In China, multiple listed companies in the modified plastic sector achieved notable growth in both revenue and net profit in the first quarter of 2025.

Among them, Kingfa is leading in the sector with a revenue increase of 49.06%, while Silver Age’s net profit surged by 911.91%, the highest growth rate in the sector.

Drivers: Declining raw material prices and emerging demand

After reviewing various companies’ financial reports, Adsale Plastics Network found that the recent performance growth is primarily driven by four key factors:

1. Raw material prices drop: Reducing production costs and enhancing profit margins

2. Rapid rise of new energy, humanoid robot, and low-altitude economy: Driving a surge in demand for lightweight, high-performance engineering plastics

3. Implementation of policy to promote trade-ins of consumer goods: Stimulating a rebound in the home appliance and consumer electronics markets, increasing the usage of modified materials.

4. Accelerated overseas expansion: Enhancing competitiveness in overseas markets, as well as adaptability and delivery efficiency

In addition, the Chinese companies also achieved breakthroughs in niche areas due to technological innovation, market positioning, and differentiated product structure.

Kingfa Sci.&Tech.: Increase local and overseas capacity
