    2. Key Movements

    • PTFE Resin +2.5%: Tight supply of fluorite and anhydrous hydrofluoric acid pushed costs higher; producers such as Haohua Chem recently raised PTFE prices, and the export average price center edged up in H1. However, downstream just-in-time purchasing and new capacity releases capped the gains — a cost-push, volatile-but-firm pattern.
    • Zirconia (Special Ceramics) +10%–40%: Sinocera raised zirconia powder prices effective July 27; rising raw-material costs combined with supply contraction created a global gap, making it the clearest upward mover.
    • Carbon Fiber +1.0%: Toray and Jilin Chemical Fiber announced hikes at the start of the year (Toray 10%–20%), confirming a price bottom; but high industry inventory limits the rebound — overall bottoming and stabilizing.
    • PEEK Resin +1.5%: Demand from humanoid robots, new energy, medical and aerospace continues to expand; domestic substitution is pressuring mid/low-end prices while the high end stays firm.
    • PI Film +1.0%: Structural demand from 5G, flexible displays and new-energy vehicles is rising, with tight supply of high-end electronic grades.

    3. Impact Analysis

    • Procurement cost: PTFE and zirconia cost increases pass through directly to seals, anti-corrosion linings and structural ceramic parts; related material budgets should be raised by 5%–10%.
    • Supply chain: Fluorochemical and zirconia supply is tightening, with risk of longer lead times; carbon fiber and PEEK supply is ample, leaving more negotiating room.

    4. Action Recommendations

    • Lock prices now: PTFE resin and zirconia powder (clear upward trend — sign long-term contracts or lock orders early).
    • Hold and watch: Carbon fiber (high inventory, weak rebound — wait for a better entry); PEEK (substitution-driven price pressure — stagger purchases to average cost).

    Special Ceramics China >¥100.5B in 2023; global CAGR 10.17% Medium-High Medium ↑ Semi / New Energy

    3. Material-by-Material Insights

    1. PTFE — Legacy Pressure, Premium Breakout

    Commodity PTFE faces overcapacity and price wars amid weak real-estate demand, yet high-purity electronic/semiconductor-grade PTFE sheet and film are in strong demand from 5G, EV, and aerospace. Tightening global PFAS regulation accelerates R&D into PFAS-free coatings and closed-loop recycling. Demand mix: petrochemical 33%, machinery 24%, electronics 12%. Content should target “electronic-grade PTFE selection” and “semiconductor lining applications”.

    2. PEEK — High Growth, New Scenarios

    Global CAGR exceeds 8.3% with custom parts surpassing 35% of volume. Traditional segments (aerospace, medical implants, automotive) stay steady, while 2026 adds four new drivers: low-altitude economy, drones, humanoid robots, and precision machinery. Medical demand grows on biocompatibility and aging populations. High barriers and localization headroom favor in-depth technical content.

    3. Carbon Fiber — Booming, Certification is King

    ~$8B global demand in 2026 at 10.8% CAGR; chopped fiber CAGR hits 11.1%. Aerospace is the largest market (~45%); C919/C929 and commercial space (CAGR>30%) drive T800/T1000 demand, while Type-IV hydrogen tanks (fiber = 60% of cost) are the second growth engine. Localization accelerates but high-end certification is long-cycle — content must stress certification, process, and cost.

    4. Aerogel — Ignited by EV Batteries

    ~$1.9B global in 2026, 9.5% CAGR; optimistic China forecast ¥12.6-16.1B by 2025 (41% CAGR). Dubbed “one of the world’s top ten super-materials”, aerogel thermal-runaway protection is already adopted at scale by CATL, FinDreams, CALB and others. Multi-component aerogels are the R&D hotspot. Content opportunities: “battery insulation sheet selection” and “energy-storage thermal management”.

    5. Electronic Chemicals — Spillover from Semiconductor Boom

    ~¥448B market in 2026; global semiconductors may reach $880B in 2026 with foundry output >$230B. Advanced nodes move toward 2nm, with GAA, Chiplet, and SiC/GaN wide-bandgap semiconductors accelerating. Wet electronic chemicals and high-purity reagents’ localization is the core theme — dominated by global majors, with fierce but high-intent domestic competition.

    6. Special Ceramics — Dual Engines of Semiconductor & New Energy

    China’s market exceeded ¥100.5B in 2023; global CAGR 10.17%. Boron carbide and silicon carbide segments exceed 40% share, used in semiconductor etch/clean/CMP equipment, Li-ion slurry grinding, photovoltaics, and aerospace. Low-end is fragmented; high-end (Si3N4, SiC, ZTA) is breaking through. Content focus: “semiconductor ceramic parts” and “SiC etch components”.

    Price Overview

    Material Current Price Range WoW Change Trend
    PTFE Resin (suspension medium granule, Shandong) RMB 31,800/t; dispersion resin approx. RMB 40,000–45,500/t Flat (benchmark quote) Volatile with upward bias ↗
    PEEK Resin (domestic virgin resin) RMB 300,000–400,000/t (imported: RMB 550,000–1,000,000/t) Flat Stable to slightly weak →
    Carbon Fiber (T300-12K, reference) RMB 90,000–100,000/t; large tow 48/50K approx. RMB 70,000–80,000/t Flat Bottoming out and rising ↗
    PI Film (electronic grade) RMB 200–500/kg (standard insulation grade: RMB 180–255/kg) +1% to +2% Confirmed uptrend ↑
    Specialty Ceramic Raw Material (alumina benchmark) RMB 2,700–2,800/t -1% Weak and declining ↘

