"At present, people's confidence in the market has declined, and the mutual trust between enterprises has also declined." A person in charge of a cement enterprise in Jiangxi said. & nbsp; & nbsp;
Recently, China Cement Network investigated the Jiangxi market and learned that the cement output in Jiangxi decreased by more than 10% in April. According to local enterprises, it was mainly caused by the increase of rainwater in April, the slowdown of construction site, and the lack of construction funds for engineering projects. The
vacancy rate is relatively high, and the real estate has little effect on the demand for cement. In an exchange with a local cement enterprise, China Cement Network found that the demand for cement in real estate exceeded one third of the total demand of the enterprise, and even higher in some areas. However, the current real estate market in Jiangxi is not good. According to Shell Research Institute's Survey Report on Housing Vacancy Rate in Major Cities of China in 2022, the vacancy rate in Nanchang City has reached 20%, which is on the edge of a serious backlog of commercial housing.
Facing the current situation of poor downstream demand and low cement price , a cement enterprise in Jiangxi said that it should first improve its competitiveness and control costs through enterprise management, technological transformation and other measures; Secondly, we hope to enhance the exchange and communication between enterprises, and reach a consensus that the interests of the industry are greater than interests of enterprises. Faced with the current market situation, enterprises should compete reasonably and not slide to the edge of vicious competition.
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.
