1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The decline space of urea is limited, with support at the price of 1600. The reasons include: recent inspections of domestic gas - based plants leading to a decline in daily production, but high production and operation rates year - on - year; demand in the off - season with mainly reserve inventory, and an increase in demand for industrial compound fertilizers; a slight increase in cost support around 1500 - 1550; the issuance of the fourth batch of export quotas with an expected quantity of about 600,000 tons. Overall, the downward drive of urea slows down under the adjustment of off - season storage and exports, and it should be treated as a range - bound situation [4]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Urea Fundamental Overview - **Cost - end logic**: Coal prices have declined recently, while urea ex - factory prices have slightly increased. Coal - based urea profits are still low, close to the production cost of anthracite - based urea. The natural gas price in the southwest region remains stable, and gas - based urea profits are also low [8]. - **Supply - end logic**: Domestic gas - based plants are gradually under inspection, resulting in a decline in domestic production on a month - on - month basis, but the absolute quantity remains high, and the supply side is generally loose [8]. - **Demand - end logic**: In the agricultural sector, demand is in the traditional off - season with weak support, mainly for reserve replenishment. In the industrial sector, the compound fertilizer industry has a high operating rate, and other industrial demands maintain rigid procurement. After the issuance of the fourth batch of export quotas, speculative demand has weakened. Overall, domestic urea supply remains high with difficult - to - relieve pressure. Although agricultural demand is in the off - season, off - season storage is in an orderly manner, and the compound fertilizer industry maintains a high operating rate. Overall demand has slightly increased. With mid - stream reserve replenishment and exports, urea enterprise inventories have continuously decreased, and the fundamentals support a short - term bottom - rebound of spot prices [8]. 3.2 Price, Spread, and Profit - **Urea price changes**: This week, the urea spot market price has slightly increased, with mainstream regional prices rising by about 10 - 30 yuan/ton on a month - on - month basis. Local environmental warnings have affected the compound fertilizer industry and urea production, and market speculation about exports has stimulated downstream purchasing. Urea factory inventories have decreased, and orders have increased, with a firm price - quoting intention [27]. - **Regional spreads**: This week, regional spreads are within the normal range, which can be used to judge whether the regional logistics window is open [39][40]. - **Urea profits**: Coal - based urea profits remain low, close to the break - even point of anthracite - based production. Gas - based urea profits also remain low. The current ratio of urea to ammonium chloride is at a relatively high level compared to the same period in previous years, while the ratios to phosphate fertilizers and potash fertilizers are at low levels in previous years [63][66]. - **Overseas prices and spreads**: India has issued a new urea import tender, which has led to a rebound in the international urea market. Different regions have different price trends. The 5 - 9 spread of urea has strengthened by 15 yuan/ton this week, and the basis has weakened, for example, the 05 - contract basis in Henan has weakened by 18 yuan/ton compared to last week [78][89]. 3.3 Supply - Production and Operation - **Output and operation rate (Longzhong data)**: Urea daily production and operation rates are presented in the data, showing the operation of domestic urea plants [94]. - **Output and operation rate (Baichuan data)**: This cycle, domestic urea production is 1.3334 million tons, a decrease of 32,500 tons from last week. The operation rate is 78.77%, a decrease of 1.92%. Among them, coal - based urea is 87.06%, and gas - based urea is 50.37% [96]. - **Capacity investment and maintenance**: In 2025, the domestic urea capacity is 79.8 million tons, and it is planned to put into production 5.95 million tons in 2026, with an expected capacity growth rate of about 7.45%. By the end of 2026, the urea capacity is expected to reach 95.75 million tons. This week, the domestic urea plant maintenance loss is 301,700 tons, an increase of 11,800 tons from last week [102][113]. 3.4 Demand - **Agricultural fertilization**: Currently, agricultural demand is in the traditional off - season, mainly for reserve replenishment [8]. - **Compound fertilizers**: This cycle, the compound fertilizer market has partially increased, with an operation rate of 37.75%, a decrease of 1.62% from last week. Inventories have increased by 6,600 tons to 702,000 tons [129]. - **Melamine**: This week, melamine production is 30,200 tons, a decrease of 300 tons from last week. The operation rate is 58.07%, a decrease of 0.48%. The domestic melamine market has shown a narrow - range downward trend, with some fluctuations in production capacity utilization and market sentiment [143]. 3.5 Inventory - **Longzhong data**: This week, urea enterprise inventories are 1.0689 million tons, a decrease of 110,800 tons from last week. Port inventories are 177,000 tons, an increase of 39,000 tons from last week [144]. - **Baichuan data**: This week, enterprise inventories are 1.1128 million tons, a decrease of 94,400 tons from last week. Port inventories are 152,000 tons, an increase of 30,000 tons from last week [150].

