1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not provide an industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The fundamentals of soda ash are weak. With the increasing production load of Yuangxing Energy's Phase II project, high production levels of soda ash plants, and a general downward trend in the daily melting volume of downstream float glass and photovoltaic glass, the inventory of soda ash plants is at a historically high level for the same period. The industry's supply - demand mismatch has not been effectively improved, and it is expected to fluctuate weakly in the short term [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Soda Ash Futures Market - The closing price of the main contract is 1191 yuan/ton, the low - end price of heavy soda ash in Shahe is 1150 yuan/ton, and the main basis is - 41 yuan/ton, with a 0.00% change in all indicators [6]. Soda Ash Spot Market - The low - end price of heavy soda ash in Hebei Shahe is 1150 yuan/ton, unchanged from the previous day [12]. Soda Ash Production - The profit of heavy soda ash using the North China ammonia - soda method is - 160.80 yuan/ton, and that using the East China co - production method is - 97 yuan/ton, at a historical low [15]. - The weekly industry operating rate of soda ash is 83.25% [18]. - The weekly production of soda ash is 77.43 tons, including 41.40 tons of heavy soda ash, at a historical high [20]. - From 2023 to 2025, there were significant new production capacity additions in the soda ash industry. In 2023, 640 tons of new production capacity were added; in 2024, the planned new production capacity was 180 tons; in 2025, the planned new production capacity was 750 tons, with an actual production of 100 tons [21]. Soda Ash Demand - The weekly sales - production ratio of soda ash is 97.06% [24]. - The daily melting volume of national float glass is 14.98 tons, with an operating rate of 71.86% [27]. Soda Ash Inventory - The national in - plant inventory of soda ash is 189.44 tons, a 19.29% increase from the previous week, and the inventory is above the five - year average [33]. Soda Ash Supply - Demand Balance Sheet - From 2017 to 2024E, the soda ash industry's effective production capacity, production, and other indicators have changed. In 2024E, the effective production capacity is expected to reach 3930 tons, production is 3650 tons, and the supply - demand gap is 157 tons, indicating a supply surplus [34]. Influencing Factors - Positive factors: There is little cold - repair of downstream float glass, and the production remains stable [3]. - Negative factors: The production load of Yuangxing Energy's Phase II production line has increased, and there is no expectation of new maintenance, so production is expected to remain high. The production of photovoltaic glass, a downstream product of heavy soda ash, has decreased, leading to weaker demand for soda ash. The main logic is the high supply of soda ash, declining terminal demand, high inventory in the same period, and the ineffective improvement of the industry's supply - demand mismatch [5].
