In addition to the strategic contraction of the cement market layout, for enterprises, a variety of means to control production and operating costs has become the key to survival.

Since

this year, Xintianshan, Huarun Cement and other enterprises have released the news of equity transfer of several holding cement and concrete enterprises.

Take China Resources Cement as an example: in November, 100% equity of China Resources Cement (Fuzhou) Co., Ltd. was transferred at the base price of 17336 (RMB); in the same month, 100% equity of Heyuan Huarun Huida Concrete under China Resources Cement was listed for transfer.

In July, the 100% equity of China Resources Cement (Yangjiang) Co., Ltd. was listed for transfer at a base price of 345 million yuan.

In May, China Resources Cement (Wuzhishan) Co., Ltd. was listed to transfer 100% equity.

At the same time, the cancellation of capacity replacement projects in the cement industry has appeared since last year, and there seems to be an increasing momentum in the near future. Among them, there are many large cement enterprises. Take Conch Cement as an example:

in March, Gansu Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology issued the Announcement on Cancellation of the Capacity Transfer Plan for the 2500t/d Cement Clinker Production Line of Linxia Conch Cement Co., Ltd. The content shows that, affected by the policy of "double control of energy consumption" in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (capacity transferee), Xing'an Conch Cement Co., Ltd. (Capacity transferee) can not accept the transferred capacity, and the 2500t/d cement clinker production line capacity transfer scheme of Linxia Conch Cement Co., Ltd. will be cancelled.

In October, the Department of Economy and Information Technology of Anhui Province issued the Announcement on the Cancellation of the Capacity Replacement Scheme for the Construction Project of the 4000 Tons Per Day Cement Clinker Production Line of Xiaoxian Conch Cement Co., Ltd. The announcement shows that due to the limitation of coal consumption index, the project will not continue to advance. Why do

cement enterprises have this series of behaviors? Some insiders pointed out that under the background of the current market downturn, cement enterprises are facing heavy pressure. The decline of market demand leads to the decrease of cement production and sales, which has a great impact on the profits and operation of enterprises. The main reasons are that enterprises divest inefficient assets, cancel new projects and optimize the allocation of resources so as to achieve cost reduction.

It is worth noting that many cement enterprise leaders have said in their exchanges with China Cement Network that cost control is the king's way when the industry is at a low ebb. In addition to the strategic contraction of the cement market layout, for enterprises, a variety of means to control production and operating costs has become the key to survival.

At present, the layout of photovoltaic and other new energy and alternative fuels has become an important choice for the cement industry to save electricity and reduce coal. It is understood that Conch Cement, China Resources Cement, Red Lion Cement , Tapai Group, Evergreen Cement and many other cement enterprises have taken the lead in the layout of photovoltaic "new track".

As a better alternative to coal, biomass fuel has also been popular in recent years. Zongyang Conch, Luoyang Zhonglian and Yongping Red Lion have taken the lead in building biomass alternative fuel projects. It is noteworthy that recently, the optimal Arundo donax test-tube seedlings cultivated by China Resources Cement and Aerospace Shenzhou Biotechnology Group were successfully returned by Shenzhou 16 manned spacecraft through space mutagenesis. It is reported that as a biomass fuel, the combustion calorific value of space Arundo donax is 10-20% higher than that of conventional biomass, and the combustion speed is equivalent to that of bituminous coal.

In addition, many cement enterprises are also upgrading technology and management and optimizing personnel through intelligent and digital means to continuously reduce costs.

How to achieve industrial upgrading and further reduce production costs while reducing employment costs through intelligent means? On November 29, the Fifth China Cement Intelligence Summit Forum will be held in Hangzhou with the theme of "Data-Driven Decision-Making Intelligence Leads the Future"! We sincerely invite industry experts, scholars and representatives of relevant enterprises to discuss and promote the intelligent process of the cement industry.
