Core Viewpoint - The PTA market is facing increasing supply-demand contradictions, leading to a compression of product profitability, with many companies experiencing losses. There is a strong demand for improvement in industry profitability, and recent discussions among major PTA companies regarding joint production cuts may help optimize the supply-demand structure [1][2]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - PTA capacity in China has rapidly expanded from 46.69 million tons in 2019 to an expected 91.35 million tons by August 2025, with a CAGR of 12.5%. The operating rate has declined to 78% in August 2025, down 12 percentage points from 90% in 2019, indicating a historical low [1]. - The price difference for PTA has narrowed to within 200 yuan/ton as of August 2025, resulting in most companies operating at a loss, highlighting the urgent need for profitability improvement [1]. Group 2: Industry Structure - The PTA industry is highly concentrated, with six companies controlling approximately 75% of the market share. This concentration facilitates a self-regulatory mechanism to avoid disorderly competition, and recent discussions among major companies about joint production cuts may enhance industry collaboration [2]. Group 3: Technological Advancements - Domestic PTA technology has undergone four iterations, leading to larger production units that significantly improve investment costs, energy efficiency, and raw material consumption. New low-cost facilities are expected to push older, smaller, and higher-cost capacities out of the market [3]. - Currently, about 40% of domestic PTA capacity utilizes older technologies (P7 and below), indicating substantial room for structural optimization [3]. Group 4: Future Outlook - The expansion of PTA capacity is nearing its end, with only one additional facility expected to come online in October 2025. The pace of new capacity additions is projected to slow significantly, with a CAGR of only 2.8% over the next three years [4]. - With the implementation of "anti-involution" policies, potential industry collaboration, and accelerated technological upgrades, the PTA market is expected to enter a new cycle of prosperity as domestic and international textile and apparel demand stabilizes [4]. Group 5: Investment Recommendations - Companies to watch include Hengyi Petrochemical (000703.SZ), Tongkun Co., Ltd. (601233.SH), Xin Feng Ming Group (603225.SH), Hengli Petrochemical (600346.SH), Dongfang Shenghong (000301.SZ), and Sanfangxiang (600370.SH) [5].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The cost side is under pressure, while the fundamentals of polyester staple fiber are fair. Upstream TA and EG are expected to accumulate inventory in the fourth quarter, putting pressure on prices. PX has a loose fundamental situation, and with crude oil under pressure, PX prices are expected to fluctuate weakly. PTA has a situation of increasing supply and weak demand, and if the planned TA maintenance in the fourth quarter is implemented as scheduled, it will bring some improvement to the fundamentals. Ethylene glycol has a situation of strong supply and weak demand, with a loose fundamental pattern and expected inventory accumulation in the future, so its price is expected to be under pressure. [73] - On the supply side, the operating load of polyester staple fiber is at a historical high. From January to September 2025, the average operating load of polyester staple fiber was 89.29%, a 7.58 - percentage - point increase compared to the same period last year. In terms of device changes, a 200,000 - ton staple fiber device of the former Jingwei resumed production in April, and a 100,000 - ton (including 20,000 - ton staple fiber) device of Xinhongxiang (formerly Xinghong) resumed production in May. It is expected that although there will be no new device put into operation for direct - spinning polyester staple fiber by the end of 2025, the effective production capacity will increase. As of September 26, the inventory of polyester staple fiber was 9.3 days, a decrease of 3.5 days compared to June 27. [73] - On the demand side, there is a pattern of a non - prosperous peak season. As of September 26, the operating rate of polyester yarn was 64.2%, a decrease of 2.6 percentage points compared to June 27; the operating rate of looms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was 70%, a month - on - month increase of 4 percentage points. From January to August 2025, the cumulative yarn production in China was 12.194 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 6.5%. The cumulative cloth production was 1.6418 billion meters, a year - on - year decrease of 1.3%. As of August 2025, the yarn inventory of textile enterprises was 26.58 days, a decrease of 0.65 days compared to the end of the second quarter. The grey cloth inventory was 33.87 days, a decrease of 2.74 days compared to the end of the second quarter. In the off - season of the fourth quarter, the finished - product inventory of textile enterprises is expected to increase. [73] - Overall, compared with other polyester products, the fundamentals of staple fiber are relatively better. The supply operating rate is at a high level, the finished - product inventory is being depleted, and downstream has the ability to digest staple fiber. The performance in October may be similar to that in September. With upstream prices under pressure, it will benefit the profit repair of downstream staple fiber. If the demand for staple fiber exceeds expectations, the price elasticity of staple fiber will be relatively large. [73] Summary by Directory 1.
