The caprolactone industry is gradually moving toward a rational, healthy, and sustainable development trajectory.

The caprolactone industry is gradually moving toward a rational, healthy, and sustainable development trajectory. 1. Overview of the caprolactone industry Caprolactone can be copolymerized or self-polymerized with various basic chemical raw materials to produce advanced chemical materials with superior performance. Caprolactone derivatives are high-performance, novel chemical raw materials and functional materials, primarily used in manufacturing polyurethanes, hyperdispersants, UV-curable coatings, radiotherapy positioning membranes, orthopedic rehabilitation boards, and biodegradable materials. Production of caprolactone and its derivatives involves high technical barriers, and only a few enterprises worldwide have achieved large-scale production. Globally, the major large-scale caprolactone producers are JuRen New Materials, Innovec (USA), Daicel (Japan), and BASF (Germany). Global caprolactone production technology achieved breakthroughs in the 1960s, enabling industrial-scale production. Starting in the 21st century, overseas companies expanded production lines and consolidated businesses through technological upgrades, plant expansions and renovations, and mergers & acquisitions—ultimately consolidating into three major global producers: Innovec (USA), Daicel (Japan), and BASF (Germany), achieving both technological and market dominance. Research on caprolactone production processes in China began in the 1970s; however, industrialization progressed slowly due to constraints such as engineering technology and equipment limitations. In the 21st century, with the rapid development of China’s new chemical materials industry, caprolactone industrialization accelerated. Numerous domestic enterprises and research teams successively conducted laboratory-scale and pilot-scale technology studies, gradually achieving large-scale production. 2. Development trends in the caprolactone industry Caprolactone系列产品 belong to advanced chemical materials. Downstream applications include polyurethanes, medical panels, UV-curable coatings, biodegradable products, and hyperdispersants—featuring diverse product types and broad application scenarios. These emerging fields—including industrial upgrading, novel materials, new-energy vehicles, biodegradability, and biomedical applications—are highly aligned with national development policies.

Yingjie Electric—the leading Chinese photovoltaic power supply company.

Leading Chinese photovoltaic (PV) power supply company; platform-based strategy extending into semiconductor and EV charging infrastructure sectors; leading domestic mid-to-high-end industrial power supply company. Platform-oriented layout across PV, broader semiconductor, and EV charging infrastructure sectors. Founded in 1996 and listed on ChiNext in 2020, the company is a leading domestic mid-to-high-end industrial power supply enterprise. Leveraging deep expertise in core industrial power supply technologies, the company has expanded horizontally across multiple downstream sectors—including photovoltaics (polysilicon, silicon wafers, solar cells) and broader semiconductor applications (semiconductors, sapphire, silicon carbide). Simultaneously, it has entered the new-energy vehicle (NEV) charging infrastructure sector, opening up a new growth driver. Revenue breakdown by industry: Photovoltaic business: The company’s largest revenue contributor, accounting for 60% of total revenue in 2020. Core products include power supplies for key process equipment in polysilicon, silicon wafer, and solar cell manufacturing—holding a leading market position. Broader semiconductor business: Key products include the PD-series programmable DC power supplies, deployed in semiconductor, silicon carbide, sapphire, and diamond manufacturing. The company has become a stable supplier of MOCVD power supplies to Advanced Micro-Fabrication Equipment (AMEC) and is poised to expand into etching equipment power supplies. EV charging infrastructure business: Key products include the JK32/JY32 series 7 kW AC EV chargers and ZF-series DC fast chargers. The company has successfully established operations in Southwest China and signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Sichuan Road & Bridge Group, paving the way for gradual volume ramp-up. Other businesses: Stable operations in steel metallurgy, glass fiber optics, research institutes, and other sectors. Robust order backlog; strong 2022 performance expected. Performance outlook: Benefiting from the high prosperity of the PV industry, the company’s earnings are expected to sustain robust growth. 2017–2020: Revenue grew from RMB 270 million to RMB 470 million, representing a CAGR of 20%; net profit attributable to shareholders increased from RMB 70 million to RMB 110 million, representing a CAGR of 12%. In 2020, revenue declined by 5.1% year-on-year, while net profit attributable to shareholders rose by 5.8% year-on-year—mainly attributable to the impact of China’s “531” policy in 2018, resulting in order declines and delayed revenue recognition. As of Q3 2021: Benefiting from dual growth in orders and customer count, revenue reached RMB 470 million, up 66% year-on-year; net profit attributable to shareholders reached RMB 120 million, up 80.5% year-on-year—marking a record-high growth rate. 2021 Annual Earnings Forecast: Expected net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 150–180 million, representing a 45%–75% year-on-year increase; non-recurring net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 140–170 million, representing a 44.9%–74.3% year-on-year increase. Revenue structure (by industry): Core downstream coverage—“PV + semiconductor” power supply markets. PV power supply (60% share): Benefiting from the high prosperity of the PV industry, PV-related revenue share continued rising—reaching RMB 250 million in 2020, up 12% year-on-year; gross margin stood at 35.6%, down 2.91 percentage points year-on-year. Semiconductor and other electronic materials power supply (10% share): Main products are the PD-series programmable DC power supplies, used in MOCVD equipment for LED epitaxial wafer production.
