    This report is the twelfth edition of the study of the technical silicon market in the world, Russia and the EAEU countries.

    Market monitoring has been conducted since 2000.

    The purpose of the study is to analyze the technical silicon market in the world, Russia and the EAEU countries.

    The object of the study is technical silicon.

    A feature of this study is that the review provides a fairly detailed description of the world silicon market.

     

    This work is a desk study. The sources of information used were data from statistical committees of the EAEU countries (including Rosstat, the National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus, the Bureau of National Statistics of the Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms of the Republic of Kazakhstan); international UN databases (UNdata), World Bank, Eurostat; international and European trade data (UN Comtrade, Trade Map); the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation (until 2022); Unified Information System in the Sphere of Procurement; railway transportation statistics; SBIS database; foreign specialized companies; annual and quarterly reports of issuers of securities; industry and regional press, conference materials, websites of manufacturing companies and consumers of the products under study; scientific and technical literature (elibrary, etc.), the FIPS patent database; the InfoMine database, etc.

    Chronological framework of the study: 1991-2024, forecast - 2025-2035.

    Geography of the study: Russian Federation - comprehensive detailed market analysis; EAEU countries - general retrospective market analysis; the rest of the world - general information on the dynamics and characteristics of the market.

    The report consists of 7 parts, contains 148 pages, including 59 tables, 28 figures and 1 appendix.

     

    The first chapter of the report provides a brief description of the world market for technical silicon.

    The second chapter provides data on reserves and deposits of the main types of raw materials for the production of technical silicon in the EAEU, and also describes the silicon production technology and the equipment used.

    The third chapter of the report is devoted to the analysis of technical silicon production in the EAEU. The chapter describes the requirements for the quality of technical silicon. The chapter provides data on the volumes of technical silicon production in the EAEU and individual countries, information on the status of the main manufacturing enterprises.

    The fourth chapter analyzes the foreign trade of technical silicon in Russia and the EAEU countries. The dynamics of exports and imports are presented, trends in export-import deliveries are described, and information on the volumes and directions of deliveries of the largest exporters and importers of silicon is provided.

    The fifth chapter of the report provides data on the dynamics of export-import prices for technical silicon in Russia in 1996-2024, as well as prices on the domestic market of the Russian Federation.

    The sixth chapter provides an assessment of the consumption of technical silicon in Russia. This section provides the balance of production and consumption of silicon, and also assesses the industry structure of consumption. Data on the volumes of silicon supplies to the main consumers are also provided.

    The seventh chapter provides a forecast for the production and consumption of technical silicon in Russia for the period up to 2035.

    The appendix provides contact information for the main manufacturers of technical silicon in the EAEU.

     

    The target audience of the study:

    - participants in the technical silicon market – manufacturers, consumers, traders;

    - potential investors.

    The proposed study claims to be a reference guide for marketing departments and specialists making management decisions working in the silicon and silicon-containing products market.
