CF40研究院：反内卷≠去产能，治理供需失衡的重点仍在于扩内需

Core Viewpoint - The recent "anti-involution" policy in China is not equivalent to "capacity reduction" but aims to correct market failures and establish fair competition, thereby stimulating innovation and promoting high-quality economic development [1][2][3] Industry Overview - The "anti-involution" initiative has been initiated in industries such as photovoltaic, steel, automotive, and cement, with a focus on enhancing product quality and orderly exit of outdated capacity [1][2] - The current supply-demand imbalance is primarily due to insufficient demand rather than significant capacity expansion in most industries [2][3] Policy Implications - The CF40 research suggests that the focus should remain on expanding effective domestic demand rather than solely on capacity reduction [1][3] - Future policy directions should shift from subsidizing industries to subsidizing consumption [1][2] Industry Performance Analysis - The analysis indicates that the "new three types" of industries, including electric machinery, automotive manufacturing, and computer communications, have significantly higher revenue shares compared to previous capacity reduction industries [8][9] - In 2023, the capital expenditure growth rate for the "new three types" industries was 21.0%, contributing 2.78 percentage points to the overall manufacturing capital expenditure growth rate [8][9] Potential Capacity Reduction Industries - Based on the decision tree model, seven industries are identified as potentially facing capacity reduction, including coal mining, petroleum and coal processing, and automotive manufacturing [4][5] - The cumulative PPI change, contribution to PPI growth, and ROA are critical dimensions for assessing potential capacity reduction [4][5] Demand and Supply Dynamics - The automotive industry faces a core issue of unmet potential demand rather than absolute capacity overcapacity, with potential annual sales estimated at 43.26 million vehicles by 2030 [18][19] - The actual depreciation scale of vehicles has been significantly lower than potential levels, indicating suppressed demand [18][19] Conclusion on New Industries - The "new three types" industries are characterized by high capital and technology intensity, and their capacity should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis rather than assuming a general overcapacity [9][19]
