A half-yearly comparison of the growth projections for the market of polysilicon along with the dynamics and key developments impacting the market trends has been presented by Future Market Insights.
The market of polysilicon has been predominantly influenced by several macro-economic, industrial and innovations factors, these factors are positively impacting the growth of the market. Currently the market is witnessing a trend of increase in the production capacities by the key manufacturers.
Polysilicon sales is expected to witness a growth rate of magnitude 4.8% over the first half of 2022 as compare to the growth rate of 4.6% in the first half of 2021, an increase of 20 bps.
This increase in the growth rate is owing to significant demand from certain end use sectors including growth in the solar cells installations and growing investment and incentives in solar PV installations along with growth in the semiconductor sales. However, the market is expected to witness a decline in the growth rate of 10 basis point shares as compare to the projected value.
This certain decline in the growth outlook is owing to a certain decrease in the installation of photovoltaic cells and supply constraints faced by the industry of semiconductors all over the globe. However, the market is anticipated to maintain its year over year growth during the forecast period owing to significant development in the end use industries.
Demand Analysis of Polysilicon (2013 to 2021) Vs Market Outlook (2022 to 2028)
Sustainability has been a prominent trend over the past few years, and it has picked up quite the pace in recent times and completely changed the course of many industry verticals. Polysilicon has gained impetus as its scope of application in solar panels and semiconductors and electronics has increased substantially.
The market for polycrystalline silicon experienced growth at a CAGR of 5.4% from 2013 to 2021.
Solar installations across the world are rising rapidly and are expected to surge over the coming years due to rapid urbanization and increasing adoption of renewable energy sources across multiple geographies.
Top polysilicon manufacturers in India are expected to see a significant rise in business potential as the production of polycrystalline silicon increases. Polysilicon production through the Siemens process is one of the most common methods used at production facilities globally.
Increasing use of consumer electronics and other electronic devices is propelling demand for electronics grade polysilicon materials from the semiconductor and electronics industry. This polysilicon research analysis studies polysilicon production by country, and finds that China leads production by a huge margin relative to other countries.

How are Polysilicon Sales Expected to Fare across Various Regional Markets?
This polysilicon industry analysis studies regional market such as North America, Latin America, Europe, East Asia, South Asia & Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and gives detailed assessment specific to each region.
Collectively, East Asia, South Asia, and the Pacific regions are expected to account for more than 90% of the global polysilicon market share in 2022. Demand is expected to be extremely high from nations such as China and India. This can be attributed to rapid development of the Chinese solar industry and government backing for the industry.
In comparison, polysilicon consumption in North America is anticipated to only account for a mere share of 2.8% of the global market. The regional market is expected to show steady growth over the forecast period as solar installations increase and drive demand for polysilicon materials.
The European polysilicon market is also expected to rise on similar lines and have a very small market share of 2.1% in the year 2022.
The polysilicon industry in the MEA region is expected to hold a very small market share and is expected to see sluggish growth over the coming years. Demand for polysilicon is expected to pick up moderately as industrialization and urbanization in the region paces over the coming years.
Demand for polysilicon materials in Latin America is also expected to follow the same trends as the MEA region.

Category-wise Analysis
Which Polysilicon Grade Dominates the Marketplace?
Demand for solar polysilicon materials is dominating the global market and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period as well. This can be attributed to rising installation of solar energy generation units across the world citing global warming and climate change concerns.
As consumers grow more environment-conscious, demand for renewable and sustainable energy is growing globally.
Technological advancements and rise in the production of mono-silicon materials are majorly driving the revenue potential of polycrystalline silicon suppliers. Demand for electronics grade polysilicon materials is also expected to see a steady rise as technological proliferation increases across the world and digitization picks up pace.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The manufacturing sector for all industry verticals took a serious hit in 2020 as the world was faced with the COVID-19 pandemic. Coronavirus spread across the world and bought it to a standstill as lockdowns were imposed to contain the spread of the virus.
These restrictions made it impossible for manufacturing activities to be carried out since actual human presence was required for effective manufacturing.
Apart from this, the supply and demand chain also was disrupted to a major extent and made it hard for manufacturing activity to be carried out. All of these factors caused a negative impact on demand for polysilicon materials across the world.
This lowered the market share for polysilicon on a global level as demand for semiconductor electronic devices dropped during the pandemic. This trend is expected to change soon as the world returns to normalcy in the post-pandemic era and manufacturing activity returns to its full capacity.
Demand for semiconductors is expected to increase from the automotive sector substantially, and this is expected to propel the sales of polysilicon products across the globe.
Competitive Landscape
The polysilicon market is partially fragmented and offers fair opportunities to major players as well as new entrants in the industry, but high capital investment restrains new entrants in the market.
Polysilicon manufacturers are majorly focusing on bolstering their production capacity across multiple geographies to meet increasing demand from emerging economies with high manufacturing activity.
- In May 2021, REC Silicon ASA, Norway-based polysilicon and silicon gas supplier stated that it would be restarting its Lake Moses Plant in Washington in the year 2023. The comment came after the company reported its first-quarter (Q1) results. The plant was shut down in May 2019 over the imposition of Chinese tariffs on US-produced polysilicon.
In December 2021, Daqo New Energy Corp., a Chinese polysilicon manufacturer, started its pilot production at a new plant. The plant is expected to produce 35,000 tonnes of polysilicon per year initially and then gradually would ramp to 105,000 tonnes per year.
