氯碱产业链、LPG 与橡胶——无化不谈 20251121 摘要 PVC 新增产能显著，但房地产需求疲软和出口不确定性导致基本面偏弱。 截至 10 月中旬，外购电石的 PVC 利润进一步亏损，10 月上旬山东外购 电石的 PVC 利润跌至负 300 元以下，并进一步扩大至负 350~-400 元 区间。 短期内，PVC 开工率预计维持高位，但印度反倾销政策是出口核心变量。 印度前期集中补库，10 月份新增订单趋于一般且采购意愿下降，预计四 季度出口量将较三季度小幅回落。11 月 12 日印度宣布撤销包括 PVC 在 内的 14 类化工品 BS 认证要求，这一变化将减少 BS 认证对出口造成的 波动。 PVC 库存水平明显高于往年同期，截至 11 月中旬最新库存为 50.59 万 吨，同比增加约 25%。高库存主要由于新增产能投放、检修减少及需求 不足所致。在没有大规模减产或显著改善出口之前，库存去化难度仍然 较大。 烧碱方面，2025 年计划投产新产能，供应端压力依然较大。自 11 月以 来烧碱价格持续小幅回落至 2,450 元左右，ECU 利润回落至 200~300 元区间，好于 8~9 月份水平，使得烧碱开 ...

Core Viewpoint - The Indian government's sudden withdrawal of BIS certification for 14 chemical products, including PTA and PVC, is expected to significantly impact the polyester and PVC industries, potentially reviving export growth and market dynamics [1][2]. Group 1: Policy Changes - On November 12, 2025, the Indian Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) announced the immediate cancellation of BIS certification for PTA, MEG, PSF, FDY, POY, and PVC homopolymer, which had been in place for nearly two years [1][2]. - The BIS certification process for PVC has undergone multiple delays, with the original certification requirements announced on February 26, 2024, and subsequently postponed several times until the final cancellation in November 2025 [2]. Group 2: Export Impact - The implementation of BIS certification had a drastic negative effect on PTA exports from China to India, plummeting from 960,000 tons in 2022 to 380,000 tons in 2024, representing a decline from 28% to 8% of total PTA exports [3]. - Polyester exports, particularly for PTA and polyester filament yarn, were significantly affected, with monthly exports of polyester filament yarn dropping from over 70,000 tons in September 2023 to approximately 160,000 tons for the entire year of 2024 [3]. Group 3: Market Dynamics - Despite the challenges in the Indian market, other Asian countries have shown increased demand, with China's total polyester exports reaching 10.23 million tons in the first nine months of 2025, a year-on-year increase of 16.3% [4]. - The cancellation of BIS certification is expected to eliminate key barriers to entry for Chinese polyester products, potentially reversing the decline in PTA exports and providing support to the domestic polyester industry facing oversupply pressures [5][6]. Group 4: Future Outlook - Analysts believe that while the immediate impact of the BIS certification cancellation is positive, the long-term growth of polyester exports will still depend on overall demand in the Indian market and competition from overseas suppliers [6]. - For PVC, the cancellation is seen as a stabilizing factor for exports to India, although there may be a temporary decline in export volumes due to previous "export rush" phenomena and seasonal factors [6][7].

Core Viewpoint - The recent decline in temperature along the Yangtze River has led to a seasonal exit of aquaculture and a decrease in demand for rapeseed meal, but low inventory levels and supply tightness due to trade friction are supporting a rebound in rapeseed meal prices [2][5]. Group 1: Supply and Import Trends - China's rapeseed meal supply has contracted significantly, with a year-on-year decrease of 21.8% from January to September [3]. - During the same period, rapeseed imports fell by 42.2%, totaling 2.446 million tons, with imports from Canada dropping from 4.008 million tons to 2.33 million tons, a decline of 41.9% [3]. - The share of Canadian rapeseed meal in China's total imports has decreased from 72% to 49% year-on-year [3]. Group 2: Processing and Production Challenges - Domestic rapeseed oil mills are experiencing increased shutdowns despite high theoretical crushing profits, primarily due to rising import costs from anti-dumping policies and concerns over stringent inspections [4]. - The rapeseed crushing volume in October was only about 150,000 tons, and production is expected to remain low until the end of the year [4]. Group 3: Price Dynamics - Despite being in a traditional demand slump, low inventory levels are providing effective support for rapeseed meal prices, with coastal oil mills' rapeseed inventory dropping to a historical low of 6,000 tons by the end of October [5]. - The market is facing a tight supply of usable rapeseed meal, exacerbated by high costs due to a 100% anti-dumping tariff on Canadian rapeseed meal [5]. - Overall, while domestic demand for rapeseed meal is weak, low import volumes are likely to sustain low inventory levels, suggesting that rapeseed meal prices may strengthen and move away from historical lows [5].

Summary of Titanium Dioxide Industry Update and Future Outlook Industry Overview - The titanium dioxide (TiO2) industry is primarily influenced by supply and demand dynamics, with a notable price rebound expected in early 2025 due to declining operating rates in Q4 2024. [1][2] - Despite a slight price increase in September, the overall prices remain at a low level for the year, with many manufacturers facing losses or marginal profits due to high costs. [1][4] - China's titanium dioxide industry is set for significant expansion, with an expected increase of 450,000 tons in effective capacity by 2025 and an additional 380,000 tons by 2026, potentially exceeding 7 million tons in total capacity. [1][5] Key Points on Price Trends - Titanium dioxide prices are projected to experience fluctuations, with an initial rise followed by a decline due to increased production and supply exceeding demand by April 2025. [2][20] - The price drop from the highest to the lowest point this year is approximately 20%, with current prices still near the lowest levels. [4] - Short-term prospects indicate limited potential for further price declines unless upstream raw material costs decrease significantly. [4] Capacity and Production Insights - Current effective capacity in the titanium dioxide industry is expected to reach 6.5 million tons in 2025, up from 6.05 million tons in 2024. [6] - Major contributors to the new capacity include Guizhou Shengweifuqian (80,000 tons), Panzhihua Taikai Technology (60,000 tons), and Inner Mongolia Dadi Yuntian (100,000 tons). [6][7] - The industry has seen minimal permanent exits, with only Jinan Yuxing Chemical declaring bankruptcy, while many companies have opted for production cuts or temporary shutdowns. [8][10] Market Challenges and Responses - The market is facing pressures from overcapacity, weak demand, and anti-dumping policies affecting exports, particularly to India and Brazil. [2][21] - Approximately 360,000 tons of capacity from smaller firms may exit the market due to ongoing losses and lack of competitive advantage. [10] - The Chinese titanium dioxide industry is adapting to global trade changes by seeking new markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, compensating for losses in traditional markets. [22] Future Outlook - The global titanium dioxide demand is expected to remain stable in 2025 compared to 2024, with potential growth driven by economic adjustments and increased demand in emerging markets. [16] - The price of titanium dioxide is anticipated to reach a turning point between late 2026 and early 2027, as the market undergoes adjustments and inefficient capacities are phased out. [20] - The anti-dumping policies imposed by the EU, India, and Brazil are expected to have a long-term negative impact on Chinese exports, but structural adjustments may help mitigate these effects. [21][23] Conclusion - The titanium dioxide industry is navigating a complex landscape of supply-demand dynamics, pricing pressures, and geopolitical challenges. The anticipated capacity expansions in China and strategic market adjustments may position the industry for recovery and growth in the coming years. [1][5][22]