    Key Movements

    1. PTFE: Spot Prices Hold, but the Cost Side Has Already Ignited

    The Shandong suspension medium-granule benchmark quote stood at RMB 31,800/t (Aug 13), flat week-on-week. But this stability is an illusion — the transaction average during Aug 6–10 reached RMB 38,650/t, with a monthly peak quote of RMB 45,500/t, implying a 43% intra-month high-low spread. The real signal is upstream: high-purity anhydrous hydrofluoric acid has climbed to RMB 16,000–16,500/t, up nearly 40% from under RMB 12,000/t at the start of the year; semiconductor-grade HF is up 20%–30%. Three drivers are stacking up — a sulfuric acid price surge (early-April average of RMB 1,633/t, +49.8% vs. early March and +160.5% YoY; mainstream 93%/98% acid quoted at RMB 1,700/t in Shandong in August), persistently tight fluorspar supply, and Korean semiconductor makers increasing anhydrous HF procurement from China. Haohua Technology confirmed in early August that its PTFE production-to-sales ratio remains high and that selling prices have been raised on rising costs. Conclusion: PTFE is highly likely to follow with a 5%–10% increase by the end of Q3.

    2. PI Film: The Highest-Conviction Price Increase of This Cycle

    Global supply and demand for electronic-grade PI film is severely imbalanced. Explosive AI server and HBM demand, combined with the absence of capacity expansion plans among overseas majors, has led the industry to expect the upcycle to extend through 2028. Thermal-control PI film (the feedstock for high thermal conductivity graphite film) has become the mainstream solution for AI server heat dissipation, with domestic producers such as Ruihuatai running at full capacity. Low-CTE PI for low-dielectric FCCL is equally tight, and Fanya Microtransmission plans to take control of Tianjin Tianyuan to enter the high-end domestic substitution market. This is not short-term volatility — it is a structural gap.

    3. Carbon Fiber: The Price Bottom Has Confirmed a Reversal

    Effective January 2026, Toray raised prices on TORAYCA carbon fiber and intermediate products including prepreg and fabrics by 10%–20%. Jilin Chemical Fibre simultaneously raised wet-spun 12TK by RMB 5,000/t and 3K by RMB 10,000/t. China’s actual consumption reached 96,446 tonnes in 2025, up 71.89% YoY, with growth concentrated in wind turbine blades and aerospace. The critical distinction: upstream acrylonitrile sits at just RMB 6,900/t (Aug 4), a low level with no cost pressure whatsoever — this round of increases is driven by demand expansion and the restoration of pricing power, making it materially more sustainable than the cost-push hikes of 2023–2024.

    4. PEEK and Ceramic Raw Materials: No Basis for Price Increases

    Domestic PEEK is priced at RMB 300,000–400,000/t, only one-third to one-half of imported material. Zhongyan Co. is investing RMB 1.2 billion in an integrated 10,000-tonne project (bringing total capacity to 11,000 tonnes at full ramp), and DFBP (fluoroketone) localization is driving costs down. Supply is being released faster than demand materializes, leaving prices stable to slightly weak. Metallurgical-grade alumina spot averaged RMB 2,706/t (July 31), already below the industry average full-cost line; oversupply and high warrant inventories remain unresolved, with prices expected to trade in a low range of RMB 2,600–2,800/t. The ceramic raw material cost base is broadly loose.

    Macro Reference

    Brent crude traded at USD 80–82/bbl in early August. Citing continued shipping restrictions through the Strait of Hormuz, the EIA raised its 2026 Brent average forecast from USD 82 to USD 87/bbl, with Q3 averaging around USD 85/bbl. This creates moderate cost pressure on petrochemical base materials, but is not the dominant variable at present.

    Impact Analysis

    Impact on Procurement Costs

    Fluoropolymers represent the largest risk exposure. If HF holds above RMB 16,000/t, a broad-based increase across PTFE, PVDF and other fluoropolymers by end-Q3 is highly probable. Electronic-grade PI film has already entered a seller’s market, with negotiating room approaching zero and lead times lengthening. Conversely, PEEK and ceramic raw materials offer buyers a rare negotiating window — one of the few genuine cost-reduction opportunities of the year.

    Impact on Supply Chain

    For PI film and semiconductor-grade HF, the bottleneck is not price but allocation and capacity lock-in. Procurement logic must shift from “price comparison” to “capacity reservation.” Carbon fiber is rising in price, but domestic capacity is ample (China accounted for nearly half of global operating capacity in 2025), so supply security is high and panic stockpiling is unnecessary.

    Action Recommendations

    Lock In Prices

    • Electronic-grade PI film: Sign a 12-month long-term agreement with volume commitments immediately. The upcycle runs to 2028 — the later you act, the more you pay, and high-end grades may become unavailable at any price.
    • PTFE: With the benchmark still at RMB 31,800/t, lock in full Q4 volume. Upward cost movement is confirmed; waiting for a formal price announcement will be too late.
    • Semiconductor-grade HF: Prioritize supply rights over price. Sign framework agreements with guaranteed-supply clauses.

    Hold and Observe

    • PEEK: The expansion wave has not yet landed, so Q4 negotiating room will be greater. Switch to monthly rolling procurement and avoid long-term agreements — preserve the downside for yourself.
    • Specialty ceramic raw materials (alumina series): Spot is oversupplied and futures have broken below the cost line. Maintain low inventory and buy as needed, awaiting a confirmed spot bottom.

    Neutral

    • Carbon fiber: Purchase large tow as needed; lock in T700 and above small tow in advance. Advance domestic substitution validation for high-end grades in parallel to avoid dependence on a single import source during an upcycle.
