beginning of the year continued the low prosperity at the end of last year. Although the market gradually recovered with the warmer weather, the price of sand and gravel is still generally hovering at a low level.
Recently, the digital building materials DataBM. Com surveyed some sand and gravel merchants in Jiangsu Province. Many merchants said that although the demand for sand and gravel in the local market has improved after the Spring Festival, the gradually warming demand for sand and gravel has not yet driven up the price of sand and gravel, and the current price is generally flat with that at the end of last year.
The project landed quickly & nbsp; Sand and gravel market activity gradually increased
, "now almost all have resumed work." A sand trader in Nantong, Jiangsu, told the digital building materials DataBM. Com, "the market is a little better."
Since the Spring Festival, thanks to the continuous release of favorable policies, the heat of the sand and gravel market is indeed gradually rising.
According to the Digital Building Materials DataBM. Com, in terms of infrastructure construction, 22 major projects in Jiangsu Province alone were listed on the "annual list" in 2023. In
2023, Jiangsu Province will actively build "Jiangsu on the track", speed up the construction of projects under construction along the North River, Ninghuai, Shanghai-Suhu, Tongsu-Jiayong Railway, strive to start the construction of Weifang-Suqian Railway and Shangyuanmen Railway River-crossing Tunnel as soon as possible, strive to start the construction of Heshu Railway, and actively promote the construction of Yantai-Xichangyi Railway and Changtai Railway. By the end of August, the inter-city railway along the South Yangtze River will be built, with an additional high-speed rail mileage of 278 kilometers. The expansion of
infrastructure investment has formed a strong support for the recovery of sand and gravel demand. A sand and gravel manufacturer in Suzhou told the digital building materials DataBM. Com that at present, the manufacturer mainly supplies mixing stations in the Yangtze River Delta region. The economy in the Yangtze River Delta area is active, and the project has landed quickly. At present, the demand for sand and gravel has improved significantly compared with the end of last year, and the market has gradually recovered.
According to the data of the Digital Building Materials DataBM. Com, as of February 16, 2023, the price index of gravel in Jiangsu Province was 92.59 points, and the price index of machine-made sand in Jiangsu Province was 104.39 points, both of which were the same as the previous year. The active
sand and gravel market and the increasing demand for sand and gravel have not been intuitively reflected in the price of sand and gravel at present. Compared with the actual demand of the market, the sand and gravel production capacity piled up by sand and gravel manufacturers is still excessive.
According to the statistics of the Digital Building Materials DataBM. Com, from January to October 2022, at least six production lines exceeding 10 million tons were put into operation in 10 provinces and cities such as Shanghai and Jiangsu. Among them, Ruichang 30 million tons/year gravel aggregate line and Huaxin (Yangxin) 100 million tons machine-made gravel project are the largest production lines in China in recent years. The release of
sand and gravel production capacity brings fierce market competition, and the price of sand and gravel is difficult to increase significantly in the short term.
At present, the ex-factory price of natural sand washed by a building material manufacturer in Yancheng is 115 yuan/ton, and the ex-factory price of granite machine-made sand is 95 yuan/ton. The ex-factory price of different specifications of water-washed recycled machine-made sand from a recycled machine-made sand manufacturer in Kunshan ranges from 88 yuan/ton to 98 yuan/ton, while the price of water-washed recycled melon rice and water-washed recycled stone is about 72 yuan/ton.
