According to China Cement Network Market Data Center, some major manufacturers in Nanjing, Suzhou, Nantong and other regions have tried to raise cement prices by 20 yuan per ton since December 23. How is the implementation? China Cement Network has investigated many local cement enterprises.
"Most of the cement enterprises above the scale have issued a price increase notice," a person in charge of a cement enterprise told China Cement Network, "but there are supplementary instructions to re-price at the end of the month, whether it can really land at the end of the month."
Industry insiders also feedback: "Up, but not all in place, Suzhou cement enterprises have settled to December 25, some to December 31."
According to China Cement Network, since this year, due to the shrinkage of real estate and insufficient construction of infrastructure, the demand for cement in Jiangsu has continued to run at a low level, and the price has also shown a trend of low peak season and low off-season.
Several cement enterprises told China Cement Network that due to the current low price of cement, the pressure of enterprise operation and performance is greater, and the willingness to raise prices is strong.
"There is always a sprint at the end of the year." An industry insider said. "Even if this price increase can not fall to the ground, it can at least play a role in stabilizing the price."
