The market remains dominated by the established poly-silicon producers Hemlock, Wacker, REC, MEMC, Tokyama and LDK Solar that produce top-quality silicon.

Solar Value Chain

They are now increasingly challenged by GCL Solar and OCI, though questions about quality of the production remain. All top-7suppliers are large cap companies (market cap between €1bn -€4bn) with strong balance sheets (high interest cover up to 30 and low leverage). Apart from MEMC and REC, none of the top-7 is forward-integrated, and even they are only integrated into wafers. Due to significant costs of establishing a new production facility, there is no imminent risk of newcomers to the market.

The smaller suppliers are much more diverse: There are conglomerates (JFE Steel) as well as highly specialised companies like Arise Technologies or Timminco.
