Core Viewpoint - The methane chlorides industry in China is experiencing significant growth in production capacity and output, with a projected total capacity of 3.84 million tons per annum by 2024, accounting for 48% of global capacity. The industry is expected to face increasing supply pressures, leading to potential market reshuffling and heightened competition among companies [1][5][6]. Industry Overview - Methane chlorides are products formed by substituting hydrogen atoms in methane with chlorine atoms, including methyl chloride, dichloromethane, trichloromethane, and carbon tetrachloride. They are widely used in refrigerants, solvents, coatings, film, acetate fibers, carbonates, and extraction agents [2][4]. Production Capacity - By 2024, there will be 16 methane chloride production enterprises in China, with a total capacity of 3.84 million tons per annum, representing 48% of global capacity. The production capacity is highly concentrated in East and North China, which together contribute 87.5% of the national capacity [5][6]. Production Volume - China's methane chloride production is expected to reach 3.07 million tons in 2024, reflecting a year-on-year increase of 5.9%. The capacity utilization rate is projected to be 79.9%, up by 4.4 percentage points from the previous year [6][7]. Market Demand - The consumption of methane chlorides is primarily driven by dichloromethane and trichloromethane. In 2024, the total consumption of dichloromethane is estimated at 1.337 million tons, a slight decrease of 1.5%, while trichloromethane consumption is expected to reach 1.349 million tons, an increase of 9.6% [8][10]. Competitive Landscape - The domestic market for methane chlorides is competitive, with over ten companies operating. Companies like Jinyi Technology and Yonghe Co. are actively optimizing their business layouts to enhance market competitiveness. Jinyi Technology has an annual production capacity of 370,000 tons, accounting for 9.6% of national capacity, while Yonghe Co. has a capacity of 197,000 tons, representing 5.1% [12][13]. Industry Development Trends - The methane chlorides industry is expected to face increasing supply pressures, leading to a supply-demand mismatch and potential market reshuffling. The trend of vertical integration in the industry is becoming more pronounced, with companies looking to extend their supply chains into downstream products such as refrigerants and high-performance fluoropolymers [13][14].

Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Recommended" rating for the chemical industry [1] Core Views - The chemical industry is expected to benefit from the ongoing "anti-involution" measures, which may lead to a significant slowdown in global chemical capacity expansion. This shift is anticipated to enhance cash flow and dividend yields for companies in the sector, transforming them from cash-consuming entities to cash-generating ones [7][27] - The report highlights the potential for domestic substitutes for Japanese semiconductor materials due to rising tensions in Sino-Japanese relations, which could accelerate the domestic market's growth in this area [6] Summary by Sections Recent Trends - The chemical industry has shown a relative performance increase of 16.1% over the past 12 months, outperforming the CSI 300 index, which increased by 11.6% [4] Key Price Movements - DMC (Dimethyl Carbonate) prices rose to 4400 CNY/ton, up 14.29% week-on-week, driven by strong demand from the electrolyte sector [14] - Lithium battery electrolyte prices increased to 27000 CNY/ton, up 8.00% week-on-week, although profit margins for manufacturers are under pressure due to rising raw material costs [14] - Diammonium phosphate prices in East China reached 3850 CNY/ton, up 5.48% week-on-week, amid rising production costs [14] Investment Opportunities - The report identifies four key opportunities in the chemical sector: 1. Low-cost expansion, focusing on companies like Wanhua Chemical and Hualu Hengsheng [9] 2. Improved industry conditions, particularly in chromium salts and phosphate rock [10] 3. New materials with high growth potential, such as electronic chemicals and aerospace materials [11] 4. High dividend yields from state-owned enterprises in the chemical sector, including China Petroleum and China National Chemical [11] Company Tracking and Earnings Forecast - The report provides a detailed earnings forecast for key companies, indicating a positive outlook for several firms in the chemical sector, with many rated as "Buy" [28]
