In 2023, the Spring Festival was earlier, the epidemic factors subsided, the downstream resumption of work was better, many major projects started construction, the overall demand in the first quarter was better than same period, the cement output increased, and the price rebounded to a certain extent, but due to the low price of cement in this period , coupled with the limited decline in coal, the price of cement in the first quarter was higher than that in the first quarter. The cost is still high, and the profit of the cement industry is expected to shrink sharply year on year. Looking forward to the second quarter, with the continuous development of infrastructure projects and the gradual stabilization of real estate, the demand in the second quarter is expected to continue to release, but we should also be alert that with the arrival of the rainy season and the busy farming season, there are variables in the degree of demand improvement. At the same time, under the pressure of new production lines, the rising space of cement prices is suppressed, and it is expected that although the benefits will improve, the absolute profit level may still be low.
