Ge Long Hui·2025-12-23 04:32Industry Overview - Demand for photovoltaic glass is weak, with inventory days increasing rapidly and prices dropping to 11.5 yuan per square meter. Four leading companies are close to breakeven, while others are experiencing deeper losses [1] - It is anticipated that by 2026, the capacity utilization rate will further polarize, requiring a reduction of 5,000 to 20,000 tons of domestic photovoltaic glass capacity to achieve supply-demand balance [1] - Domestic component demand is expected to decline, leading to a 23-36% drop in photovoltaic glass demand, while overseas component demand may increase by approximately 60 GW, bringing total demand to around 150 GW [1] Price and Cost Analysis - The average price for 2.0mm photovoltaic glass is projected to stabilize next year, with an expected average price of 13-13.5 yuan per square meter, based on sales not falling below cost [2] - There is potential for slight cost reductions next year due to oversupply of raw materials like heavy alkali and ultra-white quartz sand, along with stable natural gas prices [2] Profitability Insights - Profit margins for leading companies are expected to improve, while second-tier companies may face continued downward pressure on profits [2] - Leading glass companies in China are projected to see improved domestic profitability, while second-tier companies struggle to increase sales through prices below the industry average [2] - Due to rising demand from foreign component manufacturers, net profits are expected to remain above 3 yuan per square meter for leading companies [2] Recommendations - Companies such as Xinyi Solar and Fuyao Glass are recommended, with a focus on South Glass A and Qibin Group [2]