1. Report's Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The downside space for urea is limited, with support at the [1600] price level. The reasons include the recent maintenance of domestic gas - based plants leading to a decline in daily production on a month - on - month basis, but high levels of production and operation rates on a year - on - year basis; domestic demand is mainly for off - season storage, and industrial compound fertilizer production is in a transition period with a month - on - month improvement in demand; and cost support has slightly increased. The cost support for urea is around 1500 - 1550. With the issuance of the fourth batch of export quotas, expected to be around 600,000 tons, the specific export volume in the later stage should be monitored. Overall, with off - season storage and export regulation, the downward drive for urea is limited, and it should be treated with a sideways view [3]. - In 2026, the domestic urea market is expected to maintain a pattern of loose supply and demand and continuous inventory accumulation, with the overall supply - demand pressure potentially intensifying. Cost support and export policies will be the key factors of concern. The disk pricing is expected to follow the fundamental logic. The peak agricultural demand season may drive the price to rise periodically, and the price will face pressure to decline after entering the off - season, but the cost of the production process will form a bottom support, and exports will adjust the supply - demand balance through quota regulation. It is recommended to focus on seasonal market trends and grasp the rhythm [9]. 3. Summary by Directory Urea Trend Review - In 2025, the urea price showed a wide - range volatile trend of rising first and then falling. In the first half of the year, the price fluctuated upwards due to domestic spring - plowing demand and export expectations, but the pressure of oversupply on the supply side gradually emerged. In the second half of the year, affected by the off - season of agricultural demand and the realization of export expectations, the price center continued to move down. The market can be divided into several stages: from mid - January, with the approach of the Spring Festival holiday, manufacturers' advance orders started, and spot transactions improved; after the Lantern Festival, spring - plowing demand gradually started, and the inventory of urea enterprises decreased rapidly; from mid - June, due to the geopolitical conflict in the Middle East, the international urea price rose, which had an impact on the domestic market; from mid - August, due to the weakening of domestic demand and environmental protection policies, the urea price accelerated its decline; from mid - October, with the warming of market trading, the reserve demand increased, and the price gradually rose [16][17]. Urea Supply Side New Capacity Situation - Domestic urea capacity has entered a new expansion cycle in recent years. As of now, coal - based production still dominates, accounting for over 70%, with the proportion of anthracite - based plants decreasing to about 20% and bituminous - coal - based plants increasing to about 55% [30][31]. - In 2025, without considering capacity exit, about 5.44 million tons of new capacity were put into production according to the plan, mainly from factory expansions and upgrades. In 2026, the domestic urea industry is still in the production cycle, with an estimated new production plan of 5.95 million tons and a capacity growth rate of over 7% [36][40]. - Globally, the urea capacity is expected to maintain a growth pattern in 2026, but the growth rate will slow down. The global urea capacity is expected to reach 247 million tons, with a year - on - year increase of about 0.78% [46]. Production and Operation - In 2025, domestic urea supply remained high due to high capacity and operation rates. The daily production reached over 1.9 million tons in the first quarter, with a peak exceeding 2 million tons. In the second quarter, the daily production continued to rise, remaining above 2 million tons for a long time. In the third quarter, due to high temperatures and frequent equipment failures and maintenance, the daily production decreased to the 1.8 - 1.9 million tons range, but rebounded in September. In the fourth quarter, affected by equipment maintenance and gas restrictions for enterprises in the northwest and southwest, the domestic supply showed a seasonal decline. The overall production in 2025 is expected to reach about 71 million tons, with a year - on - year increase of nearly 7.9%. In 2026, if no backward capacity exits or policy adjustments occur, the national urea production is expected to reach 74 - 75 million tons, with a year - on - year growth rate of over 5% [60]. Urea Export - In 2025, the cumulative urea export volume from January to October was 4.01 million tons, with a significant year - on - year increase. The total annual quota was about 4.6 million tons, distributed in four batches. The export destinations were relatively scattered, with the Americas being the main destination before August, and the proportion of exports to Southeast Asia increasing significantly after September - October [69]. - In 2025, India had 8 urea import tenders, with a transaction volume of about 9.18 million tons, a significant increase compared to the same period in 2024. It is estimated that