Henan, Sichuan, Hebei and other places push up cement prices

According to the China Cement Network Market Center, driven by the rising prices of raw materials and the better implementation of peak staggering production, cement enterprises in Henan, Sichuan, Hebei and other places have recently pushed up prices. In addition, the price of cement in northern Jiangsu has been lowered. Specifically,

since the resumption of production of most clinker production line enterprises in Henan on the 15th, the market supply has been enlarged, coupled with the impact of rainy weather, the demand performance is weak, and the price of cement has dropped by about 50-60 yuan/ton. In recent days, the weather has improved, demand has picked up slightly, and some enterprises plan to continue to implement peak staggering and kiln shutdown for 20 days from April 20. Driven by this, on the 28th, some major manufacturers in the province again tried to raise the price of high-standard cement by about 30 yuan/ton, and the specific implementation remains to be seen. According to the market feedback

in Sichuan

, the implementation of peak staggering production in the first quarter of Sichuan is better, and the inventory pressure of enterprises is not great. With the rising market demand and the rising prices in the peripheral market, local enterprises in Sichuan have a strong willingness to raise prices. In order to improve profitability, some leading enterprises in Chengdu-Demian, Leyamei, Zizinei, Luyi and other regions notified a substantial increase in cement prices by 50 yuan/ton from 25-28, and the actual implementation remains to be observed. The recent rise in the price of raw materials such as coal

in Hebei

and the intensification of environmental protection control have led to an increase in the production cost of enterprises. In order to increase profits, some major manufacturers in Shijiazhuang, Xingtai and Handan areas of Hebei Province notified an increase in cement prices by about 30-50 yuan/ton on the 25th, and the mainstream notification range is expected to be around 30 yuan/ton. According to the current market situation, the demand performance is general, and the implementation of this round of price increase remains to be observed.

Hubei

, according to market feedback, in order to resist foreign low-price cement, the leading enterprises in Yichang area of Hubei had lowered the cement price by 30 yuan/ton in the first ten days, the cement price was running at a low level, and the enterprises were under great pressure. In order to improve profitability, leading enterprises in Yichang area notified a substantial increase in cement prices by 50-60 yuan/ton on 25-27, and leading enterprises in surrounding Jingzhou area notified a simultaneous increase in cement prices by 60 yuan/ton. At present, the market demand performance is general, and the implementation of the substantial increase remains to be observed.
