Summary of Conference Call on Saitex New Materials Industry Overview - The new refrigerator energy efficiency standards will be implemented on June 1, 2026, significantly raising efficiency level requirements. The previous national standard's first-level efficiency will only correspond to the fifth level under the new standards, prompting refrigerator manufacturers to adopt VIP (Vacuum Insulation Panels) to enhance volume efficiency and insulation performance. [2][4][11] Key Points and Arguments - The new standards introduce the concept of volume efficiency, directly impacting refrigerator energy consumption calculations and increasing the application of VIP panels, which are essential for high-efficiency refrigerators. Each refrigerator requires approximately 2-5 square meters of VIP material, depending on size and efficiency level. [2][6][7] - There is a significant difference in VIP panel penetration rates between domestic and international markets, with Japan and South Korea at 70%-80%, Europe and the US at 40%-50%, and China at only 20%-30%. The new standards are expected to gradually increase the average usage area of VIP panels in domestic refrigerators. [2][8] - Existing compressor and electronic control technologies have limited potential for improving energy efficiency. Saitex New Materials, as a VIP panel supplier, stands to benefit from the new energy efficiency standards, as its products can effectively support refrigerator manufacturers in meeting these standards. However, there has not yet been a large-scale production line commitment from refrigerator manufacturers to produce new models incorporating Saitex products. [2][3][17] Market Dynamics - Saitex New Materials holds a significant market share among leading refrigerator manufacturers, with some being sole suppliers, reflecting recognition of its product quality and scale advantages. However, the overall market share has not yet reached 50%. [3][18][19] - Sales and order conditions for VIP versions have remained strong in the first five months of the year, driven by energy efficiency improvements, an increase in innovative products, and national subsidy policies. [20] - The production capacity utilization rate for Saitex in the first five months of the year was nearly full, with the Anhui production base's utilization rate improving but not yet reaching headquarters levels. [21][22] Future Developments - Saitex currently operates three vacuum glass production lines, with an expected annual capacity of 500,000 pieces in the second half of the year, primarily focused on home appliances and construction materials. [23] - The company plans to expand into new areas over the next three to five years, including insulation for new energy vehicle batteries, industrial equipment, and construction materials, aiming for diversification in products and customers to promote revenue and profit growth. [24] Additional Insights - The new energy efficiency standards will not require major adjustments in refrigerator manufacturing processes, as Saitex's VIP panels are integrated into the internal structure of refrigerators, necessitating only minor procedural adjustments. [15] - The acceptance of VIP panels among mid-range refrigerator manufacturers remains low, with high-end models (priced above 5,000 yuan) being more likely to adopt VIP technology due to cost considerations.
