2023, the continuous decline in cement prices in Fujian has not ushered in a significant turnaround, although the price has been the lowest level in nearly two years, but the situation seems to be deteriorating.
According to the market data of China Cement Network, the market demand in Fuzhou, Fujian Province is still poor, the shipment volume of enterprises is not high, and the kiln shutdown in the second quarter has not been implemented in place, so the inventory of enterprises is generally high.
"Prices continue to decline", "the situation is very serious", "most enterprises have begun to lose money", a number of cement enterprises responsible for feedback to China Cement Network, Fujian market is poor, cement enterprises have seized the market with prices below the cost line, the industry is in a loss state.
"Cement industry overcapacity is serious, demand downward is obvious, the industry is estimated to be slowly declining in the future, small profits should be a trend." The person in charge of a cement enterprise in Longyan, Fujian, is pessimistic about the subsequent market trend.
In the environment of declining demand and low prices, there are also "cracks" in the consensus among cement enterprises in Fujian:
First, the "war faction": At present, the industry has a serious overcapacity, and the policy effect of peak staggering production as a way to regulate the relationship between supply and demand in the market is declining. It can not fundamentally solve the problem of surplus. Survival of the fittest is the characteristic of market economy, which forces backward and inefficient production capacity to withdraw from the market through free competition, so as to achieve market clearance.
The second is the "competition and cooperation faction": dumping at low prices will only hurt both sides, which is not conducive to the long-term sustainable development of the industry. We should maintain a good market environment and enhance self-discipline and coordination. Judging
from the actual situation in Fujian at present, the "pro-war faction" has already taken some actions and has a wide influence.
More attention should be paid to the fact that Fujian, as a price depression in East China, if the market situation can not be effectively improved, facing heavy pressure, going out of Fujian and opening up the surrounding high-priced cement market will also become the consensus and action of Fujian cement industry, which will also have a great impact on the surrounding market.
At present, the downward trend of cement demand is prominent, energy prices remain high, costs remain high for a long time, and profit compression has become the norm. Improving energy efficiency and reducing cost pressure have become the key breakthrough points for cement enterprises to enhance their comprehensive strength and market competitiveness.
China Cement Network will hold the " 2023 China Cement Energy Conservation and New Energy Development Conference " in Chongqing on July 6-7, 2023. Explore new ways of energy saving and consumption reduction in cement industry.
After the meeting, we will visit Oriental Hope Chongqing Cement.