India's domestic urea production in 2025 was about 29.8 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of about 3.56%, and the import volume was about 10.2 million tons, a year - on - year increase of about 92.82%. In 2026, assuming normal production in India, it is estimated that India will need to import about 8 million tons of urea to maintain domestic supply - demand balance [70]. - For 2026, the export volume of domestic urea still depends on policy guidance. It is expected that exports will still be concentrated in the third and fourth quarters. If the export quota increases, the domestic supply pressure may be relieved; otherwise, the supply pressure will be more severe [65]. Urea Demand Substitute Demand - Synthetic ammonia, as an intermediate product of urea production, is still mainly used for urea production due to the relatively high price difference between urea and synthetic ammonia, and the external sales volume has not increased significantly [107]. - Urea has a cost - performance advantage compared to phosphate and potash fertilizers. The production and export volumes of ammonium sulfate and ammonium chloride have increased significantly in 2025, and the supply - demand pattern of nitrogen fertilizers has become looser, with the price ratio of urea to other fertilizers at a relatively high level [115][141]. Agricultural Demand - Urea agricultural demand is seasonal and rigid. The peak demand season is from March to May, and from June to July, the demand for field crops such as rice and corn is high. After August, it enters the off - season. In 2025, the domestic urea agricultural demand consumption was about 29.48 million tons, with a year - on - year growth rate of about 2.11%, but the growth rate slowed down compared to previous years. In 2026, the growth rate of urea agricultural demand is expected to further slow down [148][161]. Compound Fertilizer Demand - Compound fertilizer accounts for 15% - 20% of the downstream demand for urea. In 2025, the compound fertilizer production was expected to be 58.5 million tons, a year - on - year increase of about 5.10%, but the average operation rate decreased by about 0.40%. In 2026, the over - supply pressure in the compound fertilizer industry will still exist, and the average operation rate may continue to decline, but the demand for urea will still maintain a growth trend [171]. Urea - Formaldehyde Resin Demand - Urea - formaldehyde resin accounts for about 20% of the downstream demand for urea. In 2025, the overall operation rate of formaldehyde increased slightly, and the export demand for panels maintained a growth trend, driving the demand for urea to maintain a small increase. It is estimated that the demand for urea from the urea - formaldehyde resin sector in 2025 was about 10.82 million tons, with a year - on - year growth rate of about 2.5% [170][172]. Melamine Demand - Melamine accounts for about 7% - 10% of the downstream demand for urea. In 2025, the total melamine production was expected to be about 1.52 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 3.76%, and the demand for urea was about 4.56 million tons, a year - on - year decrease of 170,000 tons. In 2026, the demand for urea from melamine and urea - formaldehyde resin is expected to remain stable, with limited highlights [178]. Off - Season Storage Demand - The new "National Fertilizer Commercial Reserve Management Measures" for the 2024 - 2026 period has some differences compared to previous years, including a reduction in the urea storage ratio, a change in the requirements for individual targets, an extension of the storage period, an adjustment of the storage assessment indicators, and an extension of the release time [190]. Urea Inventory - Enterprise inventory has strong seasonality, usually decreasing in the first half of the year and increasing in the second half. In 2025, due to high supply pressure, the enterprise inventory was at a relatively high level throughout the year, and although there was some destocking in November, the absolute inventory level was still high [199]. - Port inventory is closely related to export policies. After the export quota was officially issued in May 2025, the port inventory increased in an orderly manner. From September to October, with the increase in actual exports, the port inventory decreased rapidly [199]. Urea Supply - Demand Balance Sheet - In 2026, the new production capacity of urea is expected to bring an incremental output of about 2 million tons. The annual output is estimated to be around 75 million tons, with a year - on - year increase of about 4 million tons and a growth rate of about 5.5%. - The export volume is estimated to be about 5.5 million tons, and the annual consumption is estimated to be about 68 million tons. The domestic urea supply - demand will remain in an oversupply pattern throughout the year, and the price will depend on the game between cost and exports [205].