| Brief Excerpt: | ...Silicon demand in the US is forecast to rebound from the decreases experienced in the 2000-2005 period and expand 2.4 percent per year through 2010 to 650,000 metric tons. Gains will be spurred by an expanding economy and recovery in primary end-use industries. 10, as crease their output to meet surges in domestic consumption. etal ollowing above-average growth of 2.6 Demand for silicon metal used by the chemical industry will rise 2.8 segments, and total 240,000 metric tons in 2010. Gains will be driven by rts d in 2005, up from 46 percent in 2000. More than three-fifths of net imports were of ferrosilicon, with ducers of silicon were Orkla (Norway), Globe Production of silicon in the US is expe cted to rally from historically low levels going forward, expanding 2.9 percent an nually through 20 manufacturers in Through 2010, ferrosilicon and other silicon alloys will continue to account for the majority of dem and, or 335,000 metric tons; however,...
