    High-Purity Alumina ¥95-450/kg -1%~2% ↘️ Slight Decline

    🔴 Key Changes

    Carbon Fiber: Jilin Chemical Fiber raised all specifications by ¥5,000/ton in April, driven by sustained acrylonitrile cost increases and surging low-altitude economy demand. According to Kaiyuan Securities, Q1 2026 average carbon fiber price rose 3.07% YoY. T800+ high-end grades remain in persistent tight supply-demand imbalance. Since March, sharp acrylonitrile price increases have provided strong cost-side support. Wet-process 3K carbon fiber, a core material for the low-altitude economy (UAV structural components at 70-90%, eVTOL core modules), continues to see robust demand.

    PEEK Resin: High import dependency persists. Prices slightly up to ¥980-1,500/kg due to global supply chain tightness and growing demand in aerospace/medical sectors. Major suppliers including Victrex (UK) and Solvay (US) maintain firm pricing.

    High-Purity Alumina: Spot prices peaked and pulled back in April. Metallurgical-grade alumina futures dropped over 14% from March high of ¥3,136/ton to ¥2,695/ton. High-purity grades (3N-5N) weakened in tandem. SCI99 monitoring shows increasing supply disruptions but weak demand; spot prices consolidating at low levels post-May Day holiday.

    📊 Impact Analysis

    • Procurement Costs: Sustained carbon fiber price increases create significant pressure on wind blade and low-altitude economy procurement; UAV and eVTOL manufacturers should monitor cost pass-through capabilities
    • Supply Chain: T800+ carbon fiber supply tightness is intensifying, potentially extending lead times; high-purity alumina price declines benefit ceramic substrate and sapphire manufacturers
    • PTFE/PI Film: Prices remain stable. While DIC raised epoxy resin and curing agent prices in April (up to ~¥19/kg increase), the pass-through to PTFE and PI film is limited, with manageable impact on semiconductor and flexible electronics industries

    ✅ Action Recommendations

    • Lock Prices — Carbon Fiber (T700+): Tight supply-demand plus acrylonitrile cost support suggests further upside. Recommend advance price locking for T700+ grades, securing 3-6 months of volume
    • Wait and See — High-Purity Alumina: Price in correction channel; no urgency to lock, await lower entry levels
    • Purchase as Needed — PTFE/PI Film: Current stable pricing requires no advance stocking; maintain regular procurement rhythm
    • Monitor PEEK Alternatives: With persistently high PEEK prices, evaluate domestic substitution progress and track Chinese suppliers’ pricing dynamics

    Alumina (Ceramic Grade) 2,695–2,774 CNY/ton -0.8% ↓ Under Pressure

    Key Movements

    Carbon Fiber: +3.1% — The standout this week. Jilin Chemical Fiber announced a price increase of 5,000 CNY/ton across all carbon fiber specifications in early April, driven by surging acrylonitrile feedstock prices. Kaiyuan Securities notes that T800+ high-end grades remain in tight supply-demand balance, with robust demand from wind turbine blades, aerospace, and the low-altitude economy. Q1 2026 average carbon fiber prices rose 3.07% YoY. The carbon fiber concept index gained 0.47%–0.63% this week.

    PTFE: -2.9% — Luxi Chemical lowered its PTFE quote to 34,000 CNY/ton, down 1,000 CNY/ton from the prior period. Domestic PTFE capacity expansion combined with sluggish demand continues to pressure prices. However, dispersion resin (Fuxin Hengtong at 54,000 CNY/ton) remains relatively firm, and imported brands (Daikin, Chemours) hold steady at 120–180 CNY/kg.

    PEEK: +1.3% — The PEEK concept index edged up 1.34%. Virgin resin (Victrex 450G) is quoted at 880 CNY/kg, while the 600G grade reaches 980 CNY/kg. Domestic modified PEEK trades in the 280–350 CNY/kg range with balanced supply and demand.