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - Urea opened flat and moved higher today, closing up. The spot market continued to decline, but sentiment improved after the futures rebounded. The fundamentals have limited support, and the market will mainly fluctuate at high levels without news or fundamental stimuli [1]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Analysis - Urea opened flat and moved higher, closing up. The spot market continued to decline, but sentiment improved after the futures rebounded. The current daily production is 200,000 tons. There are still plans to shut down and reduce production of gas - fired plants in the southwest in January, but many previously shut - down plants will resume production, so it's hard to have new low daily production data. Affected by environmental protection restrictions in North China, terminal sales are restricted, and the operating load of compound fertilizer plants continued to decline by 1.62 percentage points. After a meeting last week, key phosphate fertilizer producers and major downstream purchasers reached a consensus on ensuring supply and stabilizing prices of phosphate fertilizers, and the winter storage market is operating stably. After the environmental protection restrictions are lifted, the operating rate may rise, and the raw material procurement end has resilience. The price of compound fertilizer before the Spring Festival tends to be stable, and the inventory reduction amplitude has increased this period, currently 456,100 tons lower than the same period last year. The energy - chemical sector strengthened today, and urea rebounded but had limited fundamental support, with a slight decline after reaching a high [1]. Futures and Spot Market Futures - The main urea 2605 contract opened at 1,735 yuan/ton, opened flat and moved higher, closing up. It finally closed at 1,743 yuan/ton, a positive line, with a change of 0.46%. The position volume was 204,038 lots (+9,235 lots). Among the top 20 main positions of the main contract, long positions increased by 5,151 lots and short positions increased by 9,057 lots. Among them, CITIC Futures had a net long position of +1,222 lots, GF Futures had a net long position of +1,018 lots; Galaxy had a net short position of +1,797 lots, and Yide Futures had a net short position of +2,549 lots. On December 30, 2025, the number of urea warehouse receipts was 12,381, a net increase of 1,631 from the previous trading day [2]. Spot - The spot market continued to decline, but sentiment improved after the futures rebounded. The ex - factory prices of small - particle urea from urea plants in Shandong, Henan, and Hebei were mostly in the range of 1,620 - 1,690 yuan/ton, with Henan plants' prices at the lower end [1][4]. Fundamental Tracking Basis - Today, the mainstream spot market quotation declined while the futures closing price rose. Based on the Henan region, the basis weakened compared with the previous trading day, and the basis of the May contract was - 53 yuan/ton (- 18 yuan/ton) [7]. Supply Data - According to Feiyitong data, on December 30, 2025, the national daily urea production was 201,600 tons, unchanged from yesterday, and the operating rate was 83.08% [10].

Group 1: Core Insights - The domestic monoammonium phosphate market is transitioning from a cost-driven price increase to a high-level consolidation under strong policy guidance, influenced by policy regulation, cost support, and demand dynamics [1][5] - Policy measures include a combination of export control, supply stabilization, and raw material adjustment, aimed at stabilizing market fluctuations and preventing drastic price changes [1][5] - The export suspension policy effectively locks domestic resources, alleviating supply pressure before the spring plowing season, while mandatory operational rates ensure stable market circulation [1][5] Group 2: Cost Factors - There is still support from the cost side, but different raw material trends have shown divergence, with overall stability and slight easing [2][6] - Phosphate rock companies have ample orders, but regional supply constraints are prominent, particularly in Guizhou and Hubei, leading to tight overall supply and stable prices [7] - Sulfur prices remain high, with limited import volumes expected in January 2026, while domestic prices may see slight adjustments due to policy guidance [7] Group 3: Demand Dynamics - The demand side exhibits a "short-term weakness + medium-term support" characteristic, with the focus of negotiations on procurement timing and price expectations [2][7] - As of December 19, the compound fertilizer industry's capacity utilization has dropped to 37.75%, the lowest in five years, with many companies having sufficient inventory for short-term production needs [8] - The observed demand weakness is not indicative of a complete demand shrinkage but rather a postponement based on policy and price expectations, suggesting potential recovery as the spring planting season approaches [8] Group 4: Market Outlook - In the short term, the monoammonium phosphate market is expected to maintain a fluctuating consolidation pattern, with policy price constraints and rigid cost support creating a balance [4][9] - Future market direction will depend on three core variables: raw material price trends, demand release timing, and the effectiveness of policy implementation [4][9] - Downstream compound fertilizer companies may continue to adopt a just-in-time purchasing model to avoid high inventory costs, while raw material price fluctuations could impact market sentiment [9]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The probability of an increase in urea production is relatively high in the short - term, considering potential device recoveries and possible short - term enterprise malfunctions. The current agricultural season is in a period of low demand, but there