Bernreuter Research: Top four manufacturers will all be Chinese in 2022.
The world’s four largest polysilicon manufacturers in 2022 will all be based in China, predicts Bernreuter Research. The polysilicon industry expert has published its latest ranking of the top ten producers on its website today.
Germany-based Wacker Chemie, which became the global number one after opening its third polysilicon plant in the U.S. state of Tennessee in 2016, lost its top position to Tongwei in 2020. The Chinese high flyer was still number nine in 2016 before it started an ambitious expansion program. With three production locations in Sichuan province, Inner Mongolia and Yunnan province, Tongwei will reach a total capacity of nearly 200,000 metric tons (MT) by the end of this year and likely 300,000 MT in 2023.
