According to the statistics of Zhuochuang Information, the difference between supply and demand in BOPET market increased by 30,000 tons at 150,000 tons in July compared with June, decreased to 140,000 tons in August and 110,000 tons in September. In the third quarter, the difference between supply and demand increased first and then decreased in the third quarter, and the contradiction between supply and demand was slightly alleviated after increasing.
In 2022, the new BOPET market is concentrated in the first half of the year. In the early third quarter, the new production line has been fully mass-produced and some new production have been put into production, resulting in higher production than the same period last year. However, due to the serious compression of market profits, the spontaneous shutdown of production cuts in September increased, and the output decreased significantly compared with July to August, but it was still higher than the same period last year. Overall monthly production in the third quarter decreased from around 310,000 tons to around 280,000 tons, a total decrease of 30,000 tons. With BOPET ordinary film order days reflect demand changes, July orders in 6.5 days, at the low point of the year, in August the market rose by raw materials and “gold nine” atmosphere, demand has improved, order days also gradually increased to 12.5 days, a total of 6 days extended, but significantly lower than the level of the same period last year. In July, the supply was high, but the demand was the weakest in the year, the contradiction between supply and demand increased, and the price decline deepened; from August to September, the output affected by spontaneous shutdown decreased, the demand recovered, the contradiction between supply and demand was eased slightly, and the price rebounded partially, but due to the contradiction between supply and demand is still serious, and the rebound was limited. According to the statistics of Zhuochuang Information, taking the PET printing film 12 μ in East China as an example, the profit level in the third quarter is gradually compressed. In July, the market could still maintain the profit and loss cost line, but after the rapid price decline in July, the profit in August was compressed to around negative 300 yuan / ton, and in September, the profit was compressed again, maintaining around negative 600 yuan / ton for most of the time. In the third quarter of 2022, the highest profit was 246 yuan / ton, and the lowest profit was negative 653 yuan / ton, with a total compression of 899 yuan / ton; the average profit was negative 308 yuan / ton, compared with the average profit of 110 yuan / ton, and compressed by 418 yuan / ton. Due to profit compression, enterprises in order to maintain normal processing and production, the price rise, but due to the contradiction between supply and demand, the increase is limited.
