【Industrial Aluminum Profiles Weekly Operating Rate】 This week, the operating rate for industrial profiles slightly declined compared to last week. Leading photovoltaic frame profile enterprises in East China, Southwest China, and Hebei region reported relatively saturated orders for the first week of July, with backlog orders providing some support for the operating rate. A few manufacturers saw a slight increase in operating rates week-on-week. However, the uncertainty of subsequent orders remains significant, and the risk of production cuts persists. It is expected that operating rates will weaken by mid-July. For automotive profiles, entering July, some large and medium-sized sample enterprises in East China and Central China reported a strong off-season atmosphere in the industry. New orders this week remained sluggish, but a few enterprises in East China reported relatively saturated foreign orders, maintaining their operating rates at around 60%. Meanwhile, some enterprises in East China that previously switched from construction materials to industrial profiles reported intense internal competition within the industrial profiles sector. After comprehensive evaluation, these enterprises decided to shut down industrial profile production lines and implement staff optimization.
