    Price Overview Table

    Material Current Price Range Week-over-Week Trend ———- ——————- —————- ——- PTFE Resin 31,800-45,000 CNY/ton -2.9% Declining PEEK Resin 285-750 CNY/kg Stable Stable Carbon Fiber (Large-tow) Gradual decline – Declining Carbon Fiber (Small-tow T700+) 257,300 USD/ton Strong Rising PI Film 200-1,499 CNY/kg Stable Stable Specialty Ceramic Raw Materials Continuous increase + Rising

    Key Changes

    1. PTFE Resin: -2.9% (Reason Analysis)

    Change Details:
    On May 25, Shandong Luxi Chemical quoted 34,000 CNY/ton for PTFE, down 1,000 CNY/ton from May 24. Multiple manufacturers quote in the range of 31,800-45,000 CNY/ton.

    Reason Analysis:

    • Short-term supply increase; leading manufacturers like Luxi Chemical and Dongyue Shenzhou lowered quotes
    • Downstream demand growth below expectation; cautious procurement sentiment
    • Crude oil price volatility impacts cost structure of fluorochemical industry chain

      2. Carbon Fiber (Large-tow): Gradual Price Decline

      Change Details:

    • Jinggong Technology’s research indicates large-tow carbon fiber prices are gradually declining, with limited impact on equipment gross margins.

      Reason Analysis:

    • Large-tow carbon fiber capacity continues to release; supply-demand dynamics turning looser
    • Price competition intensifies in bulk applications (wind power, automotive) with high cost sensitivity
    • Small-tow T700+ demand remains strong; production insufficient to meet market demand, creating structural divergence

      3. Specialty Ceramic Raw Materials: Continuous Price Increase

      Change Details:

    • Raw material prices for high-end industrial ceramics (aluminum nitride, zirconia, silicon carbide) continue to rise, with procurement costs increasing year by year.

      Reason Analysis:

    • High-purity alumina, aluminum nitride and other high-end raw materials have concentrated production; suppliers have strong bargaining power
    • Demand from high-end applications (semiconductors, aerospace) growing rapidly
    • High processing loss rate; raw material utilization rate becomes key profit variable

      Impact Analysis

      Impact on Procurement Costs

      1. PTFE Resin Price Decline: Short-term benefit for downstream procurement. Monitor quotes from leading manufacturers (Luxi Chemical, Dongyue Shenzhou) and seize opportunistic low points to lock June procurement plans.

      2. Carbon Fiber Structural Divergence: Large-tow prices declining; small-tow T700+ prices firm. Recommend prioritizing large-tow for bulk applications (wind power, automotive light-weighting); lock small-tow supply in advance for aerospace and high-end equipment applications.

      3. Specialty Ceramic Raw Materials Continuous Rise: Cost pressure from aluminum nitride and zirconia continues. Recommend signing long-term agreements with core suppliers to lock full-year volume.

      Impact on Supply Chain

      1. PTFE Industry Chain: Price decline may accelerate industry consolidation; small-to-mid capacity faces cost pressure. Assess supplier financial stability.

      2. Carbon Fiber Industry Chain: Large-tow price decline promotes downstream application penetration (wind power, automotive light-weighting); high margins of small-tow attract capacity investment; supply tightness expected to ease in 2027.

      3. PI Film: Japan’s Unitika raised packaging film prices due to crude oil price increases; domestic PI film manufacturers may follow. Monitor cost transmission from crude oil → nylon → PI industry chain.

      Action Recommendations

      Materials Recommended to Lock Prices

      Material Recommended Action Timing
    ———- ——————- ——— Specialty Ceramic Raw Materials (AlN, ZrO₂) Lock long-term contracts covering Q3-Q4 demand Immediate Carbon Fiber (Small-tow T700+) Lock Q3 volume; avoid supply tightness Early June PEEK Resin Batch procurement at lows; build safety stock Near term

    Materials Recommended to Wait-and-See

    Material Recommended Action Reason ———- ——————- ——— PTFE Resin Wait 1-2 weeks for price stabilization Declining trend not yet stabilized Carbon Fiber (Large-tow) Delay procurement; wait for further price drops Capacity continues to release; price under pressure

    Risk Warnings

    1. Crude Oil Price Volatility: Japanese packaging film prices already increased; monitor cost transmission to fluorochemical and PI industry chains.

    2. Supply Chain Disruption Risk: Insufficient small-tow carbon fiber production may affect high-end equipment delivery.

    3. Policy Risk: Environmental production restrictions, export controls, and other policy changes may cause sharp price fluctuations in specialty ceramic raw materials.

    ## Impact Analysis

    **Impact on Procurement Costs:**
    1. PI film electrical-grade continues rising — South China uniaxial +18% vs. Jan, biaxial +47%, increasing cost pressure on motor/cable downstream
    2. Carbon fiber recovery signal clear — T700 12K rebounded from bottom 48-52 to 90-120 CNY/kg; carbon fiber composite costs may face new upward cycle
    3. PEEK Evonik quote shift (500-600 → 880-980 CNY/kg) — if confirmed as systematic repricing, will push overall PEEK procurement costs higher
    4. PTFE at cyclical low — 31,800-33,000 CNY/ton is 25-30% below 2024 peaks, window for locking long-term pricing

    **Impact on Supply Chain:**
    1. PI film domestic substitution accelerating — Ruihuatai limit-up reflects optimism on domestic capacity expansion, but high-end electronic grade still heavily import-dependent (60-80%)
    2. Carbon fiber localization improving — T700 domestic capacity adequate (Zhongfu Shenying, Guangwei), T800+ still dependent on Toray and other Japanese suppliers
    3. Solid-state battery nano-zirconia demand (480K CNY/ton) growing significantly, potentially diverting traditional zirconia capacity

    ## Action Recommendations

    **Materials Recommended for Immediate Price Locking:**
    – **PI Film (Electrical-Grade)**: Uniaxial + biaxial both trending up; Kaneka transmission not yet complete. Lock Q3 long-term contracts now
    – **Carbon Fiber T700/12K**: Bottom reversal signal clear. Build positions on dips, lock H2 volume

    **Materials Recommended for As-Needed Purchasing:**
    – **PTFE Resin**: Currently at cyclical low. For annual volume >50 tons, consider 6-12 month contract pricing
    – **PEEK Resin**: Evonik anomaly needs follow-up. If systematic repricing confirmed, accelerate domestic substitution (500-600 CNY/kg) share
    – **Special Ceramic Raw Materials (ZrO2)**: Stable, ample supply. Maintain normal inventory

    **Key Watch Items:**
    – PEEK Evonik quote shift from 500-600 to 880-980 CNY/kg — confirm whether brand repositioning or supply tightening signal
    – Carbon fiber T800 domestic progress — currently 180-240 CNY/kg; if Zhongfu Shenying T800 capacity ramps, price may decline
