Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recently released "Work Plan for Stable Growth in the Petrochemical Industry (2025-2026)" aimed at addressing challenges such as intensified competition in the organic raw materials market, insufficient supply of high-end fine chemicals, slowing domestic demand growth, and increasing external uncertainties. The plan targets an average annual growth of over 5% in the industry's added value from 2025 to 2026, focusing on innovation, efficiency, demand expansion, optimization of carriers, and promoting cooperation [3]. Group 1: Industry Challenges and Responses - The petrochemical industry faces intensified competition, insufficient supply of high-end chemicals, and a slowdown in domestic demand growth, prompting the need for a comprehensive growth plan [3]. - The plan includes ten key tasks focusing on innovation, efficiency, demand expansion, optimization of carriers, and cooperation to enhance the industry's competitiveness [3]. - The elimination of outdated production capacity is expected to optimize supply-side dynamics and improve overall competitiveness in the petrochemical sector [3]. Group 2: Refining Capacity and Market Dynamics - As of 2024, China's refining capacity reached 955 million tons per year, with a target to keep crude oil processing capacity under 1 billion tons by 2025 [4]. - The industry is undergoing a market reshuffle, with facilities below 2 million tons per year being phased out, and new integrated refining projects coming online, such as the 20 million tons per year project by Yulong Petrochemical [5]. - The capacity utilization rate in the chemical manufacturing sector has declined from 80% in Q2 2021 to 72% in the same period this year, indicating a significant oversupply in the market [5]. Group 3: Profitability and Strategic Focus - The petrochemical industry has experienced a decline in profitability, with major private refining companies reporting a nearly 40% drop in net profits in the first half of the year [6]. - The plan emphasizes "controlling increments" and suggests focusing on high-value-added sectors to enhance supply in high-end markets, particularly in integrated circuits, new energy, and medical equipment [6]. - Companies that have already positioned themselves in high-value sectors, such as renewable energy materials, are expected to benefit from the market dynamics, with firms like Dongfang Shenghong seeing profit growth due to their investments in solar-grade EVA products [7].

Group 1 - The petrochemical industry is facing challenges such as intensified competition in the basic organic raw materials market, insufficient supply of high-end fine chemicals, slowing domestic demand growth, and increasing external uncertainties. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and six other departments have released a growth stabilization plan for the petrochemical industry for 2025-2026, aiming for an average annual growth of over 5% in added value [1] - The plan emphasizes the need to strictly control new refining capacity and rationally determine the scale and pace of new ethylene and paraxylene capacity, while preventing overcapacity risks in the coal-to-methanol industry. It supports the transformation of old petrochemical facilities and the industrialization of new technologies [1][3] - The industry is undergoing a market reshuffle, with refining capacities below 2 million tons/year being phased out. Major projects such as the 20 million tons/year integrated refining and chemical project by Yulong Petrochemical and the 6 million tons/year expansion project by Daxie Petrochemical are coming online, further accelerating the market reshuffle [3] Group 2 - The chemical industry is experiencing severe homogenization issues, with a significant increase in production capacity leading to limited profit margins. The capacity utilization rate in the chemical raw materials and chemical manufacturing sector has declined from 80% in Q2 2021 to 72% in the same period this year [5] - The petrochemical industry has seen a rapid development over the past decade, with new integrated refining and chemical facilities being continuously put into operation. However, this has led to "involution" competition, where production increases do not translate into profit growth. Major petrochemical products have seen capacity and output increases of over 50% in the past five years, resulting in declining profitability for companies [5] - The growth stabilization plan suggests focusing on high value-added areas to enhance high-end supply, targeting key industries such as integrated circuits, new energy, and medical equipment. Companies with early layouts in high value-added fields are expected to benefit [6]
