As of January 9, 2025 (Beijing Time), the mainstream market price for silicon metal 421 in China remains stable. Current export quotations are as follows:
| Grade | Price (USD/ton, incl. VAT) | Change | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 421 | 1450–1500 | - | FOB Huangpu Port |
The above price applies mainly to natural lump calcium silicon exported from Tianjin Port. Actual transaction levels may vary depending on order volume, packaging requirements, and payment terms.
Market Analysis
Silicon metal 421 is one of the most widely traded grades, especially in aluminum alloy production. From a market perspective, recent pricing stability is largely supported by balanced supply and demand. Downstream aluminum processors continue to purchase based on routine production needs, without aggressive stockpiling.
On the supply side, output levels in major producing regions remain relatively steady. Cost factors such as electricity and raw materials have shown no significant short-term fluctuations, limiting upward or downward pressure on prices. As a result, the market has entered a period of consolidation.
Short-Term Outlook
In the near term, silicon metal 421 prices are expected to remain within a narrow range unless notable changes occur in aluminum demand or production costs. Buyers are advised to monitor downstream consumption trends and plan procurement accordingly.
