First impact
Xinyi Solar Holdings Limited →Prices easeSolar Cover Glass (Low-Iron Float Glass for PV Modules)
As Indian module factories cut or halt output, demand for upstream solar cover glass weakens; with this edge's 34% market share, the resulting price pressure on the glass market is meaningful.
61% confidenceSolar-Grade Polysilicon →Prices easeChina supplies 93.5% of solar-grade polysilicon on this edge, so Indian module factory shutdowns soften demand and pricing in the dominant upstream supplier base.
56% confidenceFlat Glass Group Co., Ltd. →Prices easeSolar Cover Glass (Low-Iron Float Glass for PV Modules)
Indian module-factory shutdowns cut PV module output, which weakens demand for solar cover glass used in those modules; Flat Glass Group's 18% market share suggests meaningful but not sole exposure.
Hop 2
Solar Cover Glass (Low-Iron Float Glass for PV Modules) →Prices easeChina accounts for 90% of the supply on this edge, so weaker PV-module production should depress Chinese solar-glass prices.
80% confidenceSolar Cover Glass (Low-Iron Float Glass for PV Modules) →Prices easePanel-factory shutdowns cut demand for solar cover glass, so this 34% share supplier faces weaker pricing and sales.
77% confidenceSolar Cover Glass (Low-Iron Float Glass for PV Modules) →Prices easeHop 3
AGC Inc. →Prices easeSolar Cover Glass (Low-Iron Float Glass for PV Modules)
AGC supplies solar cover glass into PV module production, so panel factory shutdowns reduce offtake and put downward pressure on that input's price rather than creating shortage.
76% confidenceSaint-Gobain →Prices easeSolar Cover Glass (Low-Iron Float Glass for PV Modules)
Panel-factory shutdowns reduce downstream demand for PV cover glass, so Saint-Gobain's solar-glass business faces weaker offtake and pricing pressure; the edge's 7% market share suggests a meaningful but not dominant effect.
