Quick Market Answer
China ferro silicon export price remained stable on May 15. Export reference for FeSi72 stayed at USD 1140–1160/MT FOB Tianjin, while FeSi75 remained at USD 1180–1210/MT FOB Tianjin.
From the domestic side, China's main producing areas also showed no obvious price movement. FeSi75 in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia stayed around RMB 5900/MT, while FeSi72 in major production areas mostly stayed around RMB 5400–5550/MT. The stable domestic base gives short-term support to the current FOB Tianjin export quotation.

Price note: The above export price is for market reference. Final quotation depends on grade, size, powder content, order quantity, packing method, shipment date and destination port.
Domestic Ferro Silicon Price Snapshot
The domestic ferro silicon market also stayed steady. Producing areas and destination markets showed different price levels because of factory location, freight, tax-included quotation method and regional demand.

Why the Export Price Remains Stable
From our export supply view, the current ferro silicon market is not showing a strong push in either direction.
Domestic factory prices are steady in major producing areas such as Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Gansu and Qinghai. At the same time, delivered prices in East China and Southwest China remain higher because freight and regional demand are included in the delivered quotation.
This price structure explains why FOB Tianjin export offers have not moved much. The production-area cost base is stable, and export demand has not created enough pressure for suppliers to raise offers sharply.
FeSi75 still keeps a higher export price than FeSi72 because of its higher silicon content. For buyers who need 50–100mm lump, the final offer may still change with screened size, powder content and available stock, even when the market reference price looks unchanged.
What Domestic Regional Prices Tell Export Buyers
The domestic table is useful because it shows where the real cost pressure comes from.
Producing-area prices are lower than delivered prices, especially when compared with Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan and Yunnan. This gap mainly reflects freight, destination demand and delivery condition.
For export buyers, this means FOB Tianjin price is not decided only by the quoted domestic factory number. We also need to consider:
| Factor | Why It Matters for Export Price |
|---|---|
| Producing area price | Gives the basic factory cost level |
| Port delivery cost | Affects FOB Tianjin quotation |
| Grade | FeSi75 costs more than FeSi72 |
| Size | 50–100mm, 10–50mm or screened lump may differ |
| Powder content | Lower fines may require better screening |
| Packing | 1MT jumbo bag is standard; custom packing may change cost |
| Shipment timing | Stock and loading schedule affect final quote |
| Freight route | CIF/CFR price changes by destination port |
This is why a serious ferro silicon quotation should not stop at "FeSi72 price" or "FeSi75 price." You need to confirm grade, lump size, packing, destination port and shipment term.

Short-Term Market View
For the short term, ferro silicon export price is likely to stay in a stable range if domestic factory prices and spot supply remain unchanged.
We do not see a strong reason for a sharp export price increase at the moment. Domestic prices are steady, and overseas inquiries are mostly following actual demand. But price cuts may also be limited because factory cost, regional freight and FeSi75 premium still provide support.
The market points to watch are:
factory price movement in Inner Mongolia, Ningxia and Qinghai
steel plant purchasing rhythm
export inquiry volume
available stock for FeSi72 and FeSi75
freight from factory to Tianjin port
ocean freight for CIF/CFR quotation
For buyers planning June shipment, it is better to check quotation earlier if you need fixed size, lower powder content or container loading schedule.

FAQ
Q:Why did China ferro silicon export price remain stable?
A:China ferro silicon export price stayed stable because the domestic production-area market did not show strong movement. FeSi72 and FeSi75 prices in major areas such as Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Gansu and Qinghai remained steady, while export inquiries were mostly based on actual demand. This kept FOB Tianjin offers in a stable range.
Q:Why is FeSi75 more expensive than FeSi72?
A:FeSi75 has higher silicon content than FeSi72. In export orders, FeSi75 usually carries a price premium because it provides higher Si input for steelmaking, foundry and metallurgical use. The final price difference also depends on stock, size, powder content and packing.
Q:Does domestic regional price affect FOB Tianjin quotation?
A:Yes. Domestic producing-area prices provide the base cost, while freight to Tianjin port, packing, screening and shipment schedule also affect the final FOB Tianjin quotation. Delivered prices in Shanghai, Jiangsu, Shandong, Sichuan and Yunnan are higher mainly because freight and regional delivery costs are included.
Q:Can you supply 50–100mm ferro silicon lump?
A:Yes. We can supply FeSi72 and FeSi75 in 50–100mm lump size for export orders. Other sizes such as 10–50mm or customized screened size can also be discussed before quotation. If your furnace has powder-content limits, please confirm them before order.
Q:What documents can you provide for ferro silicon export?
A:We can provide COA, MSDS, packing list, commercial invoice and other export documents according to your order requirement. If you need SGS or other third-party inspection, please confirm it before shipment.
Q:Can you quote CIF or CFR price?
A:Yes. Please send your required grade, size, quantity, packing method and destination port. We can check FOB Tianjin, CIF or CFR quotation according to current stock, inland cost and ocean freight.
Q:What should I confirm before asking for ferro silicon price?
A:You should confirm grade, size, quantity, packing, destination port and shipment term. For example: FeSi72 or FeSi75, 50–100mm lump, 1MT jumbo bag, FOB Tianjin / CIF / CFR. These details help us quote the correct material instead of giving only a rough market price.
