Core view

Before the festival, the new materials sector continued to callback and seek opportunities in the undervalued sub industries. The new materials sector continued to callback last week. In the long run, the industrial policy support has been strengthened, the downstream demand has continued to grow, the localization substitution trend remains unchanged, and the long-term expectation is still good. Generally speaking, the new material industry in 2022 should focus on three investment logics: 1) import substitution: pay attention to cost performance and market development ability; 2) Policy promotion: Based on the industrial foundation, grasp the policy rhythm; 3) Consumption upgrading: pay equal attention to technological innovation and market development ability. At present, the valuation of molecular industries in the middle of the new materials sector (carbon fiber, lithium battery, lithium electrochemical chemicals, etc.) is at a dynamic low level. It is recommended to pay attention to the performance exceeding the expected target in the short term

The wave of carbon fiber industrialization has arrived, and the industry leader welcomes the historical opportunity. With the continuous development of China's carbon fiber application market and the pull of downstream wind power / photovoltaic and other new energy fields, China's carbon fiber demand shows a rapid growth trend. According to the data of Sao carbon fiber, China's carbon fiber demand has increased from 8000 tons in 2008 to 49000 tons in 2020, with CAGR + 16.0% in 12 years, which is significantly higher than the global growth rate. The proportion of China's demand in the world is also increasing, from 22.8% in 2008 to 45.7% in 2020. With the pull of new energy demand and the technological progress of Chinese enterprises, the rapid decline of costs has led to the improvement of profitability, and the capacity expansion is expected to speed up. In the future, the carbon fiber industry will continue to reduce costs through product technology improvement and scale effect, so as to realize "price" for "demand". Therefore, leading enterprises will benefit from the wave of localization substitution and are expected to expand rapidly. It is suggested to pay attention to Weihai Guangwei Composites Co.Ltd(300699) , Sinofibers Technology Co.Ltd(300777) , Hengshen shares, Zhongfu Shenying (to be listed) and other enterprises.
