Imarike yamazwe ngamazwe yesinyithi sesilicon iyaqhubeka nokuhla. I-China, evelisa malunga ne-70% yemveliso yehlabathi, yenze umgaqo-nkqubo wesizwe ukwandisa imveliso yeephaneli zelanga, kwaye imfuno ye-polysilicon kunye ne-organic silicon yeephaneli iyanda, kodwa imveliso idlula imfuno, ngoko ke ukuhla kwamaxabiso akunakunqandwa kwaye akukho mfuno intsha. Abathathi-nxaxheba kwimarike bakholelwa ukuba imveliso egqithisileyo iya kuqhubeka okwethutyana kwaye amaxabiso anokuhlala ethe tyaba okanye asenokuhla kancinci kancinci.
Ixabiso lokuthumela ngaphandle isinyithi se-silicon saseTshayina, esiyindlela yokulinganisa yamazwe ngamazwe, okwangoku limalunga ne-$1,640 ngetoni nganye kwi-grade 553, esetyenziswa njengesongezelelo kwi-alloys ze-aluminium yesibini kunye ne-polysilicon, njl. Ihlile malunga ne-10% kwiinyanga ezintathu ukusuka kwi-$1,825 ngoJuni. I-Grade 441, esetyenziswa ngobuninzi kwi-polysilicon kunye ne-organic silicon, okwangoku imalunga ne-$1,685, ihle malunga ne-11% ukusuka ngoJuni. Ngokutsho kwenkampani yokuthengisa isinyithi esingena-ferrous iTac Trading (Hachioji, Tokyo, Japan), imveliso yaseTshayina ye- isinyithi se-siliconNgoJanuwari-Agasti 2024 malunga neetoni ezizizigidi ezi-3.22, ezimalunga neetoni ezizizigidi ezi-4.8 ngonyaka. Usihlalo wenkampani, uTakashi Ueshima, uthe, “Njengoko imveliso ngo-2023 yayimalunga neetoni ezizizigidi ezi-3.91, oku kusenokwenzeka ukuba kukwanda okukhulu kwemveliso yokwandisa imveliso yeephaneli zelanga, nto leyo ethathwa njengomgaqo-nkqubo wesizwe.” Imfuno ka-2024 kulindeleke ukuba ibe ziitoni ezizizigidi ezi-1.8 ngonyaka ze-polysilicon yeephaneli zelanga kunye neetoni ezizizigidi ezi-1.25 ze-silicon yendalo. Ukongeza, ukuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe kulindeleke ukuba kube ziitoni ezingama-720,000, kwaye imfuno yasekhaya yezongezo kwi-alloys ze-aluminium yesibini kulindeleke ukuba ibe malunga neetoni ezingama-660,000, nto leyo ethetha malunga neetoni ezizizigidi ezi-4.43. Ngenxa yoko, kusenokwenzeka ukuba kubekho imveliso engaphezulu kwe-400,000 yeetoni. Ukususela ngoJuni, impahla yayiziitoni ezingama-600,000-700,000, kodwa “mhlawumbi inyukile yaya kwiitoni ezingama-700,000-800,000 ngoku. Ukwanda kwempahla yeyona nto iphambili kwimarike ecothayo, kwaye akukho zinto ziya kubangela ukuba imarike inyuke kungekudala.” “Ukuze bafumane ithuba kwihlabathi ngeephaneli zelanga, ezingumgaqo-nkqubo welizwe, baya kufuna ukuphepha ukunqongophala kwezinto eziluhlaza. Baza kuqhubeka bevelisa i-polysilicon kunye ne-silicon yesinyithi eyimpahla yayo eluhlaza,” (uSihlalo u-Uejima). Enye into ebangela ukwehla kwamaxabiso kukwanda kweenkampani eTshayina ezenza amanqanaba “553″ kunye “441,” ezizizinto eziluhlaza ze-polysilicon, ngenxa yokwanda kwemveliso yeephaneli zelanga. Ngokuphathelele iintshukumo zamaxabiso ezizayo, uSihlalo u-Uejima uqikelela, “Phakathi kwemveliso egqithisileyo, akukho zinto ziya kubangela ukwanda, kwaye kuya kuthatha ixesha ukulinganisela ukunikezelwa kunye nemfuno. Imarike inokuhlala imile okanye inciphe kancinci ngoSeptemba nango-Okthobha.”
