According to China Cement Network Market Data Center, from December 9 to 12, leading enterprises in Guiyang, Anshun, Qiannan and Qiandongnan notified a substantial increase in cement prices by 60-100 yuan/ton. Since the beginning of October, cement prices in Guizhou have been pushed up for several rounds.
At present, the temperature in many areas of Guizhou is close to below zero, and the demand for cement is flat. A cement enterprise in Qiannan Prefecture said that the market was not good throughout the year, the price of cement was too low in the early stage after a long period of kiln shutdown, and most of the cement plants were running at a loss. By the end of the year, all enterprises need to have an explanation to shareholders, and the price increase is mainly due to the pressure of operation and performance.

"The current price increase situation is rather chaotic, and the price increase situation of different enterprises in the same region is much worse." The head of a cement enterprise in Guiyang said. According to the survey of Guizhou market by
China Cement Network, the implementation of this round of price increase is uneven. Enterprises with small price increase only increase by about 30 yuan/ton, while those with large price increase even reach 100 yuan/ton.
It is understood that the implementation of the previous rounds of price increases in Guizhou is not satisfactory, and the price difference between different regions and enterprises is relatively large. According to the feedback from a cement enterprise in southeastern Guizhou, the local cement price even dropped slightly some time ago.
In this round of price increase, the cement price of the enterprises with better implementation of the previous price increase has a smaller increase, while the cement price of the enterprises with lower cement price and poor implementation of the price increase has experienced a "soaring" situation in this round of price increase, with the highest increase of about 100 yuan/ton.
