獲利壓力不大

 

 

日本化工 - 信用風險評估

 

日本化學品產量於2022年第二季下降,所有子產業無一倖免,但第三季卻再度反彈。短期前景依然樂觀,成長率適中但穩定。由於之前肥皂和清潔劑需求壓抑,國內家用化學品消費量持續復甦(2022年成長3.7%)。與此同時,全球晶片短缺現象有所緩解,主要客戶產業汽車的需求在不斷增加。

海外市場約佔化學品銷售額的50%,第三季外來需求再次增加。可是發達經濟體和中國經濟成長疲弱,可能會讓未來幾個月的出口下挫。

 

日本化學品產出

 

即便化工業沒有過分依賴俄羅斯的石油和天然氣供應,但能源價格高漲仍令人擔憂。雖然日圓疲軟有利於出口,但卻導致能源和大宗商品進口成本上揚。能源和原料價格高漲,想將上漲的成本完全轉嫁給終端客戶仍然很困難。因此,化學品企業2022會計年度(2022年4月1日至2023年3月31日)的利潤率預計會縮水。不過因市場條件有利,多數企業2021會計年度的獲利能力都有所成長。

日本化工業的平均付款期限為30-120天,過去兩年的付款行為普遍良好。過去幾年來,化工業的付款延遲和無力償還情況不高,所以預期2023年不會有任何明顯惡化。日本化工業所有細產業的信用風險狀況可評為「良好」,因為獲利壓力不大,銀行願意提供貸款,而且多數企業的負債率不高。

從長遠來看,國內生產成本高,而中國和美國又削價競爭,因此可能不利於產能,尤其是基礎化學品子產業。預期此細產業的企業要努力提升價值鏈,為汽車等主要買家產業製造低碳專門產品。
