SINOLINK SECURITIES(SH:600109) 智通财经网·2025-12-26 02:13Core Viewpoint - The report from Guojin Securities indicates that the home appliance industry will experience a "front high and back stable" trend in domestic demand by 2025, with a focus on volume growth in white goods and structural upgrades in black goods [1][2]. Domestic Demand - In 2025, the home appliance market is expected to show a "front high and back stable" trend driven by policy continuation and seasonal consumption [2]. - For white goods, volume growth is the main focus, with air conditioning performing better than refrigerators and washing machines in the first three quarters of 2025. The shipment growth rates for air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines are projected at +8.4%, +2.4%, and +4.1% year-on-year respectively [2]. - Black goods are expected to continue structural upgrades, with Mini LED penetration reaching 33% in Q2 2025, more than doubling year-on-year. Despite a decline in growth due to subsidy reductions in Q3, Mini LED penetration remains high at 28.3% [2]. - For 2026, the continuation of national subsidies may help mitigate pressures from high baselines and overspending. The report estimates potential declines in the overall home appliance market under different subsidy scenarios, with expected declines of -4%, -5.7%, and -7.3% for "same scale subsidy," "half scale," and "no subsidy" respectively [2]. External Demand - From early 2025, home appliance export growth has slowed due to tariff policies and global supply chain adjustments, but it still shows resilience and structural highlights [3]. - The export performance of refrigerators and washing machines is better than that of air conditioners, influenced by weather factors and a high baseline from 2024 [3]. - Black goods have shown resilience, with a notable recovery in TV exports since July 2025, attributed to easing tariffs and replenishment in overseas channels [3]. - The global home appliance demand is expected to remain relatively stable in 2025, with various regional outlooks indicating neutral to negative sentiments [3]. Investment Themes - Investment Theme 1: The global narrative for black goods is shifting from "market share pursuit" to "profit and pricing power."
