China's Diode Price Surges 16% to New Record of $19.1 per Thousand Units

China Diode Export Price in September 2022

In September 2022, the diode price amounted to $19.1 per thousand units (FOB, China), surging by 16% against the previous month. Over the last eight months, it increased at an average monthly rate of +2.9%. As a result, the export price attained the peak level and is likely to continue growth in the immediate term.

Prices varied noticeably by the country of destination: the country with the highest price was South Korea ($70.0 per thousand units), while the average price for exports to Taiwan (Chinese) ($9.5 per thousand units) was amongst the lowest.

From January 2022 to September 2022, the most notable rate of growth in terms of prices was recorded for supplies to South Korea (+23.4%), while the prices for the other major destinations experienced more modest paces of growth.

China Diode Exports

In September 2022, overseas shipments of diodes, other than photosensitive or light emitting diodes were finally on the rise to reach 16B units for the first time since June 2022, thus ending a two-month declining trend. Over the period under review, exports, however, recorded a noticeable shrinkage. The pace of growth was the most pronounced in March 2022 when exports increased by 24% against the previous month. Over the period under review, the exports reached the maximum at 19B units in June 2022; however, from July 2022 to September 2022, the exports remained at a lower figure.

In value terms, diode exports skyrocketed to $299M (IndexBox estimates) in September 2022. In general, exports showed a relatively flat trend pattern. The most prominent rate of growth was recorded in March 2022 when exports increased by 34% m-o-m. Over the period under review, the exports hit record highs at 310M units in June 2022; however, from July 2022 to September 2022, the exports failed to regain momentum.

China Diode Exports by Country

Hong Kong SAR (7.3B units) was the main destination for diode exports from China, with a 46% share of total exports. Moreover, diode exports to Hong Kong SAR exceeded the volume sent to the second major destination, Germany (1.5B units), fivefold. The third position in this ranking was taken by India (1B units), with a 6.5% share.

From January 2022 to September 2022, the average monthly rate of growth in terms of volume to Hong Kong SAR stood at -2.5%. Exports to the other major destinations recorded the following average monthly rates of exports growth: Germany (+0.4% per month) and India (+3.0% per month).

In value terms, Hong Kong SAR ($124M) remains the key foreign market for diode exports from China, comprising 42% of total exports. The second position in the ranking was held by South Korea ($51M), with a 17% share of total exports. It was followed by Germany, with a 9.2% share.

From January 2022 to September 2022, the average monthly growth rate of value to Hong Kong SAR amounted to -1.5%. Exports to the other major destinations recorded the following average monthly rates of exports growth: South Korea (+19.7% per month) and Germany (+0.8% per month).

Factors Affecting Diode Prices

Diodes are used in a wide variety of electronic devices, from simple circuits to complex computers. The price of diodes in China has been falling in recent years, due to a number of factors.

One factor is the increasing efficiency of diode manufacturing processes. As manufacturers have become more experienced in making diodes, they have been able to reduce production costs and sell diodes at lower prices. Another factor is the growing competition among diode makers in China. With more companies competing for market share, prices have come down.

A third factor influencing the price of diodes in China is the availability of raw materials. China has become a major producer of many types of metals and other materials used in making diodes, so the cost of these inputs has fallen as well. This has helped keep prices down for consumers.
