WF6 Supply Chain Shifting to China
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-20
This post highlights key signals from the semi-annual report of CSSC PERIC, China's largest WF6 producer: the company is leveraging a "supply chain substitution window" to expand its overseas customer base and secure orders through multiple long-term agreements. The post notes that WF6 is a crucial material for semiconductor deposition. China currently holds an advantage in upstream tungsten and high-purity extraction, driving the WF6 supply chain's shift from Japan to China. The author concludes that Japanese WF6 manufacturers will face pressure on profits and operating cash flows, while Chinese manufacturers stand to benefit from higher spot prices and stronger bargaining power.
