Core Viewpoint - The petrochemical industry is currently facing significant "involution" competition, leading to a situation where companies are experiencing increased production without corresponding profit growth. The industry's operating revenue profit margin has declined from 8.03% in 2021 to an expected 4.85% in 2024. However, since 2025, some sub-industries have begun to recover, with a year-on-year increase of 10.56% in net profit attributable to the parent company in the first three quarters, indicating a gradual stabilization and recovery in industry profitability [2][3]. Supply Side - Investment in fixed assets in the chemical raw materials and chemical products manufacturing industry has turned negative since June 2025, with capital expenditures in the basic chemical industry and several sub-industries declining for multiple consecutive quarters. The current expansion cycle in the industry is nearing its end. In September, policies aimed at stabilizing growth in the petrochemical industry were introduced to address low-price and disorderly competition and to promote the orderly exit of backward production capacity. Sub-industries such as silicone, caprolactam, and PTA polyester have responded to these "anti-involution" measures by either issuing or formulating industry guidelines. It is anticipated that there will be stricter approvals for new chemical product capacities, and the elimination of backward production capacity (such as small scale, high energy consumption, and high pollution) will accelerate, effectively alleviating the issue of supply surplus in the petrochemical industry [2][3]. Demand Side - Traditional demand is expected to see a moderate recovery due to global central banks entering a rate-cutting cycle and pausing balance sheet reductions, supported by monetary and fiscal policy stimuli. Emerging demand from sectors such as new energy, SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel), and AI continues to drive the need for key chemical materials that support technological upgrades in industries [3]. - The overseas chemical capacity reduction, driven by high energy costs and aging facilities, has led to a wave of plant closures in the European chemical industry since 2025. Currently, China's chemical product sales account for over 40% of the global market, with a well-established domestic petrochemical industry chain. As overseas capacity continues to clear and demand is expected to recover, Chinese chemical companies are likely to see an increase in global market share, accelerating the digestion of surplus capacity [3]. Macro and Chemical Product Prices - As of December 2025, the manufacturing PMI index was reported at 50.1%, an increase of 0.9 percentage points from the previous month, indicating expansion. The China Chemical Product Price Index (CCPI) was reported at 3927 points, a decrease of 9.4% from 4333 points at the beginning of the year, reflecting a decline in the ex-factory prices of major chemical products [3]. Oil Prices - In 2025, international oil prices exhibited a fluctuating downward trend, with Brent crude futures averaging approximately $69.15 per barrel and WTI crude futures averaging about $65.87 per barrel. This fluctuation was influenced by a combination of factors, including OPEC+'s gradual production increases, geopolitical conflicts, and macroeconomic sentiment. OPEC+ announced a pause in production increases at the beginning of 2026 to alleviate surplus pressures after a cumulative increase of 411,000 barrels per day from October to December. The demand from non-OECD countries, along with aviation fuel and petrochemical raw material needs, has become a major support for oil prices. Major institutions have narrowed their demand growth expectations for 2025-2026 to a range of 700,000 to 1.4 million barrels per day [4]. Investment Recommendations - The refining and chemical sector is expected to see a recovery in overall profits due to moderate oil prices and reduced cost fluctuations. The industry is also experiencing a shift towards "reducing oil and increasing chemicals," supported by clear anti-involution policy signals. Recommended companies include China Petroleum and Rongsheng Petrochemical [5][6]. - In the potassium fertilizer sector, potassium salt resources are expected to remain scarce, with a tight balance in global supply and demand over the next 2-3 years. Recommended company: Yara International, which holds significant potassium salt mining rights in Laos [6]. - In the phosphorus chemical sector, the demand for lithium iron phosphate in energy storage is expected to enhance the marginal pull on phosphorus ore demand, leading to a revaluation of phosphorus ore. Recommended companies include Chuanheng Co. and Yuntianhua [6]. - In the sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) sector, the EU has mandated a gradual increase in SAF blending ratios, with global SAF demand expected to double to 2 million tons by 2025. Recommended company: Zhuoyue New Energy, a leading domestic biodiesel enterprise [6][7].

Summary of Chemical Industry Conference Call Industry Overview - The chemical sector is entering a clear cyclical turning point starting from July 2024, with 2026 expected to be a significant year for the industry. [2] - Supply-side reforms have led to a substantial decrease in new capacity and production growth, creating a foundation for valuation recovery and an upward trend in the chemical stocks. [2] - Despite the current demand not fully recovering, the certainty on the supply side has resulted in strong stock performance. [2] Key Insights - **Investment Recommendations**: Prioritize large leading companies such as Hengli Petrochemical, Rongsheng Petrochemical, and Hualu Chemical, as well as high-elasticity targets in the polyester industry chain. [2][4] - **Oil Price Forecast**: Anticipation that oil prices may bottom out in the first half of 2026, providing a final opportunity for increased investment in the chemical sector. Historical data indicates that chemical stock prices typically bottom out about a year before oil prices. [5] - **PTA Market**: PTA prices have recently improved, with low-cost companies achieving slight profits. 2026 is expected to mark the beginning of profit recovery for PTA. [6] - **Aromatics Sector**: The aromatics industry, particularly PX prices, has shown significant increases due to expanded oil product cracking margins and reduced supply from the U.S. [10] - **Chlor-alkali Industry**: The chlor-alkali sector has faced simultaneous declines in caustic soda and PVC prices, leading to overall losses. Limited new capacity in caustic soda and PVC is expected to accelerate the exit of outdated capacities. [12][13] Additional Insights - **Biodiesel Market**: The second-generation biodiesel prices remain strong, with significant capacity increases expected from companies like Zhuoyue New Energy. [14] - **Refrigerant Market**: The refrigerant sector has seen price increases across major products, with a positive outlook for future price growth. [21][22] - **Silicon and Chromium Market**: Prices for silicon and chromium have remained stable, with expectations for a price increase in March due to seasonal demand. [7] - **Tire Industry**: The tire market is experiencing a seasonal slowdown, but domestic brands like Sailun are showing strong sales growth. [24] Conclusion - The overall outlook for the chemical sector in 2026 is strongly positive, with recommendations to focus on large leading enterprises and high-elasticity targets while closely monitoring supply-demand dynamics for optimal investment timing.
