Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - The glass industry is currently experiencing a situation where supply has decreased significantly, demand is weak, and inventory shows differentiation. The pressure on inventory after the Spring Festival is relatively high, and more supply clearance is needed. For the纯碱 industry, the pattern of increasing supply and decreasing demand continues, and attention should be paid to changes on the supply - side [28][38] Summary by Directory 01 Glass Supply - Recently, there have been many production cuts in the glass industry. Multiple glass production lines in different regions such as Central China, South China, and East China are scheduled for cold repair from the end of 2025 to early 2026, with a total reduction in daily melting capacity. As of December 5, 2025, the total daily melting capacity was 155,965 tons, a 3% decrease compared to the beginning of the year, with a reduction of 4,300 tons [4][7] Demand - There is an expected difference in demand. Downstream customers adopt a back - to - back purchasing model without stockpiling. Demand has declined, with fewer orders. The deep - processing order level is also affected [13] Inventory - Inventory shows differentiation. After the reduction in supply, manufacturers' inventory has shown differences. The inventory decreased last week and is expected to continue to decline next week. However, the upstream inventory reduction is mainly driven by speculative demand from the middle - stream. Continued attention should be paid to the inventory reduction situation [17] Month - to - Month and Basis - The increase in the futures market has strengthened basis trading and driven up upstream prices. The downstream in Shahe has started to participate, but the sustainability is limited. The month - to - month spread remains weak, and attention should be paid to inventory changes [24][26] Market Outlook - Based on a 6% decline in apparent demand, if the current supply remains unchanged, the inventory can be maintained at a reasonably high level. However, considering the relatively high middle - stream inventory, the pattern of squeezing profits will not change. There is an expected seasonal inventory build - up during the Spring Festival, and there is little opportunity for profit. If the profit squeeze continues, the post - festival pressure will not be too great. Theoretically, as long as the supply continues to decrease, there is an expectation of inventory reduction in the second half of this year [29] 02纯碱 Supply - The production of soda ash has increased, mainly due to the increased production of the second - phase project in Alxa. Several enterprises and projects are expected to be put into production in the future, including Hubei Xindu Chemical, Hubei Jinjiang New Materials, etc., which will further increase the supply [32][35] Demand - The pattern of downstream customers squeezing profits in the soda ash industry remains unchanged [36] Market Situation - The pattern of increasing supply and decreasing demand in the soda ash industry continues. The spot price remains low, and the month - to - month spread remains weak. Attention should also be paid to the production reduction situation in the future [38][39]
