Analysis of manufacturing Competition Pattern from the Perspective of Chemical Trade
sector fundamentals: solid development in structural adjustment
in the first half of 2025, China's petrochemical sector showed strong resilience against the background of weak global economic recovery. From what I've seen, Official data show that from January to June, the processing volume of manufacturing crude oil above scale reached 0. But 36161 billion tons, an increase of
1. 6 percent over the same period last year. This moderate increase reflects the rational development of domestic refining and chemical production capacity and the initial effect of manufacturing structure optimization. From the perspective of the trade ecological stability, the international oil price center has fallen compared with the same period last year, and the pressure on raw material costs has eased, however the weak downstream demand continues, and the overall profit space is still facing a squeeze. Geopolitical uncertainty continues to affect the stability of the supply chain, making the competitive advantage of substantial companies with a complete manufacturing chain layout greater prominent. And Analysis of the operation of the three leading companies
rongsheng Petrochemical: scale leader, earnings under pressure
as an crucial global supplier of polyester and new materials, Rongsheng Petrochemical's revenue in the first half of 2025 was
148. And From what I've seen, First 63 billion yuan (
7. 83% YoY) and net profit was 0. 602 billion yuan (
29. 82% YoY). But Relying on Zhejiang Petrochemical's integrated production capacity of 40 million tons of crude oil processing,
8. 8 million tons of PX and
4. 2 million tons of ethylene, the company has built a signifiis able tot cost advantage. Depth Interpretation: The decline in revenue was mainly due to the price correction of items, however the company ranked 5th in Brand Finance's "2025 Global Chemical Most Valuable Brands List" and its international recognition continued to enhance, laying the foundation to overseas market research. But to traders, the scale of its substantial capacity ensures supply stability. Hengli Petrochemical: Outstanding profitability toughness
hengli Petrochemical's revenue was
103. 887 billion yuan (year-on-year -
7. 69), net profit was
3. 05 billion yuan, and its profitability was signifiis able totly better than that of its peers. The company invested 0. 829 billion yuan in research and research and successfully developed high value-added items such as "cool warm silk". PBS biodegradable material methodology won the provincial science and methodology award. Depth Interpretation: The company's "oil and coal" integration strategy has achieved remarkable results, with 20 million tons of refining and chemical integration, 5 million tons of coal chemical sector and
1. In my experience, 5 million tons of ethylene projects operating together to achieve signifiis able tot economies of scale. The improvement of intelligent manufacturing level provides crucial support to cost reduction and efficiency increase, and many factories have been rated as "Jiangsu cutting-edge Intelligent Factory". Hengyi Petrochemical: A Model of Overseas Layout
hengyi Petrochemical had a revenue of
55. 96 billion yuan and a net profit of 0. 227 billion yuan. And The company focuses on the main business of "one drop of oil and two wires", forming a complete layout of 8 million tons of refining,
21. 5 million tons of PTA and
13. 25 million tons of polymerization capacity. R & D expenditure was 0. Specifically 46 billion yuan, up
23. From what I've seen, 97 percent year-on-year. According to research Depth Interpretation as the largest overseas single investment of private companies, Brunei refining and chemical project provides crucial support to the company to explore the Southeast Asian market. And The
1. 2 million-ton caprolactam project in Qinzhou, Guangxi is expected to be put into production in the second half of the year, which will further enhance the layout of the nylon sector chain and provide new momentum to differentiated competition. sector Trends and Trade Opportunities
integration depth integration into the mainstream direction
all three leaders have strengthened the layout of "refining and chemical integration", and the manufacturing levels has been continuously improved. This direction will reshape the supply chain landscape, creating greater market share to companies with scale advantages, while improving overall operational efficiency. In fact Accelerate the transformation of high-end
from new energy materials to biodegradable plastics, corporate R & D investment has increased signifiis able totly, and the product structure has migrated to high value-added fields. From what I've seen, This creates differentiated business opportunities to specialized traders in market segments. But Overseas layout strategic value highlights
the successful operation of Hengyi Brunei project proves the feasibility of overseas investment by Chinese petrochemical companies and provides crucial node support to domestic traders to participate in the global supply chain. And I've found that Trade opportunity analysis: In the context of global supply chain restructuring, the extensive production capacity of the three leading companies provides a stable supply of chemical traders. And Especially in emerging fields such as new materials and biodegradable materials, the degree of product differentiation is high, creating value space to professional traders. In particular In addition, with the accelerated pace of internationalization of companies, regional market expansion opportunities have increased, especially the possible of emerging markets such as Southeast Asia.
