安徽水泥市场“四面楚歌” 长江流域价格战已经打响?

2023-06-05 09:14:56

安徽水泥市场可谓是“四面楚歌”。

进入二季度以来,安徽地区水泥价格已经过多轮下调。近日,中国水泥网调研安徽市场了解到,安徽沿江地区的水泥出厂价目前普遍在每吨二百五六十元左右。

“安徽水泥市场现在是腹背受敌!”安徽沿江一水泥企业感慨道。

上述沿江水泥企业一负责人表示,该企业生产的水泥仅有10%左右会用于安徽本地市场,大部分水泥都流向了下游的上海、浙江等地。因此,安徽沿江的水泥价格受到长江下游水泥企业的极大牵制。

“下游的部分企业把水泥价格定到每吨二百五十元左右,我们不得不降价。”该沿江水泥企业负责人表示,江浙一带的水泥企业距目标市场近,在运输成本上占据优势;而上游湖北等地的水泥企业又具有生产成本低的优势,安徽水泥企业“腹背受敌”,夹在中间被迫降价。

除此之外,近日山东也有低价水泥打入皖北市场,本来处于高位的皖北水泥价格也受到了不小冲击。据中国水泥网行情数据中心消息,近期安徽北部地区的水泥价格普遍产生了20-35元/吨的下浮。

价格上的激烈竞争反映出的是需求的羸弱。

安徽一季度水泥需求比较旺盛,主要是由于疫情管控放松再加上年初复工产生的赶工期引发的,且当时大部分企业都在停窑检修,水泥需求一度“火热”;

然而三月下旬,各水泥企业结束停窑恢复生产,赶工项目基本完工且没有新项目动工,突然大量增加的产能和陡然转冷的需求激烈“摩擦”致使安徽水泥价格震荡下跌。

“房地产占到需求的50%,但是没有工程动工。今年上半年的销量还比不过去年,创下了历史新低,下半年恐怕希望渺茫。”安徽芜湖一水泥企业负责人说道。

由于需求过差,当前安徽许多企业不堪高库存的压力而进行自主停窑调整。

马鞍山一水泥企业负责人认为,造成当前产需矛盾激烈的一个重要原因便是产能置换政策。许多早应该被淘汰掉的多余、落后产能,置换后新建的生产线反而实际产能大大增加,这无疑是加重了早已产能过剩的水泥行业的负担。

成本方面,近期煤炭价格下滑对于水泥企业来说似乎是个好消息,但事实并非如此。更低的煤炭价格并没有为水泥企业带来更多的利润,反而为水泥造就了更多的降价空间。

煤炭价格尚在每吨一千元左右时,安徽大多数企业还能将水泥价格维持在每吨三百元以上。据中国水泥网了解,当前安徽某些企业使用的煤炭价格每吨已不到八百元,其水泥价格也跌破了每吨三百元这层“窗户纸”。

上述芜湖水泥企业负责人认为,目前看来,煤炭价格还有下降的可能,水泥价格仍然有下降空间。

疫情的负面影响已经不复存在,销量却创下新低;需求过差导致被迫停窑,产量也普遍下滑;水泥价格过低、利润空间小,企业效益大打折扣……安徽水泥市场可谓是“四面楚歌”。

六月是各企业进行年中总结的时间。今年上半年,安徽大部分水泥企业处于“要销量没销量、要产量没产量、要利润没利润”的尴尬境地,下半年各企业的经营方略应该会做出重大调整。惨淡的行情下,争市场份额可能会成为不同企业的相同选择。

上述安徽沿江水泥企业负责人表示,现在长江沿江地区的价格战可以说是已经打响,下半年恐怕会变本加厉。

在水泥行业的竞争中,降低成本的重要性不言而喻。水泥企业通常在能耗等方面节约成本,然而经过多年的发展,水泥熟料生产线的节能技术已经十分成熟,量变再难引起质变,而“大势所趋”的替代燃料也存在着没有形成完整供应链的致命缺陷。

“大企业还好,小企业在节能技改等方面投入偏少。现在行情不好,小企业收益差,就更不愿进行投入,就陷入了越不投入、越不挣钱的恶性循环。”上述芜湖水泥企业负责人表示,小企业在惨烈的价格战中很难生存下去。

恶性竞争不会产生赢家。安徽多家水泥企业呼吁,加强行业自律是重中之重。各企业要认清行业利益大于企业利益、企业利益蕴含在行业利益之中的道理,切忌“鼠目寸光”。

一安徽水泥行业业内人士认为,要想改善水泥行业的供需问题,就要认识到需求的羸弱已经不能改变,那么就应当从控制供给中下功夫。错峰生产绝对不能厚此薄彼,要严格做到“一刀切”,并且错峰生产不能够各地区各省份独立进行,相关的区域市场要有协同性。

“最有效的方式就是将水泥行业纳入碳交易体系。”该业内人士表示,通过产能大小核定碳排放指标,超出指标后企业必须停产或者从其他企业购买相应指标。

合理制订碳排放指标分配方案,碳排放的计量、核算及碳交易规则,形成科学规范兼顾公平和效率的的碳管理、碳交易政策和机制能够有效改善水泥行业产能过剩问题,更能激励水泥企业开展节能降碳改造,推动行业高质量发展。

中国水泥网将于2023年7月6-7日,在重庆举行“2023中国水泥节能与新能源发展大会”, 从节能改造,光伏、储能等技术应用,绿电、替代燃料替代传统能源转型等方面出发,共同探讨水泥行业节能降耗新途径。

At present, many industries in our country appear market involution, and enterprises are also fighting price war, which seriously affects the profits of enterprises, but also affects the stock prices of many listed companies. Although the occurrence of large-scale industry involution is related to the overcapacity of the industry, it is also related to the competitive concept of enterprises, the low-price bidding of the industry and the blind low-price competition. Therefore, how to carry out healthy competition, how to overcome industry involution, how to carry out reasonable pricing, these are the problems we must face and solve.

Liu Yan said that the situation of overcapacity in the cement industry will exist for a long time, and the control of production and capacity will also exist for a long time. In recent years, the industry has achieved some results in anti-involution and anti-vicious competition, with large enterprises leading and small and medium-sized enterprises working together as the key, but we must also be aware that the current industry ecology is still fragile, which requires long-term efforts of all parties to jointly maintain.

2024-11-15 19:53:46

Involution is a roadblock to the development of the industry and a fat stone to move forward, which is harmful but not beneficial. Because the core of involution competition is to protect oneself, protect the market, and fight price war, once the enterprise is difficult to operate and its efficiency declines, without economic support, the enterprise is like a body drive with its skeleton and blood removed, unable to gain a foothold, it can no longer have new ideals and goals, can no longer concentrate on technological innovation and effective technological transformation, and can no longer take society and the overall situation into account. It is impossible to truly achieve green, low-carbon and digital operation, in short, enterprises without economic support will be eliminated and eliminated sooner or later, where can we talk about progress and development?
