受中國長期產能過剩、地緣政治不確定性及貿易壁壘影響,台灣大宗化學品業的獲利能力與信用前景持續面臨下行壓力。中華信評最新發布的信用焦點報告指出,雖然2026年上半年產業出現局部復甦,但整體績效表現恐將持續低於景氣循環週期中期的水準,多家受評化學品企業的評等展望已呈現負向或列入信用觀察負向。

中華信評資深高級分析師賴冠伃表示,荷姆茲海峽局勢的不穩定,是2026年全球貿易與能源價格的最大不確定因素。加上亞太區乙烯平均產能利用率在經歷長時間的下行週期後,2026年可能進一步下探。

報告分析,隨著化學品供應鏈波動劇烈推升價格,加上企業前期取得的低成本庫存逐步耗盡,預計2026年下半年業者的利潤率空間將受到擠壓。此外,主要市場持續建構貿易壁壘,亦對大宗化學品業者的出口活動與獲利復甦造成干擾。

中華信評統計,目前的「負向」評等展望主要集中在大宗化學品與金屬等高景氣循環性產業。包括台塑企業四大公司(台塑、台塑化、台化、南亞)評等展望均為負向;台灣聚合化學品與亞洲聚合亦被列入「信用觀察負向」。

中華信評指出,產品差異化與成本優勢將決定各化學品業者的復甦速度。像是大宗通用化學品,如台聚等業者,由於產品組合中產能過剩的芳香化合物與乙烯占比較高,受到的競爭與價格壓力最為沉重。

在多元與特用化學品的部分,長春集團因特用化學品業務貢獻占比高,得以維持較佳的獲利表現;台塑集團則可透過煉油、電子材料與特用化學品的業務分散性,逐步支持其獲利能力恢復。奇美實業雖產品集中度較高,但憑藉淨現金部位與正向的現金流量產生能力,能為信用評等提供些許緩衝空間。

Open Questions

  • 2026年下半年貿易壁壘是否會進一步升級?
  • 企業如何具體調整產品組合以應對產能過剩?

China's second-hand electric vehicle market is cold: battery health and value retention become a global warning

As the world's largest electric vehicle market, China's second-hand car dealers refuse to accept electric vehicles that are more than five years old due to the lack of battery health assessment standards. This phenomenon has led to a sharp decline in the value retention rate. As China's electric vehicle exports increase, this valuation problem may affect overseas markets such as Europe and Southeast Asia.
