如何定位“市场化反内卷”？

Core Conclusions - The current anti-involution logic differs from supply-side reforms, focusing more on cost investigation and price monitoring to address low-price disorderly competition among enterprises [1] - The report discusses the potential for fundamental improvement in various industries based on three aspects: the degree of "involution," the degree of capacity clearance, and the elasticity of capacity clearance [1][3] - Two categories of benefiting directions are identified: the first category involves industries at the bottom of the cycle with a pressing need for anti-involution, such as photovoltaic equipment and general equipment; the second category includes industries with improved involution levels and high visibility in performance, such as home appliances and chemical raw materials [1][3][28] Industry Analysis - The report identifies three stages of the anti-involution market: the first stage involves expectations catalyzed by pricing policies, the second stage sees price increases in resource products, and the third stage involves high prices stabilizing [2][8] - Industries frequently mentioned in the current anti-involution discussion include photovoltaic, new energy vehicles, energy storage systems, and e-commerce platforms [2][8] - The report uses CAPEX, gross margin, and inventory historical percentiles to measure the degree of "involution" across various industries, revealing that upstream cyclical resource industries like non-ferrous metals and chemicals still exhibit high levels of involution [3][9] Benefiting Directions - The first category of benefiting industries is characterized by a pressing demand for anti-involution, being at the cycle bottom with initial signs of capacity clearance and good elasticity, including photovoltaic equipment and general equipment [21][28] - The second category includes industries that have already seen some improvement in involution levels and have high visibility in performance, such as home appliances and chemical raw materials [28][29] - The report emphasizes that the degree of industry concentration and the proportion of state-owned enterprises can influence the speed and elasticity of supply-side clearance, with higher concentration levels leading to quicker responses to policy changes [20]
