According to China Cement Network Market Data Center, enterprises in Liupanshui and Bijie areas of Guizhou continued to push up cement prices in the early stage, and the implementation was not up to expectations. Around November 25, leading enterprises in Liupanshui and Bijie areas continued to notify the increase of cement prices by 20-30 yuan/ton.
"At present, the market competition is fierce, the ex-factory price of cement varies greatly, and the difference between the highest price and the lowest price may be more than 50 yuan/ton." A cement enterprise in Bijie said that although Guizhou cement enterprises as a whole focus on the interests of the industry, fierce competition among some enterprises in some areas is still unavoidable. The person in charge of another cement enterprise
in Bijie believes that this round of cement price rise is mainly affected by two factors.
First, the end of the year is approaching, because the overall market this year is very poor, enterprises are facing greater performance pressure, demand has recovered slightly at the end of the year, many enterprises have taken this opportunity to raise prices to "return blood".
Two, the recent demand is really good.
On October 24, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress approved the resolution of the State Council on the issuance of additional treasury bonds and the adjustment plan of the central budget for 2023. In the fourth quarter of this year, the central government issued 1 trillion yuan of additional treasury bonds for 2023 as special treasury bonds. Recently, local governments are concentrating on declaring national debt projects, and Guizhou is no exception. The person in charge of the above-mentioned
enterprises said that Guizhou's own local debt pressure is enormous, and there is no demand for engineering projects throughout the year. With the support of trillions of national debt, many local projects, especially in rural areas, have begun to be active, and the demand for cement has recently recovered. " The current demand for cement mainly comes from rural housing construction, small projects and small projects.". ”
