2021年三季度水泥市场运行与后市展望

2021-10-29 09:18:31

水泥工业方面,上半年供需两旺,整体延续较高景气度,三季度7、8月份进入传统淡季量价齐降,9月份受限电限产影响供应大幅收缩,叠加需求有所走好,水泥价格创出历史新高,但由于煤价成本居高不下,行业效益仍将出现一定下滑。

前三季度总结:

2021年上半年,我国政府科学统筹疫情防控和经济社会发展,疫情防控取得基本胜利,经济稳定复苏并持续向好,进入三季度,在疫情零星复现、洪涝灾害频发和限电限产工业生产受限影响下,宏观经济下行压力加大,前三季度实现GDP同比增长9.8%,两年平均增长5.2%,第三季度GDP增速4.9%,两年平均增长4.9%,季度调整后环比微增0.2%。水泥工业方面,上半年供需两旺,整体延续较高景气度,三季度7、8月份进入传统淡季量价齐降,9月份受限电限产影响供应大幅收缩,叠加需求有所走好,水泥价格创出历史新高,但由于煤价成本居高不下,行业效益仍将出现一定下滑。

1、地产投资增速高位,水泥产量稳定增长。2021年1-9月固定资产投资(不含农户)完成额增速7.3%,其中房地产投资增速8.8%,基建投资增速1.5%,1-9月固定资产投资中地产表现优于基建,成为水泥需求主要驱动力量。2021年前三季度,水泥产量177770万吨,同比增长5.3%。

2、熟料供应持续压减,落后产能加快退出。据水泥大数据研究院追踪,上半年新投熟料产能相对平稳,新投产能2399万吨,较去年略有增加,但“双碳”背景下,落后产能加快退出,供应持续出现收缩。

3、水泥价格V型反转,创出历史最高纪录。上半年水泥行业经过1-3月淡季后,水泥需求在4、5月份达到阶段性高点,随后进入6、7月份淡季价格一路下探,8月初企稳后出现稳定反弹,9月份受“能耗双控”影响多地限电限产,供应大幅收缩,水泥价格一路暴涨,走出历史新高,9月末全国水泥平均价格604.6元/吨,较2020年同期444.3元/吨大幅上涨160.4元/吨,涨幅36.1%。

4、成本大幅飙升,效益出现下滑。2021年前三季度动力煤价格震荡走高,特别是第三季度煤价加速上涨,水泥企业利润承压下滑。9月末动力煤现货价1710.0元/吨,较去年同期611.3元/吨暴涨179.8%,预计前三季度规模以上水泥企业利润总额1083.3亿元,同比下降16.0%。

第四季度展望:

1、基建投资偏弱,需求不及同期。9月份各项经济数据来看四季度经济下行压力较大,稳增长诉求较高,专项债发行节奏会有所加快,但债务监管下预计增量有限,基建投资存在一定发挥空间,预计整体幅度有限,水泥需求支撑强度或不及同期。

2、错峰力度升级,供应或有减少。进入10月份天气渐冷,部分北方地区提前入冬,北方地区下游需求可能提前见顶,多数企业执行错峰停窑力度有所加强,同时“能耗双控”政策尚未明显放松,叠加产能置换仍在进行,预计整体供应则会出现一定减少。

3、涨幅空间有限,价格维持高位。目前水泥价格已达历史新高,透支部分旺季需求,下游施工企业对高价水泥出现一定抵触心理,同时限电政策有所放松,下游需求尚未明显走旺,旺季不旺形势下水泥价格上涨动力边际走弱,但10、11月下游需求仍有一定支撑,叠加供应收缩,预计四季度水泥价格涨幅空间有限,高位维持概率较大。

4、煤价跌幅有限,利润仍将承压。步入10月份后,北方提前入冬,电厂积极进行冬储,近日国家发改委联合多部门出击“组合拳”,严厉遏制煤价非理性上涨,促进煤价回归理性状态,但库存偏低背景下,煤价不存在深跌基础,预计四季度煤价跌幅有限,仍保持高位,水泥企业生产成本有所好转,但整体压力仍存,预计2021年全年利润总额1600亿元,同比下降11%左右。

While seeing the success of the current price rise, the industry should also think about how to make a good start next year and how to develop steadily in the future. The author believes that in the current situation, active production control is the key to maintain a good situation in the cement industry. If production control can not be effectively implemented, even if the cement price is maintained at a relatively reasonable position at the end of this year, the cement price will still be difficult to maintain in the face of severe supply and demand situation after the beginning of next year.

According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the cement output from January to September in 2024 is 1326.7 million tons, with a year-on-year decrease of 10.7%; the industry expects that the profit of the whole industry in the first three quarters is only about 3.1 billion yuan, setting the worst record in decades. With the increasingly fierce competition among cement enterprises and the continuous decline of industry efficiency, how can enterprises adjust their development strategies, cross the industry cycle and usher in a new rise in performance? Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you fight a hundred battles with no danger of defeat. If we can accurately grasp the data of industry production and operation demand in real time, it will be the key factor for enterprises to achieve market breakthroughs.

Seeing the title, some people are sure to say: "This is not true. A few years ago, everyone in the cement industry ushered in six years of good times in the process of sharing happiness." Is this really the case? As a typical cyclical industry, the development of cement industry is full of ups and downs. From the past experience, when the industry encounters a low ebb, it is easier for enterprises to form a consensus and deal with challenges together; however, after the industry recovers, it is difficult to maintain this spirit of unity.

This lack of demand is the general trend of the economic cycle, which is irreversible in the short term. It is determined by the economic development cycle and is a problem in the process of development and transformation.

We need to establish the core values of "others earn more, I can earn more" to guide production and operation. In the short run, only by actively limiting production and restoring the balance of supply and demand in the weak market, can the cement industry achieve a recovery in efficiency. Without enough initiative and consistency to limit production, all those who talk about the price of cement are cheaters and hooligans, and they can not succeed.