    PI Film: Stable — No significant price movement for electronic-grade PI film. Domestic products range from 180–475 CNY/kg, while premium imports like DuPont KAPTON exceed 2,000 CNY/kg. FPC and new energy demand supports the price floor.

    Alumina: -0.8% — Spot average price around 2,774 CNY/ton, pulling back from recent highs. The futures front-month contract dipped to 2,695 CNY/ton, down over 14% from the March peak. The alumina oversupply pattern persists, with new capacity continuing to come online as the main downward pressure.

    Impact Analysis

    Cost Side: Rising acrylonitrile prices are the core driver of carbon fiber price increases; crude oil volatility indirectly affects PTFE and PEEK cost structures; for alumina, Guinea policy uncertainty remains the biggest supply-side variable.

    Demand Side: Emerging sectors like low-altitude economy and aerospace are driving rapid demand growth for high-end carbon fiber (T800+); semiconductors and new energy continue to pull PI film and specialty ceramics demand; PTFE demand remains weak, with slower procurement in wire & cable and chemical corrosion protection.

    Supply Side: PTFE and alumina overcapacity is unlikely to reverse in the short term; high-end carbon fiber grades face supply tightness, with domestic substitution accelerating but high-end capacity still limited; PEEK domestic players like Jilin Zhongyan are expanding, but import dependency remains high.

    Actionable Recommendations

    Lock-in Prices:

    • Carbon Fiber (T700/T800) — Strong cost support + robust demand; further upside expected. Recommend locking in long-term contracts.
    • Imported PEEK Resin — Tight supply pattern; recommend advance stocking.

    Stay on the Sidelines:

    • PTFE Suspension Resin — In a downtrend; no rush to purchase, wait for bottom signals.
    • Alumina — Oversupply persists; further downside expected.

    Monitor Closely:

    • Jilin Chemical Fiber carbon fiber price increase implementation and industry follow-through
    • Acrylonitrile feedstock price trends (carbon fiber cost anchor)
    • Guinea bauxite policy changes (alumina supply side)
    • PTFE capacity recovery progress post-spring maintenance

    Silicon Nitride Powder 180,000-300,000 CNY/ton Flat → Stable

    🔥 Key Changes

    • PI Film: +20% — Kaneka (Japan) implemented a 20% global price increase effective April 16, driven by Middle East tensions disrupting Hormuz Strait shipping lanes and sharply raising crude oil and petrochemical raw material costs. The increase will cascade to downstream FPC, lithium battery separator, and aerospace insulation industries.
    • Alumina: -2% — Futures main contract has pulled back over 14% from the March 19 peak of 3,136 CNY/ton to 2,695 CNY/ton. Spot average at 2,774 CNY/ton with narrowing gains of only 0.8%, confirming a pullback trend.

    📊 Impact Analysis

    • Procurement Cost: The 20% PI film hike is the week’s biggest mover. FPC/flexible PCB manufacturers face a 100,000-400,000 CNY/ton cost increase. Alumina pullback provides modest relief for ceramic raw material buyers.
    • Supply Chain: DIC and Dow Chemical have both announced price increases, signaling systemic cost escalation across resin products. Dow is raising PE prices by 30 cents/lb in April and another 20 cents/lb in May.
    • Geopolitical Risk: Ongoing Middle East tensions continue to impact crude oil and petrochemical supply. Key intermediates for fluoropolymers (R22/R142b) and PI film (MDA/BPDA) face increasing supply uncertainty.

    💡 Action Recommendations

    • 🔴 Lock in: PI Film — Price increase is effective; domestic manufacturers may follow suit. Secure Q2-Q3 volumes ahead of further adjustments.
    • 🟡 Watch: PTFE Resin — Currently stable, but crude oil cost pressure may transmit to the fluoropolymer chain. Monitor R22/R142b prices closely.
    • 🟢 Defer: Alumina — Continued pullback expected with further downside. Non-urgent orders can be delayed.
