Helpless to upgrade! Discontinued, out of stock continues to be in progress

The Golden Nine and Silver Ten are about to pass. In previous years, this was supposed to be the "carnival season" of the entire industry chain, but unexpectedly it turned into a carnival alone for some manufacturers. With dual controls and dual limits, due to many factors such as parking for maintenance and outages, some raw materials have continued to skyrocket, causing the gap between supply and demand to become more severe. In such a severe situation, leading domestic and foreign companies took the lead in issuing price increase notices, once again stimulating the market to rise!

In order to support the development of small, medium and micro manufacturing enterprises and promote the stable operation of the industrial economy, the Ministry of Finance of the State Administration of Taxation has delayed the payment of certain taxes and fees in the fourth quarter of 2021 for small, medium and micro manufacturing enterprises (including sole proprietorships, partnerships, and individual industrial and commercial households). The matters will be implemented on November 1, 2021.

On October 27th, the National Development and Reform Commission launched a "three arrows" to strengthen the coal supply policy! We will implement the task of ensuring coal supply, help the coal market price return rationally, and ensure that the people will survive the winter warmly. Affected by the “dual control” policy of energy consumption and insufficient coal supply, more than 20 provinces and cities across the country have successively issued power curtailment policies to implement orderly power management for high-energy-consuming enterprises, and high-energy-consuming enterprises stagger the morning peak and evening Production during peak hours. According to different wheel stop levels, it corresponds to open five stop two, open four stop three, open three stop four, etc.

Encourage pollutant emission units to strengthen management, actively reduce emissions, and improve the efficiency of pollution control facilities on the basis of emission standards. Industrial enterprises adopt independent emission reduction measures or stop production during early warning. The performance of enterprises with uninterrupted transportation processes and other industries is evaluated as A and leading Sexual enterprises, as well as ports, logistics and transportation enterprises are prohibited from heavy diesel trucks all day long.

The company has no choice but to stop production, the longest can even be as long as half a year

The global energy crisis is obvious. Many countries and regions have initiated large-scale power outages due to insufficient power. Among them, many companies have started to stop due to power supply suspension, maintenance and other factors. The longest stop is half a year! Recently, many chemical companies at home and abroad are also in a difficult situation. Some or all of their production facilities have been shut down for different periods of time, involving tens of thousands of tons of production capacity. Faced with the risk of production suspension due to the inability to withstand rising energy prices at any time, all users are requested to make preparations for the suspension of production and production in advance, and users are expected to know.

Raw materials have risen across the board! Out of stock continues to upgrade

Due to many factors, the supply and demand pattern of the chemical industry is unbalanced, and the prices of various chemical raw materials continue to rise. Among them: filler products such as barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, etc. will rise by 700-1000 CNY/ton; titanium dioxide will be raised by 1000-1200 CNY/ton; pigments will be raised by 600-1000 CNY/ton; the highest single-time rise of emulsions will be 1000 CNY/ton. Ton, a single discussion will be implemented; the highest single-time increase for coatings is 4,000 CNY/ton.

Intensified power shortages in winter, superimposed on power shortages and shutdowns of major factories, the energy crisis has radiated to the chemical industry. Now that the domestic market is under high-level and multi-party control, the prices of some raw materials have gradually fallen, but they cannot stop some domestic and foreign companies from taking the opportunity to increase prices. DIC pigments will increase the price of phthalocyanine pigments from November 1st, with an increase of 80-400 yen/kg (approximately 4480-22400 CNY/ton). LANXESS imposes an energy surcharge on its inorganic pigment business globally, among which the prices of iron oxide and chromium oxide pigments will be increased by at least 300 Euro/ton (approximately 2300 CNY/ton).

Now the peak season of "Silver Ten" is about to pass, but this repeated market is really hard to see. In the end, it is the middle and downstream enterprises that are "injured"...In short, you should prepare carefully.
