• Executive Summary
• Polycrystallion silicon, also known as
  polysilicon or poly-Si, polysilicon is the purest
  form of silicon and the second most abundant
  element available in nature. It is a material
  consisting of small silicon crystals which
  differs from single-crystal silicon, used for
  electronics and solar cells, and from amorphous
  silicon, used for thin film devices and solar
  cells. It is used as a feedstock material in
  most solar energy applications. Polysilicon can
  be segmented into three divisions by purity
  grade Electronic Grade, Medium Grade, and
  Upgraded Metallurgical Grade. The market is
  divided into two segments by end user types PV
  Industry and Semiconductor Industry.
• Since the earliest iterations, the design of
  photovoltaic cells has evolved to a great extent.
  Silicon, which is also used in the
  microelectronics industry, is the key raw
  material used in the manufacturing of PVs. The
  report covers the concerns over base and end
  market of polysilicon industry on a global level
  along with analysis of Chinese polysilicon
  imports.
• The key factors driving the growth of the
  polysilicon industry are solar cell market,
  semiconductor market and economic condition. Some
  of the noteworthy trends of this industry are
  decreasing production cost, decreasing
  polysilicon prices and strong growth of the solar
  PV market. However, the expansion of global
  polysilicon industry is hindered by rising
  industrial overcapacity, heavy capital
  requirement, Chinas anti-dumping policy and
  competition from substitutes.
• The report Global Polysilicon Market provides
  an in-depth analysis of the production, demand
  and spot prices of the global polysilicon market
  with focus on its end markets. The major trends,
  growth drivers as well as issues being faced by
  the industry are being presented in this report.
  The major players in the industry, Wacker Chemie,
  GCL Poly Energy and REC Silicon ASA are being
  profiled.
