Domestic float glass market:
In June 2023, the domestic float glass spot market price was high before and low after, the price center of gravity moved down, and the monthly average price dropped. On the supply side, the actual effective production capacity increased slightly in the month, and the supply increased; on the demand side, the peak season gradually switched to the off-season, the high temperature and rainy weather affected the downstream demand, the purchase was mainly on demand, the production and sales rate of float glass enterprises decreased, and the inventory increased slightly compared with the end of May. The newly released production capacity in June was 4,050 tons/day, and the actual effective production capacity at the end of the month increased by 850 tons/day on a month-on-month basis; the production capacity resumed in June and the newly ignited production capacity was 2,450 tons/day, and the release of production capacity will affect the market supply in July. In July
2023, the domestic float glass market was expected to shake and adjust. On the supply side, the actual effective production capacity of float glass is expected to increase, and the supply is expected to increase on a month-on-month basis. On the demand side, the high temperature and rainy weather in July affected the downstream demand, and the demand for float glass is expected to remain supported by the purchase of rigid demand. On the macro side, the process of domestic economic recovery is slowing down, and expanding domestic demand will become the main driving force of macroeconomic policy in the second half of the year. On the demand side, real estate sales and completed area in January-May 2023 decreased by 22.6% and increased by 19.6% respectively compared with the same period last year. Real estate sales declined and completion remained strong, which supported the demand for float glass; From January to May 2023, automobile production and sales were 10.687 million and 10.617 million respectively, up 11.1% and 11.1% respectively from the same period last year, and automobile production and sales maintained a growth trend. On the supply side, the newly released production capacity in July was 2,450 tons/day, and there was no cold repair plan for the production line. The effective production capacity in July increased by 2,450 tons/day compared with the expected net increase; the planned ignition production capacity in July was 1,550 tons/day, and the release of production capacity will affect the market supply in August. The actual implementation shall be subject to the specific trend of float glass production enterprises. In terms of industry cost, in terms of soda ash, on the supply side, the new production capacity was gradually released, and the maintenance of soda ash enterprises increased in July. On the demand side, the ignition of float and photovoltaic glass production lines decreased, and the growth of demand for heavy alkali slowed down, so it is expected that the price of soda ash will run in a narrow range in July. In terms of natural gas, on the supply side, new production capacity may be released in July, and the supply is expected to increase; on the demand side, the high temperature in summer will increase the demand for downstream gas and electricity, and the price of overseas natural gas will rise sharply, so it is expected that the price of natural gas will rise in July.
