Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoint The price of polyethylene has an upward expectation due to the support from the demand - side, especially with the arrival of consumption seasons. However, the supply - side pressure from the continuous release of new production capacity is hard to relieve, so the price rebound height is expected to be limited. Technically, the plastic main contract faces obvious pressure at the gap on the K - line chart, and it's difficult for the price to break through the levels of 7450 and 7650 [11]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 New Production Capacity and Output Growth - From Q4 2024 to H1 2025, the new ethylene cracking device investment is highly concentrated, increasing the domestic supply pressure, especially in low - pressure and linear polyethylene, intensifying homogeneous competition. As of now, 343 million tons of new polyethylene devices have been put into production in 2025 [1]. - In the first eight months of 2025, China's polyethylene maintenance loss was 323.41 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.03%. The output was 2068.56 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 15%. The industry's operating rate has been around 75% since Q2. More devices are planned to be put into production later, mainly high - pressure and low - pressure, with limited linear production pressure, and most are scheduled for the end of the year [4]. - Multiple companies have new polyethylene device investment plans in 2025, with a total planned capacity of 663 million tons. The pressure on the general - purpose material market mainly comes from the first half of the year, and the output release in H1 still affects H2 [2]. 3.2 Demand in Traditional Peak Season - The operating rate of the plastic downstream industry has been lower year - on - year, and demand support has been insufficient. During the "Golden September and Silver October" peak season, the demand of most downstream products industries has increased, but it is still weaker than expected [7]. - In the agricultural film industry, demand is increasing, and the industry is in the peak production season. The operating rate will gradually reach the annual high, with a 20 - point increase space, and the demand will peak in early November. However, downstream factories mainly make rigid purchases [9]. - In the PE packaging film sector, supported by domestic and foreign holidays, orders are concentratedly released. Export orders for some products are increasing, and the demand for rigid products is expected to rise [9]. - In September, the PE pipe market is expected to shift from the off - season to the peak season, but the recovery of relevant industries is insufficient, and the demand recovery amplitude may be limited. After late September, demand is expected to improve [10].
