The price has dropped near the cost line
The price has dropped near the cost lineEntering April, the domestic polycarbonate (PC) market continued to decline
Regarding the market outlook, Ge Linlin, an analyst at Jinlianchuang, analyzed that the rise in raw materials has eroded profit margins, and the sluggish demand has made it difficult for prices to rise, and the PC market is facing double-sided attacks
Sufficient supply and fierce competition
Sufficient supply and fierce competitionGe Linlin believes that the important reason for the slump in the PC market is the substantial expansion of the PC industry in the past two years
According to statistics, China's PC self-sufficiency rate has risen from 39.
At present, the operating rate of the PC industry is about 54%, and the installation load of production enterprises is low
"Affected by the epidemic, PC manufacturers' inventories have increased, and the benefits of equipment maintenance are limited
Increased costs and narrowed profits
Costs increase Profits narrow Costs increase Profits narrowSince April, the PC raw material bisphenol A market has been running strongly
According to Hua Xia, an analyst at Zhuochuang Chemical Industry, the cost of PC market has increased in the past two years
Since April this year, the price of bisphenol A has contradicted the trend of the PC market, and the profit margin of PC has continued to narrow
At present, the operating rate of the bisphenol A industry has not changed much.
Huaxia said that from the perspective of the market outlook, the import or local circulation of bisphenol A is still limited
sluggish demand
Low demand, weak support, weak demand, weak supportAt present, due to the impact of the epidemic, the start-up of downstream terminal factories in East China and South China and the logistics and transportation are still limited to a certain extent
Xiang Feifei, an analyst at Longzhong Information, said that from the perspective of demand, under the continuous influence of the epidemic, new orders for downstream terminal factories are limited, the operating rate has dropped, and factories in some areas have entered a state of shutdown
In terms of terminal demand, automobile production and sales in March reached 2.
From the perspective of the automobile supply side, the shortage of chips has not been significantly alleviated, and the price of raw materials for power batteries has risen rapidly, which has further pushed up the manufacturing costs of enterprises
On the other hand, the other downstream modification and sheet metal industries remained stable, and the operating rate of injection molding and bucket industries increased
"From the perspective of the market outlook, affected by rising costs and flat demand, PC prices will fluctuate around the cost line, with limited room for decline
