Overview:

Polysilicon, also known as poly-si or polycrystalline silicon, is a high purity, polycrystalline form of silicon that is used as a raw material by the electronics and photovoltaic industry. It is produced from metallurgical grade silicon through either one of these chemical purification processes - the Seimens process, the fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR) process or the metallurgical-grade silicon process. Depending on the end-use and scale of production, manufacturers can opt to use either of these manufacturing processes.

Dynamics:

The increasing demand for semiconductors and photovoltaics is projected to fuel growth over the next ten years. Tax exemption in the solar industry and the implementation of clean energy policy goals are expected to augment demand for these products over the coming years.
