60% of China PV makers may be forced out in 2017, say reports
Nuying Huang, Taipei; Adam Hwang, DIGITIMES [Friday 23 December 2016]

Viewing that China-based PV makers are characterized by relatively high debt asset ratios, and global PV demand will shrink in 2017, about 60% of China-based PV makers, especially second- and third-tier ones, will be unable to survive and may be forced out of market in 2017, according to China-based media reports.

China-based makers’ total output of PV modules has recently increased a great deal but domestic demand is not large enough to absorb the output, the reports said. Therefore, China-based PV module makers have dumped products in overseas markets and consequently prices for China-made PV modules in Europe have dropped to EUR0.40 (US$0.42)/W, much below the minimum import price of EUR0.56 set by the European Union.
