Core Viewpoint - The pig price experienced a rise in late October, returning to the 6 yuan era, but has since shown signs of stagnation and slight decline as of November, indicating a potential oversupply in the market [2][4]. Supply and Demand Dynamics - As of the end of Q3 2025, the national breeding sow inventory stands at 40.35 million heads, which is above the normal holding level of 39 million heads, suggesting an oversupply in the pig industry [2]. - The total pig inventory reached 437 million heads by the end of Q3, reflecting a 2.9% increase quarter-on-quarter and a 2.3% increase year-on-year, indicating that the supply of pigs is increasing rather than decreasing [2]. - Cumulative pig slaughter in the first three quarters was approximately 530 million heads, showing a year-on-year growth of 1.8%, further emphasizing the supply pressure in the market [2][4]. Seasonal Trends - The fourth quarter is typically a peak season for pork consumption, which also correlates with increased slaughter rates. Even maintaining the current growth rate, the total pig slaughter for 2025 could reach 710 million heads, just below the 726 million heads in 2023 [4]. Market Sentiment and Price Support - The previous rise in pig prices was largely driven by secondary fattening, but the current market expectations are low, leading to decreased enthusiasm for this practice due to rising costs [6]. - Two main factors currently support pig prices: the ongoing large pig market and market sentiment. As long as the price difference between large and standard pigs remains profitable, there will be some incentive for secondary fattening [7]. - Market sentiment remains stable due to upcoming consumption peaks in the fourth quarter, such as for preserved meats and holiday celebrations, which may prevent immediate price drops despite the lack of upward momentum [9].
