Driven by downstream market demand, the size of my country’s trichlorosilane market is gradually growing

Trichlorosilane, also known as trichlorosilane, is mainly produced by using hydrogen chloride gas and silicon powder in a fluidized bed reactor. It appears as a fluid, flammable, and flammable substance with a pungent odor under normal temperatures and pressures. Volatile colorless transparent liquid. As a very versatile organic silicon monomer, trichlorosilane is mostly used to produce alkyl, monocrystalline silicon, silane coupling agents, organosilane, semiconductor silicon wafers, polycrystalline silicon and other products.

At present, polysilicon has become the main application field of trichlorosilane, accounting for 37.81% of the overall market; followed by silane coupling agents, accounting for 32.16% of the market. From the perspective of downstream terminals, polycrystalline silicon and silane coupling agents are widely used in fields. Polycrystalline silicon is mainly used in cermets, semiconductors, photovoltaic power generation and other fields. Silane coupling agents are mostly used in sealants, special rubber adhesion accelerators, and tackifiers. Agents, surface treatment agents, inorganic filled plastics and other fields.

According to the “China Trichlorosilane Industry Application Market Demand and Development Opportunities Research Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center , In recent years, my country’s energy structure has gradually transformed, and photovoltaic power generation, as a renewable and clean energy, has gradually become one of the alternatives to traditional energy. Coupled with the gradual advancement of my country’s production technology, the cost of photovoltaic power generation is gradually declining, the market penetration rate is growing, and the installed capacity is gradually increasing. According to data released by the China Electricity Council, my country’s cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity will reach 392.61GW in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 28.07%. As the photovoltaic power generation market continues to develop, the market demand for polysilicon, as the basic material for photovoltaic power generation, has gradually increased. As the main raw material for the production of polysilicon, the market demand for trichlorosilane has gradually increased. Against this background, the size of my country’s trichlorosilane market has gradually grown. In 2022, my country’s trichlorosilane market size will be 7.72 billion yuan, and it is expected to reach 8.13 billion yuan by 2029.

From the perspective of production capacity distribution regions, my country’s trichlorosilane production regions can be roughly divided into East China, North China, Central and South China, and Northwest China. Among them, East China accounts for the largest production capacity, accounting for 43.21%; followed by North China, accounting for 27.24%; ranking third is Central and South China, accounting for 22.83%.

Industry analysts said that at this stage, there are a large number of trichlorosilane companies in my country and the market structure is relatively fragmented. The major large-scale enterprises in my country include Xin’an Co., Ltd., Chenguang New Materials, Sanfu Co., Ltd., Hongbai New Materials, Golden Oriental Group, Xintai Silicon Industry, Shangyu Co., Ltd., Futai Silicon Industry, etc. Among them, Xin’an Co., Ltd. has the largest market share, accounting for 11.62%; followed by Sanfu Co., Ltd., accounting for 11.34%. As my country’s trichlorosilane market continues to develop, large enterprises have gradually optimized production technology, improved product quality, and gradually enhanced market competitiveness. However, small and medium-sized trichlorosilane companies may be eliminated by the market due to their small industrial scale, relatively backward production technology, and gradually weakening market competitiveness. The trichlorosilane market concentration is expected to increase.
