the plunge in polysilicon prices in 2009, Jiangsu Zhongneng and other companies negotiated with customers to lift the previous high-priced contracts, and did not have to pay compensation. The deposits were directly converted into payment, while many foreign companies refused to negotiate and raised huge amounts. Compensation, such as Wuxi Suntech, paid a $212 million liquidated damages to MEMC, which burdened many domestic companies.
