Metal silicon is a key material for organic silicon, aluminum alloys, semi-conductors and polysilicon.  The report provides analysis of metal silicon technologies by application, markets, value chains, and cost information. 

High purity metal silicon is mostly used as a raw material of semi-conductors and polysilicon, and in the upper rank among solar cell components/materials in terms of business profit.  It is a key point of the metal silicon business to secure quality quartz mines and operate production lines in places where electricity that account for 50% of production costs is available at low prices.

In addition, it can be applied to various fields, which allows flexible business operations compared to other components/materials, even the PV market is sluggish.  In that this report provides in-depth analysis such as feasibility studies for investment as well as analysis of markets, costs, and major manufacturers, it is expected to be a good reference for the metal silicon business.
