At present, the contradiction between supply and demand in the cement industry is intensifying day by day, the national "price war" is full of smoke, the volume and price of cement are falling, and the industry is facing unprecedented development difficulties. Many industry insiders have said that overcapacity in the cement industry is the root cause.
Bo Kegang believes that the supply and demand of the market is dynamic, and the surplus should be the result of the increase of supply or the shrinkage of demand, which breaks the dynamic balance. As a social economy aiming at benefit, the mission of enterprises to benefit society with benefit is consistent with that of the government. In view of the industries that are about to or are already in serious surplus, only the "visible hand" has the ability to reach out in time to maintain the balance between supply and demand, such as the policies of restricting new production and staggering peak production in the cement industry, which is the positive action of practicing the "two mountains theory" and high-quality development. At a time when the
cement industry is facing great uncertainty, Bo Kegang believes that cement enterprises can start from the following aspects to find a way out and vitality for the development of the cement industry.
First, we should take maintaining the normal order of the industry and building a healthy and sustainable industry ecology as the first priority of cement workers. Faced with the current difficulties, cement enterprises should unify their thinking, maintain the overall situation and the overall situation, communicate more and communicate more. At the same time, leading enterprises should play a leading and exemplary role in the industry, encourage other enterprises to abide by the industry order, and work together to get out of the predicament.
Secondly, cement enterprises should continuously increase investment in energy conservation, emission reduction and environmental protection, keep up with the trend of the times, speed up technological research and development, enhance their comprehensive competitiveness, and promote technological progress and industrial innovation in the cement industry in the light of the current digital and intelligent technologies and the requirements of the dual-carbon target.
Third, resolutely implement the work of capacity removal and peak staggering production carried out by government departments and associations. At the same time, cement enterprises should also increase the research and development and application of environmentally friendly cement and energy-saving building materials, open up new markets, and improve product added value and differentiated market competitiveness.
