In fact, this price increase can be said to be the first round of large-scale price increases in mid-2018. For the time being, the price index of wood-based panels is greatly affected by the price increase of upstream raw materials and fluctuations in downstream market demand.
After the downturn of the previous two months, the market has now returned to the normal stage. In general, the main reason for this round of price increases is the following:
1 Upstream raw materials are rising like tigers
In the past two years, the trend of rising raw material prices has always existed. As we all know, China has banned commercial deforestation of natural forests. However, China's wood consumption is the second in the world, and timber imports rank first in the world. In addition, many countries have banned or partially banned the export of logs, resulting in a decrease in imported timber. Domestic log prices naturally show an upward trend.
Since 2018, environmental protection has increased. Under the environmental protection and strict investigation, the sporty, “one size fits all†environmental rectification has made the price of upstream raw materials have to rise and then rise.
It is reported that formaldehyde phenol has increased significantly in Guangxi, and the price of formaldehyde has fluctuated within 4 days. A template manufacturer in Langfang, Hebei Province also said that the raw materials rose fiercely, the main raw material sandwich rose by 0.5 yuan, the glue rose by 200 yuan per ton, the natural gas rose by 0.3 yuan per cubic meter, and the workers' wages were also adjusted. If the price of the building template is going up, it will not be able to go straight, and the price of the template will rise.
Not only that, it is understood that the Guangxi region has been rainy weather for nearly a month, and the raw materials are not dried, which has aggravated the rising trend of the template.
In addition, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei stoppage order is coming again, and it is necessary to stop production for 6 months! Another limited production storm hit!
A few days ago, the draft of the "Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas in the autumn and winter of 2018-2019 air pollution comprehensive management tough action plan" was released, the draft of the draft is clear, requiring all localities to clearly complete the development of the peak production plan before the end of September, the wrong The peak production plan is refined to the production line, process and equipment of the enterprise. The benchmark production capacity of the company's peak production is based on the capacity in September 2018. The heating season is limited to 6 months (October 1, 2018 to March 31, 2019).
2 The plate base is shut down due to environmental protection
Since last year, the round-robin attacks on environmental protection, environmental protection, and safety inspection have affected the normal operation of multi-plate factories.
Shandong Heze has repeatedly shut down 80% of the incomplete board factories; Linyi has dismantled thousands of scattered sheet companies in one year; Wen'an has been shut down and rectified.
On the morning of August 4, 2018, the plate town of Shuyang County, Jiangsu Province, held a meeting. All the plate companies received urgent notices. 50% of the enterprises in the plate processing area were stopped production and 50% were produced.
It is understood that the overall local production limit is more than 50%, the production stoppage starts in August and ends at the end of October for a period of three months. The local plate market has recently been eliminated due to small enterprises, and the market factors have led to a slight increase in plate prices. The shutdown will be expected to further push up the price of plates.
Recently, the reporter learned that the Shandong Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government issued the "Three-Year Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pollution Sources in Shandong Province to Promote the "Four Reductions and Four Increases" (2018-2020). The environmental supervision of the plate base is becoming more severe and backward. The production capacity has been accelerated, and a large number of small and micro-plate companies have stopped working.
In addition to the severe environmental situation, there have been frequent safety accidents since 2018, and the most stringent safety inspections in history have been carried out from the central to the local. Sichuan, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Hebei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Shandong and other provinces and cities in the country to conduct safety inspections, unannounced investigations, etc., launched a net-type safety inspection for the timber industry, and the plate enterprises stopped working and rectification became the norm.
3 Customs plus exchange rate, timber price increase is inevitable!
Recently, the US dollar exchange rate has been climbing, and the cost of logs has remained high.
The Sino-US trade war that has been going on for a long time is still pending, but according to the official website of the Ministry of Finance website on August 3, 2018, China will impose a 5% to 25% import tariff on some imported products in the United States! The Ministry of Finance's list of tariffed products for this publicity has three main categories for the timber industry: a 25% tariff, a 20% tariff, and a 5% tariff.
In the recent Sino-US trade war, China has imposed a 25% increase on US LNG import tariffs, and LNG costs have been raised to 3.1 yuan per cubic meter. The new round of price adjustment window will open at 24:00 on August 6th. The cumulative price increase of gasoline is 515 yuan/ton, which is equivalent to a price increase of 0.42 yuan for gasoline on the 92nd and 0.44 yuan for diesel. The rise in oil prices has also contributed to the rise in transportation costs!
