MONTHLY: China's FeSi output drops 10% MoM in February

China's ferrosilicon (FeSi) production witnessed a significant decline in February, with the total tonnage among the 136 Chinese smelters under Mysteel's regular tracking falling by 9.9% on month and 12% on year to 393,880 tonnes, hitting a new low since May 2024. The sampled smelters host 90% of China's FeSi smelting capacity.

The sharp on-month fall in February was mainly due to three fewer days compared to January. On a daily basis, daily FeSi production among the sampled Chinese smelters averaged 14,067 tonnes/day, only down by 34 t/d from the average for January, the findings showed.
