In 2022, under the impact of the slowdown of the real estate industry and the severe epidemic situation, the development of the cement industry encountered major difficulties: the output hit a new low in the past 11 years, the market continued to run at a low level, the average price of coal reached a historical high, and the profit shrank sharply. At the same time, the market strategy of enterprises has been adjusted, and the rift between competition and cooperation in the industry has deepened.. The cement industry has suffered a historic "cold".
Now, the epidemic is about to become a thing of the past, China's economy is restarting, and 2023 will be the key year for economic recovery. In this context, how to timely spy on China's macroeconomic situation in 2023, grasp the pulse of cement demand and market in 2023, understand the changing market situation, and discuss when the era of high cost of cement will end has become a major concern of the industry!
On this occasion, China Cement Network is scheduled to hold the "2023 China Cement Industry Summit" in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, on March 15-16, 2023, with the theme of "Strong Confidence, Breakthrough and Development". Industry leaders, experts, cement enterprises and equipment suppliers are invited to gather together to discuss industry plans.
Highlight 1: Discussion
and review of the domestic cement market demand and price trend in 2023 In 2022, the cement demand declined seriously, the contradiction between supply and demand escalated again, the rift between competition and cooperation appeared, and the "price war" in the cement industry occurred from time to time. In addition, in order to alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand, many places have further increased the intensity of peak staggering production. Entering the new year, how can industry rebuild confidence to cope with the new changes in the industry? Can market get out of the trough in 2022? These answers will be revealed at this conference.
Highlight 2: Analysis
of the macroeconomic situation and policies in 2023 At the end of 2022, the State Council issued the Outline of the Strategic Plan for Expanding Domestic Demand (2022-2035), proposing to focus on key areas and weak links, and increase efforts to make up for shortcomings in key areas; Promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas and release the potential of domestic demand. At the same time, the real estate good signals are frequent, and major projects continue to advance.. What impact will this series of measures bring to the cement industry? After the real estate industry cools down, can infrastructure carry the banner of cement demand? It deserves the attention of the industry.
Highlight 3: Cost trend analysis
of coal and other energy in 2023 Coal and electricity are the main costs of cement production. In the past two years, the reform of electricity price and the soaring coal price have brought great pressure to the cement industry on the production cost side. Taking coal as an example, for every 100 yuan/ton increase in coal price, the production cost of cement per ton will increase by about 15 yuan. Last year, the average price of 5500 kcal water coal in the ports around Bohai Sea was about 1280 yuan/ton, and the highest price reached 1669 yuan/ton. How does the 2023 coal market work? Closely related to the cement industry.
Highlight 4: Discussion on
green and low-carbon development direction of cement industry From waste heat power generation to co-disposal of cement kilns, from garden factories to green mines, from ultra-low emissions to "double carbon" goals, green has always been the main theme of cement industry development. At present, it is still necessary for every member of our industry to continue to work together and explore new technologies and new ways suitable for the green development of the industry to fully realize the task of ultra-low emission transformation, carbon peak and carbon neutralization.
Highlight 5: Exchange
of the latest energy-saving and environmental protection technology solutions in the cement industry In recent years, in the context of the era of green development, a large number of advanced energy-saving and environmental protection technology solutions have emerged in the cement industry, helping cement enterprises to continuously create good results in reducing energy consumption and pollutant emissions. Nowadays, facing the decline of market demand and the pressure of industrial upgrading, the cement industry needs to constantly find new technological breakthroughs in the field of energy conservation and environmental protection. In this conference, experts from various cement related fields will bring the most cutting-edge technical solutions to help the cement industry develop with high quality.
Highlight 6: Digital and intelligent technology reduces the production and operation costs
of cement enterprises. Affected by the downturn of the real estate industry and other factors, the contradiction between supply and demand of cement has deepened and the pressure of market competition has increased. In this context, better cost control will be the key for enterprises to actively and effectively respond to market changes. In recent years, the emergence of digital and intelligent technology has played an increasingly important role in improving production and operation efficiency and reducing costs for cement enterprises. At this conference, experts and scholars will exchange views on how to use new technology solutions to reduce the cost of cement production and operation.
Highlight 7: Discussion on
the Development Trend of Industrial Chain Extension Areas such as Aggregate and Concrete After entering the "14th Five-Year Plan", aggregate and concrete have become the key directions for cement enterprises to expand. For example, according to the statistics of Cement Big Data Research Institute, in 2022, at least 70 aggregate lines will be put into operation in China, with an additional annual capacity of nearly 430 million tons, and at least 293 projects will be proposed, with a total capacity of more than 1.1 billion tons. How to lay out the aggregate and concrete market of cement enterprises? What is the future trend of related industries? These issues will be focused on.
Cement industry thousand people conference will be held soon! You want to know the big and small things, as long as you move your fingers, you can seize the opportunity! Let's do it!
