<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: center"><B>&nbsp;</B></P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">CHONGQING, China, July 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Daqo New Energy
Corp. (NYSE: DQ) (&quot;Daqo New Energy&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;), a leading manufacturer of high-purity polysilicon for
the global solar PV industry, today announced updates to its previous polysilicon and wafer sales guidance for the second quarter
of 2018 and reiterates its full year 2018 polysilicon production guidance.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company estimates that its polysilicon sales to external
customers during the second quarter of 2018 will be approximately 3,800 MT to 3,900 MT, as compared to the previous guidance of
approximately 5,300 MT to 5,500 MT. The Company sold approximately 2,600 MT of polysilicon during the first two weeks of July and
reduced inventory to low levels.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company produced 5,659 MT of polysilicon during the second
quarter of 2018, within the range of its previously announced guidance of 5,600 MT to 5,800 MT. The Company reiterates its full
year 2018 polysilicon production guidance of 22,000 to 23,000 MT, which takes into account the impact of annual facility maintenance.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company also estimates that its wafer sales volume during
the second quarter of 2018 amounted to approximately 9.5 million to 10.0 million pieces, as compared to the previous guidance of
approximately 15.0 million to 20.0 million pieces.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The above updates are mainly attributable to the new solar PV
policies issued by the Chinese government on May 31, 2018, which are expected to reduce solar installation quotas and feed-in tariffs
in China during the second half of 2018. The policies created significant uncertainty in the domestic solar market and negatively
impacted downstream demand. As a result, the Company's customers adjusted production plans and utilization levels, and due to the
volatility of polysilicon average selling prices, a significant number of customer orders were not confirmed until the beginning
of July.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">Mr. Longgen Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of Daqo New Energy,
commented, &quot;We remain confident in the long-term sustainable growth of polysilicon industry despite the new policies' impact
on shipments in the short-term. The new policies created significant uncertainty in the market and disrupted our downstream customer's
production plans. At the same time, polysilicon average selling prices saw increased volatility in June but have since stabilized
over the past two weeks.&quot;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 7.1pt; background-color: white">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&quot;Leveraging our strong
cash position, we maintained our production schedule believing that polysilicon ASPs would eventually stabilize and delayed shipments
until demand returned in early July. During the first two weeks of July, polysilicon prices stabilized and our shipments returned
to normal levels. We are currently running at full production capacity with low levels of inventory, which allows us to reiterate
our full year production guidance. The sudden change in policy hasn't impacted our long-term strategic plan to strengthen our leadership
position in the industry by further increasing our capacity, improving our cost structure and polysilicon purity.&quot;</P>