may be a slight increase in local agricultural reserves in Jiangsu and Anhui. Commercial reserve demand may slow down due to price constraints. The short - term enterprise device operating rate may fluctuate slightly, and attention should be paid to weather and local environmental protection conditions. Recently, driven by market sentiment, urea factory orders have been progressing steadily, and factory shipments have improved. Domestic urea enterprise inventories have continued to decline. With the end of environmental protection warnings, urea production is expected to rebound, and inventories may increase. The UR2605 contract is expected to fluctuate in the range of 1730 - 1760 yuan/ton in the short term [2]. Summary by Directory Futures Market - The closing price of the Zhengzhou urea main contract is 1743 yuan/ton, with a week - on - week increase of 8 yuan/ton; the 5 - 9 spread is 38 yuan/ton, with a week - on - week increase of 4 yuan/ton.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2025, urea prices continued to oscillate and search for a bottom, with frequent rapid rebounds. Supply remained high, and production increased year - on - year. In 2026, supply is expected to grow further, with a potential 3.5% increase in capacity and a 3.5% increase in production, or 2 - 2.5% if prices fall. Agricultural demand is expected to rise by 2.67%. Domestic industrial demand may remain weak, with a 2% decline in melamine and urea - formaldehyde resin demand. Urea export policies may continue, but the stimulus from exports is weakening. Without unexpected export demand, urea prices will slowly decline until production shows negative feedback [3][6]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 2025 Market Review - In 2025, urea prices oscillated downward. Key factors included continuous domestic capacity expansion (355 million tons in 2025, 317 million tons expected in 2026, and 600 million tons from 2027 - 2028), decent agricultural demand during peak seasons, changes in export policies, and stable industrial demand [12][14]. - Quarterly events included winter gas restrictions and rising international natural gas prices in Q3, which pushed up international nitrogen fertilizer prices. There were also factors such as spring plowing demand, changes in compound fertilizer export policies, and the start of summer demand [10]. Capacity Trends - China's urea is in a capacity expansion cycle. In 2025, net new capacity was 4.18 million tons, and 2.94 million tons are expected in 2026. Future plans involve adding about 14 million tons and removing 3 - 5 million tons in the next three years, resulting in a net increase of 9 - 11 million tons [19][24]. - Some fixed - bed processes using anthracite are being phased out, with about 13.61 million tons of such capacity (18% of the total) likely to be eliminated in the next five years [24]. Production and Profitability - In 2025, gas - based urea production was unprofitable, but production was not significantly affected due to planned gas supply and export quota support. However, long - term low prices may lead to reduced production [28]. - In 2026, urea production is expected to increase by 3.6%. But due to limited room for increasing the production rate and low prices for gas - based production, the increase in production may be less than the increase in capacity. If prices fall, output growth may drop to 2.3% [34][39]. Nitrogen Fertilizer Market - Production of nitrogen - containing fertilizers has grown rapidly in recent years. In 2025, synthetic ammonia production is expected to be 34.5% higher than in 2022. Urea remains cost - effective compared to other nitrogen fertilizers, but the substitution demand has decreased [49][53]. - Ammonium chloride and ammonium sulfate markets are moving towards a more balanced supply, with supply increasing and the substitution demand for urea limited. The substitution of ammonium sulfate for urea exports may weaken [54][60][62]. - Overall nitrogen fertilizer supply has increased significantly. In 2025, the total nitrogen - containing output of nitrogen fertilizers is expected to maintain a growth rate of over 10%. However, international nitrogen fertilizer prices have weakened, and future export momentum may decline [64][66]. Demand Trends - Agricultural demand is expected to continue to grow moderately. From 2020 - 2024, grain sowing area and production increased. Policies aim to increase grain production by 100 billion jin by 2030. In 2026, agricultural and other demand is expected to rise by 2.7%, and compound fertilizer demand may increase by 1.7% [70][82][85]. - Industrial demand is related to the real - estate market and furniture exports. With weak real - estate demand and falling furniture export prices, the demand for melamine and urea - formaldehyde resin is expected to decline by 2% in 2026 [88][97]. Export Situation - Export policies are crucial. Historically, policies have changed frequently. In 2025, export policies were relaxed through quotas, and exports may reach 4.76 million tons, with a possible increase to 5 million tons in 2026. India's import demand may decrease, while non - China and India regions are expected to add 4 million tons of new capacity in 2026. Export profit remains high, and the quota system is expected to continue in 2026 [102][111][113][116]. Balance Sheet - In 2026, domestic new capacity will continue to be put into operation.
