Dear users,
From the beginning of 2026 to date, China’s total wafer exports to Vietnam and Laos have ranked among the top three destinations, and Southeast Asia has become the PV market with the greatest transformation potential after India. In terms of trade flows, the exported wafers mainly supply the local integrated capacity of Chinese-funded enterprises. However, with tightening policies in the US, India, Europe, and other regions, the routes and forms of entrepot trade have changed. The “self-sufficiency” of wafer capacity in Southeast Asia has been put on the agenda. Enterprises are getting ahead of market trends and staying updated on international spot price dynamics. SMM delivers more comprehensive and diverse price information to the market, reducing transaction risks and costs in ex-China trade.
