# Global photovoltaic demand recovers, silicon material prices stabilize, Crown Material rises over 13%

On April 17th, the photovoltaic concept was partially active, with **Crown Material (688560.SH)** rising over 13%. **Saiwu Technology (603212.SH)**, **Aotwei (688516.SH)**, **Liancheng CNC (920368.BJ)**, **Zhonglai Co., Ltd. (300393.SZ)**, **Laplace (688726.SH)**, and **Aero Energy (688717.SH)** also followed suit.

In terms of news, SMM expects that in the coming years, the market share of the BC technology route in China's photovoltaic module and photovoltaic cell production will show a year-on-year increase, with the market share expected to exceed 30% by 2030. Internationally, the latest data released by the Federal Network Agency of Germany shows that in March 2026, Germany's newly installed photovoltaic capacity reached 1.41GW, driving the total installed capacity in the first quarter to 3.28GW, with a significant rebound in installation speed compared to the previous two months.

The Silicon Industry Association believes that after a rapid decline in polysilicon prices for two and a half months, downstream companies generally believe that silicon material prices are close to the bottom, and there is very limited room for further decline. Even if prices still have slight adjustments in the future, the potential inventory depreciation losses are within a controllable range. Some companies, based on a "bottom-fishing" mentality, have begun tentative purchases or small stockpiling
