Forecast Trend Report by Period
China is considering restrictions on exports of advanced solar manufacturing equipment to the US, a move that points to intensifying technology and energy competition between Beijing and Washington.
Walter Bloomberg reported on Aug. 15 that China is weighing limits on shipments of high-end solar production equipment to the US.
Such a step could disrupt plans to expand solar factories and increase output in the US. China holds more than 80% of the market for key components used in the industry.
Markets are watching whether the measure could widen the US-China technology rivalry into the broader energy sector. It could also add to pressure to reshape supply chains.
Its impact on the global solar industry and energy markets will depend on whether the restrictions take effect and how broadly they are applied.
