Shanghai Construction Stone Market Report
I. The amount of construction stone used in the whole year and each quarter of 2022 (10000 tons)
The amount of construction stone used in 2022 is synchronized with the activity of the city's construction market. It showed a trend of less in the first half of the year and rapid increase in the second half. The usage in the fourth quarter was affected by the adjustment of the epidemic policy in December and did not reach the expected year-end peak. In 2022, the city used 45.33 million tons of stone for construction, compared with 57.56 million tons in 2021. Decrease 21. The chart of usage for each quarter and the whole year is as follows:
Figure 1: Usage
of construction stones for each quarter of 2022 Figure 2: Comparison
of usage of construction stones for 2021 and 2022 II. According to the analysis
of the source of construction stone in 2022, Zhoushan area accounts for more than half of the 52.8%, Fujian coastal area accounts for about 1/3, which is 35. Compared with 2021, Zhoushan area accounts for 69.7%, Fujian coastal area accounts for 22%, and other areas account for 8. It can be seen that in the first quarter of 2022, the source channel of 2021 was maintained, but in the second, third and fourth quarters, the proportion of construction stone sources in Fujian was gradually increasing. This is mainly due to the fact that in the past two years, there have been more construction stone mines in the coastal areas of Fujian, and the transportation into Shanghai is also convenient.

of construction stones from relevant areas to Shanghai in 2022
From the perspective of price trend, the first quarter continues the trend at the end of 2021, and the price in February and March is slightly lower; In the second quarter, the demand dropped sharply due to the epidemic, and the price dropped significantly; in the third quarter, the demand recovered gradually, but the price hovered at a low level due to the influence of more stocks in the mining area, and the price reached the lowest level of the whole year in August due to the influence of repeated market expectations of the epidemic; in the fourth quarter, the price gradually rose to the year-end high of 103 yuan/ton, and in December, the price dropped due to the demand drop due to the adjustment of the epidemic policy. The price trend is shown in the following chart (unit: yuan/ton):
9.2. From the source of construction stone in 2022, Zhoushan area accounted for more than half of 52.8%. Fujian coastal area accounts for about 1/3, which is 35. Compared with Zhoushan area in 2021, Zhoushan area accounts for 69. The proportion of sources in Huzhou, northern coastal areas, Anhui, Hubei and other areas has also increased to a certain extent, and the source channels of construction stones in this city show a discrete pattern. On the one hand, it is conducive to full market competition, on the other hand, it also puts forward higher requirements for industry management.
3. According to the statistical analysis of the relevant indicators of the Shanghai Construction Stone Quality Guarantee, the quality of construction stone in 2022 is stable, the qualified rate is close to 100%, and there is no quality incident involving construction stone in the market. This is mainly because the supply channel of construction stone has a certain scale and has certain quality control; at the same time, the city's management departments, associations, suppliers and users have standardized and normalized the quality supervision, control and industry self-discipline of construction stone. Report on
Shanghai Construction Sand Market
in 2022 I. Transportation of Construction Sand to Shanghai
by Ship In 2022, the city's construction sand was transported by ship to Shanghai mixing stations, component stations, ready-mixed mortar and other production units for a total of 350 to 45 ships. There were 6,242 ships in the first quarter and 2,687 ships in the second quarter, totaling 8,929 ships in the first half of the year; there were 12175 ships in the third quarter and 13941 ships in the fourth quarter, totaling 26116 ships in the second half of the year.

In the first quarter, affected by the Spring Festival holidays and the local epidemic situation, the amount of sand used for construction in this city was 7.498 million tons. Compared with the first quarter of 2021, the usage was 8.649 million tons, a decrease of 13. This indicates that the project operating rate is low after the Spring Festival.
In the second quarter, the city used 3.164 million tons of sand for construction, compared with 7.83 million tons in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of 59.4-May, Shanghai was in the epidemic control period, mixing stations and construction units were in a state of shutdown, the only one under construction, only a few mobile cabin hospital projects. In June, with the resumption of production of many projects in Shanghai, the demand has improved, but it is still in the recovery period.
In the third quarter, the city used 14.454 million tons of sand for construction, compared with 1416 tons in the third quarter of 2021,
and 17.072 million tons in the fourth quarter. Compared with 1493 in the third quarter of 2021,
IV. Proportion of
Coarse, Medium and Fine Sand for Construction According to the data in the quality assurance certificate of the supplier, the distribution of coarse, medium and fine sand for construction in this city in 2021:
5. The price
of sand for construction in this city reflects the invoice price of sand for construction in this city according to the quality assurance certificate. The summary is as follows:
1. Average price trend chart of natural sand for construction (period of 2 weeks) (medium sand)
2. Average price trend chart of machine-made sand for construction (with a period of 2 weeks) (medium sand)
1. In January, some projects in the city catch up with the construction period, the demand for sand for construction is supported, and the price is in a stable state at the end of December 2021; After the Spring Festival, due to the corresponding health protection for people returning to Shanghai according to the requirements of health prevention, the resumption rate of construction sites in this city is only 67.1%, the market demand has not returned to normal, the price of shipping and sea transportation is relatively cheap, and the price has fallen; At the beginning of March, the city's project resumption rate reached 85. In late March, some mixing stations began to stop production. From the beginning of April to the end of May, the city's mixing stations were in a state of shutdown. Only a few mobile cabin hospital projects and some key projects began to resume work in mid-May. In June, the city's mixing stations and construction sites resumed production one after another, but the resumption rate was not high. The demand for construction sand is mainly to digest the terminal inventory, and the market price of construction sand is slowly declining;
3. After July, the construction sites in the city have been basically fully resumed. Although the price of sand for construction fluctuated due to the high temperature in August and the stagnation of waterway transportation caused by the typhoon in September, the price of sand for construction in the city rose slowly due to the impact of demand until the end of November, but did not exceed the same period in 2021. With the release of the new 20 and 10 articles in December, the production progress of the city's construction sites and construction sand users has gradually slowed down, the demand has declined, and the price of construction sand has fallen.
VI. Chloride ion content
of sand for construction A total of 8650 batches of natural sand were tested for chloride ion. The test results were <0 .01%, accounting for 99.72%; 0.01-0.02%, accounting for 0.28%; and more than 0.02%, zero; Chloride ion detection of machine-made sand is 26569 batches, the detection results are less than 0. 01%, accounting for 99. 8%, between 0. 01% and 0. 02%, accounting for 0. 2%, more than 0. At present, the control of chloride ion content in the construction sand market in this city is well done, and the attention to chloride ion content has been normalized.
