Recently, the demand in the northern region has gradually declined, and cement enterprises have begun to enter the state of off-peak kiln shutdown. What is the current situation of the cement market in Hexi area of Gansu? China Cement Network contacted some local cement enterprises.
According to the feedback from many interviewees, the Hexi region is affected by weather and other factors, the current downstream demand is declining, and the shipments of enterprises are decreasing. On the whole, supported by key projects this year, the demand for cement is relatively good. In addition, the impact of Ningxia cement on Jinwu market is more obvious.
"Market demand has declined, but the decline is not significant.". Cement sales of enterprises have not changed much compared with the same period last year. An industry insider in charge of Jiayuguan and Jiuquan markets for a long time said. Relevant person in charge of a cement enterprise
in Wuwei City said that the demand for cement in Jinwu District of Hexi was relatively good this year, supported by high-speed and high-speed rail of key projects. Up to now, the cement sales volume of the enterprise has been the same as last year, but the demand is poor, the shipment volume of the enterprise is estimated to decline, and the enterprise will stop the kiln at the wrong peak.
According to its disclosure, 10 to 150000 tons of cement are transported to Jinwu every year in Ningxia, which brings some pressure to the local market. According to its statement, some cement enterprises in Ningxia will adopt the way of pre-sale to lock in customers in advance and seize the market.
"Because the production cost of cement in our own enterprises is relatively low and the competitiveness is relatively strong, foreign cement will basically not affect the market." These people said.
However, China Cement Network learned that for some old production lines in Jinwu District, due to the high production cost of enterprises, it is basically impossible to compete with foreign cement by "force".
"This year is mainly affected by the impact of Ningxia cement, enterprise cement sales fell 20% year on year." A person from a cement enterprise in Jinchang said that a lot of cement clinker was stored in Ningxia at the end of last year. In order to digest the impact of inventory on the surrounding market, Lanzhou and other places have more clinker production capacity, so they aim at Jinchang market. Because of the old equipment and relatively high cost of cement manufacturing, it is difficult for enterprises to compete in terms of price alone.
Talk about the view to cement market next year, most personage inside course of study expresses not hopeful: "predict to be able to be a few poorer next year", "can maintain the current situation next year pretty good".
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.
