Zhou viewpoint of building materials industry: raw material prices continue to rise, and many waterproof and coating enterprises raise product prices

Attention this week: the price of raw materials has continued to rise, and many waterproof and coating enterprises have raised their product prices. Affected by the continuous rise in the price of crude oil and bulk materials in the international market, the outbreak of the Russian Ukrainian war and the complexity and variability of geopolitics, the price of raw materials has continued to rise since the beginning of the year, and the prices of raw oil, asphalt and titanium dioxide have increased by 103.1%, 49.2% and 6.2% respectively year-on-year. The cost of waterproof and coating enterprises is under pressure. As of March 25, the spot price of Brent DTD crude oil in the UK was US $124.6/barrel, up 103.1% year-on-year; The transaction price of Shandong asphalt (200) market was 4550.0 yuan / ton, a year-on-year increase of 49.2%; The spot price of rutile titanium dioxide was 198000 yuan / ton, a year-on-year increase of 6.2%.

According to the letter on quality risk of engineering waterproof materials issued by China State Construction Engineering Corporation Limited(601668) waterproof Association, at the beginning of 2022, the prices of main raw materials of asphalt waterproof roll, water-based waterproof, coating, polyurethane waterproof and coating increased sharply, with an average increase of more than 30%. From January 2021 to February 2022, the prices of main raw materials in the waterproof industry rose sharply, among which asphalt, SBS and polyester tire, the main raw materials of asphalt waterproof roll, increased by 36%, 30% and 43% respectively; The main raw materials of waterborne waterproofing coatings, VAE emulsion, elastic acrylic latex and styrene butadiene latex rose by 57%, 39% and 35% respectively. Isocyanate, the main raw material of polyurethane waterproof and coating, increased by 54%. Asphalt accounts for 50% – 70% of the raw material cost of asphalt waterproof roll; The emulsion accounts for 50%-90% of water-borne waterproofing and coating raw materials. Isocyanate accounts for 30% – 50% of the raw material cost of polyurethane waterproof and coating.

In order to cope with the cost pressure, at least 30 waterproof and coating enterprises, including Keshun Waterproof Technologies Co.Ltd(300737) , Beijing Oriental Yuhong Waterproof Technology Co.Ltd(002271) , Skshu Paint Co.Ltd(603737) , have raised the prices of some products since 2022. Among them, the increase range of Keshun Waterproof Technologies Co.Ltd(300737) products is 5% ~ 30%, that of Beijing Oriental Yuhong Waterproof Technology Co.Ltd(002271) products is 10% ~ 20%, and that of Skshu Paint Co.Ltd(603737) waterproof and coating products is 10% ~ 20% and 5% ~ 15% respectively. This round of price increases may alleviate part of the cost pressure.
