Recently, the Bureau of Statistics released data showing that cement production in Jiangxi in April was 6.8098 million tons, down 10.83% from the same period last year. China Cement Network recently investigated the Jiangxi market and learned that the current demand for cement in Jiangxi market is not good, mainly because the funds for downstream projects are not in place.

Coal prices are high. A person in charge of a cement enterprise in Nanchang told China Cement Network that the current price of coal entering the factory is about 1000 yuan/ton, which is slightly lower than that of the same period last year, but the cost pressure of the enterprise is still very high. The cement market
in Jiangxi is not optimistic as a whole. The person in charge said that the Jiangxi market was not good in the first half of this year, and the traditional peak season in May was not "prosperous". The market may improve in the second half of the year, and there should be a small peak season in September and October.
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 Dongfang Hope Chongqing Cement Preheater "Level 5 to Level 6" Energy-saving Demonstration Line and Steam-driven Fan Energy-saving Project.
