## 3. Impact Factor Analysis
### 1. Crude Oil Price Impact
– **Current Prices:** WTI ~74-77 USD/barrel, Brent ~77-81 USD/barrel
– **Recent Trend:** Mid-June oil prices fell significantly; WTI dropped from 84.88 USD/barrel to 74.03 USD/barrel, Brent from 87.33 USD/barrel to 77.66 USD/barrel
– **Impact on New Materials:** Oil price decline provides some cost relief for PTFE and other fluororesins, but demand pull from electronic-grade products is stronger, keeping prices relatively stable
### 2. Supply-Side Factors
– **Zircon Sand Supply Tightness:** Global zirconium resources concentrated, declining ore grades, long new capacity investment cycles
– **Carbon Fiber Capacity Release:** Domestic carbon fiber capacity continuously expanding, oversupply situation intensifying
– **PTFE Low Inventory:** Plants operating at moderate rates, low inventory providing price support
### 3. Demand-Side Factors
– **AI Computing Infrastructure:** Driving demand for high-frequency and high-speed materials like PTFE and PI film
– **New Energy Vehicles:** Driving demand for lightweight materials like carbon fiber, PI film, and PEEK
– **Semiconductor Packaging:** Driving demand for high-end materials like electronic-grade PI film and high-purity zirconium dioxide
– **Humanoid Robots:** Becoming an important new growth driver for PEEK materials

## 5. Impact on Supply Chain
1. **Zirconium Industry Chain:** Domestic companies with complete industry chain layout and mastery of high-end powder mass production processes become core beneficiaries; industry structure facing restructuring opportunities. Downstream customers, considering supply chain security, are beginning to establish dual-supplier systems, accelerating domestic substitution.
2. **Carbon Fiber Industry Chain:** Oversupply leading to intensified price competition; small and medium enterprises facing elimination pressure; industry concentration expected to increase. Domestic companies’ technological breakthroughs (T1000-grade, T1200-grade) will gradually replace imports.
3. **PTFE Industry Chain:** Electronic-grade PTFE demand growing rapidly; traditional application fields stable; industry chain overall healthy.
4. **PI Film Industry Chain:** High-end electronic-grade products in short supply; companies with technological strength expected to gain higher market share.
