Current Ferrosilicon Export Prices (China)
As of January 9, 2026 (Beijing Time), ferrosilicon prices in the Chinese export market remain generally stable. Mainstream quotations are summarized below:
| Product | Grade | Price (USD/ton) | Change | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ferrosilicon | 72 | 1050–1070 | - | FOB Tianjin Port |
| Ferrosilicon | 75 | 1100–1130 | - | FOB Tianjin Port |
The price difference between grades mainly reflects silicon content requirements and application standards in downstream steelmaking.
Market Overview
Ferrosilicon is a key alloy used in steelmaking as both a deoxidizer and an alloying additive. Entering early January 2026, overall market activity for ferrosilicon remains relatively calm.
From the demand side, steel mills continue to purchase ferrosilicon based on actual production needs rather than speculative inventory building. This cautious and demand-driven purchasing behavior has contributed to stable pricing across mainstream grades.
On the supply side, production conditions in major ferrosilicon-producing regions remain stable, with no significant disruptions reported. Electricity and raw material costs, which play an important role in ferrosilicon production, have not shown sharp short-term fluctuations. As a result, cost pressure on prices remains limited.
Ferrosilicon 75 continues to trade at a premium compared with ferrosilicon 72 due to its higher silicon content and stronger deoxidation performance, while ferrosilicon 72 remains the most widely used grade in standard steel production.
Short-Term Outlook
In the short term, ferrosilicon prices are expected to fluctuate within a narrow range, unless notable changes occur in steel production levels, energy costs, or export demand. Market participants are advised to monitor downstream steel market trends and adjust procurement plans accordingly.
