Price Snapshot (Unit: USD/ton | Basis: FOB Tianjin Port)
- Ferrosilicon 72%
- Quotation range: $1,020–$1,040/ton
- Price change: No change (--)
- Ferrosilicon 75%
- Quotation range: $1,090–$1,120/ton
- Price change: No change (--)
Ferrosilicon 75% continues to trade at a premium over 72% due to higher silicon content and tighter quality requirements. Buyers report that tradable levels are generally within the quoted ranges for both grades.
Market Overview
The overall ferrosilicon export market is currently described as stable and range-bound:
- Supply: Output from major producers remains relatively steady, with no significant disruptions reported.
- Demand: Export demand from steel mills and alloy plants is stable but cautious, with most buyers focusing on regular replenishment rather than aggressive stock-building.
- Costs: Production cost factors such as ore, coke, and electricity are providing a cost floor, which helps to support current FOB price levels and limits room for deep discounts.
With both FeSi 72% and 75% remaining unchanged in this assessment, the market tone is balanced, and participants do not expect sharp short-term moves unless there are clear changes in raw material costs or downstream demand.
Price Relationship Between FeSi 72% and 75%
- Price Premium: FeSi 75% currently holds a consistent premium of roughly $70–$80/ton over FeSi 72%, reflecting its higher silicon content and performance in certain steel grades.
- Grade Selection:
FeSi 72% is often chosen where cost efficiency is a priority and metallurgical requirements allow a slightly lower Si content.
FeSi 75% is preferred for higher-grade steels and special applications, where stricter specifications justify the higher price.
This spread between the two grades is within a normal range and provides buyers with flexibility to balance technical requirements and cost control.
FAQ – Ferrosilicon 72% & 75% Export Prices
Q1: Why are ferrosilicon prices stable at the moment?
A: Prices are stable because current offers reflect a balance between production costs and export demand. Producers are not under strong pressure to cut prices, and buyers are still placing routine orders, leading to a relatively calm market without sharp up or down moves.
Q2: Which grade should I choose, 72% or 75%?
A:
- Choose FeSi 72% if you are mainly focused on cost control and your steel grade allows a slightly lower silicon content.
- Choose FeSi 75% if your production requires higher silicon content and more stringent quality, especially for higher-grade steels or special alloys.
Q3: Are the quoted prices negotiable?
A: There is usually some negotiation room depending on order volume, payment terms, and shipment period. Larger or long-term orders may receive more competitive offers within or near the quoted ranges.
Q4: What packing options are available for export shipments?
A: Standard packing is 1MT jumbo bags, and bulk loading can also be arranged if port conditions and buyer requirements allow. Other packing options can be discussed upon request.
Q5: What information do I need to provide to get a firm offer?
A: Please provide product grade (72% or 75%), required size range, quantity, packing preference, destination port, and trade term (FOB or CIF). This allows us to calculate a precise and workable export price.
