On December 3, 2025, China's ferrosilicon export market reported unchanged price references for both mainstream grades. The quoted prices were USD 1,020–1,040 per ton for FeSi72 and USD 1,090–1,120 per ton for FeSi75, both on an FOB Tianjin Port basis.
This market report provides a historical reference for buyers searching for ZhenAn ferrosilicon 72 75 export price. Both grades were reported unchanged compared with the previous assessment. These figures are historical market quotations, not current binding supplier offers. Actual export quotations depend on chemical specifications, particle size, order quantity, packaging and shipment arrangements.
ZhenAn Ferrosilicon 72 and 75 Export Price on December 3, 2025
The following table summarizes the two ferrosilicon grades reported in the December 3, 2025 China export market update.
| Product | Grade | Quoted Price (USD/ton) | Price Change | Trade Terms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ferrosilicon | FeSi72 | 1,020–1,040 | No change | FOB Tianjin Port |
| Ferrosilicon | FeSi75 | 1,090–1,120 | No change | FOB Tianjin Port |
Reference date: December 3, 2025.
Price basis: FOB Tianjin Port, China. The original source reports prices in USD per ton. Buyers should confirm whether the contractual weight unit is a metric ton (MT) when comparing international quotations.
Market status: Both grades were reported unchanged compared with the previous assessment. These figures represent historical market references rather than current spot offers.
FeSi72 vs FeSi75: Export Price Comparison
In the December 3, 2025 market assessment, FeSi75 was quoted above FeSi72. Comparing the lower ends of the two price ranges, the difference was USD 70 per ton. Comparing the upper ends, the difference was USD 80 per ton.
| Comparison | FeSi72 | FeSi75 |
|---|---|---|
| Quoted Price Range | USD 1,020–1,040/ton | USD 1,090–1,120/ton |
| Lower-End Price Difference | Reference | USD 70/ton higher |
| Upper-End Price Difference | Reference | USD 80/ton higher |
| Trade Terms | FOB Tianjin Port | FOB Tianjin Port |
The higher FeSi75 quotation represents a price premium in this particular market assessment. The original market commentary associated this difference with higher silicon-content requirements and tighter specifications from certain overseas buyers. However, the available price information does not establish these factors as the sole causes of the difference.
From a purchasing perspective, FeSi72 and FeSi75 should be compared according to actual silicon content, impurity limits, expected silicon recovery and the cost per unit of silicon delivered to the melt. The higher-priced grade is not automatically the more economical option for every steelmaking process.
Why Do Buyers Compare FeSi72 and FeSi75 Export Prices?
FeSi72 and FeSi75 are two commonly specified ferrosilicon grades. Their silicon content, chemical composition and purchasing cost influence how steelmakers evaluate them for different production requirements.
Silicon Content:
FeSi75 has a higher nominal silicon content than FeSi72. For the same addition mass, it supplies more nominal silicon. Actual recovery, however, depends on furnace conditions, addition practice, particle size and slag-metal reactions.
Chemical Composition:
The silicon percentage alone does not establish whether a grade is suitable for a particular steel. Buyers should also check aluminum, calcium, phosphorus, sulfur and carbon limits against the target steel specification.
Cost per Unit of Recovered Silicon:
When comparing the two grades, buyers should consider both the purchase price and the amount of silicon actually recovered during production. A higher initial price may be justified in some applications, but the decision should be based on plant operating data rather than the grade name alone.

What Affects FeSi72 and FeSi75 Export Quotations?
The historical market prices provide a reference for standard grades. Actual supplier quotations may differ according to the following technical and commercial requirements.
1. Chemical Composition and Impurity Limits
Buyers should specify the minimum silicon content and maximum limits for aluminum, calcium, manganese, chromium, phosphorus, sulfur and carbon. Tighter impurity requirements may require additional production control and inspection. The actual batch analysis should be compared with the agreed purchasing specification.
2. Particle Size and Size Distribution
Ferrosilicon is available in lumps, granules and powder. Crushing and screening requirements depend on the intended charging method. Buyers should confirm the nominal size range, acceptable fines percentage and oversize tolerance instead of relying only on a general size description.
3. Order Quantity and Packaging
The total order quantity, packaging specifications and loading arrangement affect the commercial offer. Common packing options include 25 kg bags and 1 MT jumbo bags. Moisture protection, bag strength and cargo marking should be specified for export shipments.
4. Inspection and Batch COA
A batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) helps buyers verify whether the delivered material meets the agreed chemical requirements. The inspection scope and reporting requirements should be confirmed before production or shipment.
5. Delivery Terms and Destination Port
FOB, CFR and CIF quotations have different cost scopes. FOB Tianjin does not include the main ocean freight to the destination port. Buyers should provide the destination and preferred trade term when requesting an export quotation.
Information Required for a Ferrosilicon Export Quotation
To obtain a comparable quotation for FeSi72 or FeSi75, buyers should provide the following information.
| Quotation Item | Required Information |
|---|---|
| Product Grade | FeSi72 or FeSi75 |
| Chemical Requirements | Si minimum and Al, Ca, P, S and C maximum limits |
| Physical Form | Lumps, granules or powder |
| Particle Size | Required size range and fines tolerance |
| Order Quantity | Total quantity and required weight unit |
| Packaging | 25 kg bags, 1 MT jumbo bags or agreed packing |
| Destination | Destination port and preferred Incoterm |
| Shipment Requirements | Target shipping period and inspection requirements |
Providing these details allows suppliers to prepare quotations against the actual purchasing specification instead of comparing prices based only on the nominal FeSi72 or FeSi75 grade.
