Trichlorosilane (Abbreviated: TCS) is an inorganic compound with the formula HSiCl3. It is a colorless liquid, soluble in most organic solvents such as benzene, ether, and heptane, and is mainly used in the manufacture of polysilicon and silane coupling agents. Trichlorosilane is a chemical compound made up of silicon, hydrogen and chlorine. It is the primary raw material used in the manufacture of polycrystalline silicon metal for the semiconductor and solar cell industries. It is also sold directly to semiconductor customers for use in their processes.

China is the largest market with about 35% market share. Followed by America and Korea, accounting for about 38% market share. The key players are KCC, Wacker, Hemlock, OCI, Tokuyama, REC, SunEdision, Evonik, Jinmao, Tangshan SunFar, Daqo New Energy, TBEA, GCL, Henan Shangyu, Yongxiang Co, Chenguang etc. Top 5 companies occupied about 51% revenue market share.

Market driving factors

The vigorous development of the photovoltaic industry:

Trichlorosilane is an important raw material for the production of polysilicon and silane coupling agents, and polysilicon is an important material for photovoltaic products. With the increasing global favor for renewable energy and the promotion of the domestic "dual carbon" policy, the photovoltaic industry has ushered in unprecedented development opportunities. The production capacity of polysilicon continues to expand, and the market demand for trichlorosilane continues to grow.

The promotion of the semiconductor industry:

The dependence of semiconductor manufacturing on trichlorosilane is also increasing. In particular, electronic-grade trichlorosilane can be used in the preparation process of silicon epitaxial wafers and is one of the key raw materials for semiconductor manufacturing. The rapid development of the semiconductor industry has further stimulated the growth of the trichlorosilane industry.

The growth of the silane coupling agent market:

As an important downstream product of trichlorosilane, silane coupling agent is the most demanded of functional silane products. In recent years, silane coupling agents have been widely used in photovoltaic, glass fiber, special plastics and other industries. The industry has developed rapidly, and the demand for trichlorosilane has also been driven.

Policy support and environmental protection requirements:

The implementation of national new energy-related policies and plans has provided a broad market space for raw material industries such as trichlorosilane. At the same time, with the tightening of national environmental protection policies and the continuous optimization of industrial structure, the trichlorosilane industry has gradually developed in the direction of high quality and greenness.
