After the heavy snow, the market demand fell sharply, and some cement enterprises in Inner Mongolia stopped production.

November, the market reported that some major enterprises in the central region of Inner Mongolia had raised the price of cement by 20-30 yuan/ton. Subsequently, Inner Mongolia and Northeast China experienced a wave of heavy snowfall. After the heavy snow, how about the cement market in Inner Mongolia? China Cement Network has exchanged with some local professionals.

"Recently, the market is not good, after the heavy snow in eastern Mongolia, the major projects have been shut down, the market demand has declined sharply, some cement enterprises have stopped production, and some large factories have shipped less than 30%." A person in charge of a large cement enterprise in Inner Mongolia said.

At present, the impact of cooling and rain and snow weather, market demand is close to the end, coupled with some enterprises in a wait-and-see state, this push up mainly plays a role in promoting stability.

It is understood that the performance of cement demand in Inner Mongolia this year is general, some regions due to the serious decline in demand, fierce market competition, low cement prices, some enterprises have long been independent kiln shutdown.

"The local and surrounding cement market is not very good, and the cement sales of enterprises have fallen by about 20% year on year." An enterprise in Mengdong disclosed that due to poor market demand, the price was too low to be cost-effective, and the second cement kiln of the enterprise stopped in early October. Compared

with the eastern region of Inner Mongolia, the demand for cement in the western region of Inner Mongolia is slightly better. "Cement sales of our enterprises increased by about 10% year on year." Relevant personnel of a cement enterprise in Bayannaoer said that the enterprise is expected to stop production by the end of this month. A person from a cement enterprise

in Wuhai said that the cement sales of the enterprise were flat year on year this year, which was driven by the completion of some major local projects. "Judging from the current project situation, it is estimated that the demand for cement will be even less optimistic next year." The person said.

With the decline of cement demand and the arrival of the peak of production capacity, the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and a cyclical industry shuffle is inevitable. Relying on digital and intelligent technology means, realizing technology and management upgrading, continuously reducing energy consumption, pollutant emissions and carbon emissions, and enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises are the key for cement enterprises to meet the challenges.

To this end, China Cement Network will hold "Data-Driven Decision-Making" in Hangzhou on November 29, 2023. The Fifth China Cement Intelligence Summit Forum , with the theme of "Intelligence Leads the Future", invites industry experts, scholars and representatives of relevant enterprises to discuss and promote the intelligent process of the cement industry.
