Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Northeast Asia: In Northeast Asia, metal silicon prices declined moderately as reduced demand from the aluminum alloy and semiconductor industries dampened procurement activity. The metal silicon price index reflected bearish momentum, with sufficient supply availability ensuring no major disruptions. Export competitiveness also weakened due to lower international benchmark prices, while stable raw material sourcing prevented any significant cost push.
Europe: Metal silicon prices in Europe fell sharply, weighed down by weaker industrial consumption in construction-related alloys and the chemicals sector. The metal silicon price index dropped as downstream buyers reduced procurement volumes amid sluggish demand and high inventory levels. Cheaper imports from Asia intensified competition, leaving local producers under margin pressure.
South America: In South America, metal silicon prices recorded one of the steepest declines this quarter. The metal silicon price index reflected weak demand from the aluminum and construction sectors, alongside persistent oversupply conditions. Imports at competitive prices undermined regional pricing, while muted downstream activity limited any recovery potential. The bearish outlook was intensified by distributors’ cautious restocking approach.
Australia: In Australia, metal silicon prices fell slightly, supported by weaker consumption in metallurgical applications. The metal silicon price index trended downward due to muted procurement from domestic aluminum alloy producers, though limited supply disruptions in mining helped soften the decline compared to other regions. Export flows remained steady, but not sufficient to offset slower regional demand.
Southeast Asia: In Southeast Asia, metal silicon prices dropped sharply as demand in solar panel and chemical sectors weakened. The metal silicon price index was under pressure from excess supply and competitive offers from overseas markets. Regional consumption levels remained subdued, with downstream buyers deferring purchases in anticipation of further corrections, amplifying bearish trends.
North America: In contrast to other regions, metal silicon prices in North America edged higher. The metal silicon price index gained momentum as robust demand from the aluminum industry supported procurement activity. Limited domestic supply added upward pressure, while cautious import volumes restricted availability. This created a short-term bullish sentiment despite global weakness.

Metal Silicon Industry Analysis
The global metal silicon industry size reached USD 7.99 Billion in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 12.50 Billion, at a projected CAGR of 4.85% during 2025-2033. Growth is supported by the rising adoption of metal silicon in aluminum alloys for automotive lightweighting, increasing use in solar photovoltaic applications, and expanding demand in semiconductors and silicones manufacturing. Strong industrial growth and technological advancements are expected to sustain long-term market expansion.
Latest developments in the Metal Silicon Industry:
- August 2025: Silicon Metals Corp. announced strategic advancement of its Maple Birch and Ptarmigan projects to meet growing demand for high-purity silica/high-purity silicon feedstocks. The company’s Maple Birch project in Ontario secured a permit for extracting 3,000 tons/year of high-purity quartz. Meanwhile, the Ptarmigan project in British Columbia offers very high SiO₂ content (~99.52%) quartz and obtained a five-year permit (from July 2025 to end-2029) to explore and develop scalable production. These moves aim to supply upstream silicon metal, photovoltaic, and semiconductor sectors.
- August 2024: SIMPAC Inc., a South Korean ferroalloy producer, established a joint venture with Brazilian manufacturer RIMA Industrial SA, a leading producer of silicon-based alloys and metals. Under this joint venture, both companies will produce low-carbon, high-purity silicon.
- October 2023: Ferroglobe bought a high-purity quartz mine in South Carolina, USA. This acquisition was made to ensure that Ferroglobe had access to this important commodity, which was expected to help it meet the expanding demand for high-purity silicon metal.
Product Description
Metal silicon, also known as industrial silicon, is a refined form of elemental silicon with a high purity level, typically ranging between 98% and 99.99%. It is produced through the reduction of quartz (SiO₂) with carbon in electric arc furnaces. The material is characterized by its high melting point, excellent thermal stability, and electrical conductivity. Metal silicon is a critical raw material for the production of aluminum-silicon alloys, which are widely used in automotive and aerospace industries for their strength and lightweight properties. It is also integral in the manufacture of silicones, semiconductors, and solar cells. Due to its versatile applications and role in advanced technologies, metal silicon is a cornerstone material in modern industrial and energy sectors.
