Research and Markets: China's Polysilicon Market in Solar Photovoltaic Industry - CAGR Output Growing 144% between 2007 - 2009

DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/99ad97/chinas_polysilico) has
announced the addition of the "China's Polysilicon Market in Solar Photovoltaic
Industry" report to their offering. 

Global hiking of oil prices, as well as alarming energy crisis, push rapid
development of renewable energies around the world, with solar energy an
outstanding one. Driven by global booming solar energy, China's solar cell
production has developed rapidly in past three years, with output CAGR of 144%
from 2007 to 2009. However, domestic supply of polysilicon, key raw material of
solar cell, has heavily depended on import (78.46% in 2008), due to high cost
and small output caused by immature technology. 

Strong demand for solar cell and high profit rate attract increasing enterprises
to engage in polysilicon production in China after 2007. Polysilicon output for
2009 is estimated to reach 12,500 tonnes and the supply in 2010 is expected to
meet the demand with new capacity release. What's the influence of this change
will be exerted on China's status in global solar PV industry? Will China's
soaring polysilicon output influence price or profit of international
polysilicon manufacturers, such as MEMC Electronic Materials Inc. and Huku
Material Inc. What change will arise for China's main polysilicon suppliers? 

As overseas experiences demonstrate, sustainable development of polysilicon
relies on solar PV advance, and the latter's growth is greatly driven by
governmental policy on feed-in tariff, thus a fresh focus comes to following
outlook: what is China's attitude towards feed-in tariff? Will China's PV market
still depend on overseas' and how is the growing momentum in the following
years? 

Moreover, owing to lack of national long-term plan for polysilicon development,
China's polysilicon industry is facing many problems, such as overcapacity, lack
of core production technology and ineffective technology in tail gas treatment,
all of which have severely dragged sustainable development of polysilicon. With
great technology breakthroughs in recent two years, what's the potential change
in the future? 

This report will unveil penetration of above focuses, and to further explore
these intelligences, key aspects will be presented as follows:

* What are reasons for rapid development of polysilicon industry? 
* What are main problems in polysilicon industry? 
* What is influence of latest policies on future polysilicon development? 
* How does competitive landscape of different solar cells present? 
* How does interaction between polysilicon and solar PV industry function? 
* What are opportunities from future polysilicon industry? 
* What are profiles of major polysilicon producers and end users together with
discussion on their key business strategies?

Companies Mentioned:

* Jiangsu Zhongneng Polysilicon Technology Development Co. Ltd., 
* Sichuan Xinguang Silicon Science and Technology Co., Ltd., 
* Luoyang Zhonggui High-tech Co., Ltd., 
* Wuxi Suntech Power Co., Ltd., 
* Zhejiang Yuhui Solar Energy Source Co. Ltd.
