The statistical data of cement output in all parts of the country from January to March 2026 show that the cumulative output of cement in the country has a certain scale. From the year-on-year data, the situation varies from place to place. The output in most regions showed a trend of year-on-year decline, among which the decline in Liaoning, Shaanxi, Fujian and other places was more obvious, for example, the year-on-year decline in Liaoning was larger; while the output in Beijing, Guizhou, Hunan and other places increased year-on-year, and the year-on-year increase in Beijing was relatively prominent. The smaller year-on-year change in production was in Zhejiang, which decreased by only 0.03%. The overall output of the whole country decreased by 7.10% year on year.
