All regions of China's cement industry will enter the new normal in which the production days are less than days of kiln shutdown. The industry should assess the market demand, reasonably determine the production time, and achieve a balance between production and marketing. It is suggested that the relevant departments of the state should implement the anti-involution measures to the production days of the traditional industries in different regions, and adjust the production days according to the real market price, that is, when the market price breaks through the price ceiling, the production days should be increased appropriately, and when the market price breaks through the price floor, the production days should be reduced appropriately, so as to achieve the relative stability of the market price.
