Comparison of Kiln Shutdown in the Third Quarter of China (2023 VS 2022)

Wang Jianchao pointed out that the market problem has existed for a long time and cannot be solved in the short term. In the face of the current situation faced by the cement industry, peak staggering production is still the most effective way to solve the contradiction between supply and demand in the short term. We must strengthen industry self-discipline, accurately stagger the peak, rigidly shut down the kiln, enhance mutual trust and jointly safeguard the industry ecology.

The cement industry is currently facing two serious problems, one is the rapid decline in demand, and the other is the serious overcapacity. In this case, the association should not only take the initiative and actively appeal to the government to bring policy dividends to the industry, but also provide value-added services for member units according to the needs of members. To strengthen the work of "anti-involution and steady growth", we need more work from associations at all levels. I have a few suggestions for your reference:

Around August 12-15, the price of clinker in the Yangtze River Delta region of East China began to rise by 30 yuan/ton. Driven by this, coupled with the shutdown of kilns and the reduction of production, the price of cement in northern Zhejiang, central and southern Jiangsu and other markets has been raised by about 30 yuan/ton this week, and the implementation remains to be observed.

2025-08-15 16:38:54

In 2025, the normal production plan of all clinker production lines in Guangdong Province for the whole year is to shut down the kiln for 95 days/kiln, which is 15 days more than that in 2024. The number of days of off-peak shutdown increases, which effectively reduces the supply of cement and forms a certain support for the price of cement. From the implementation of the first half of the year, Guangdong industry peak staggering production policy is well implemented, and under the current national "anti-involution" requirements, the industry peak staggering production policy has strong binding force.

2025-08-04 10:04:41

At present, the cement industry has serious overcapacity, and the situation of oversupply makes the market competition more and more fierce. If the state of "boiling frogs in warm water" is maintained reluctantly, it will take a long time for enterprises to form a consensus on the market situation, which is a kind of harm to the industry. When necessary, such as the off-season market, the price will hit the bottom, the enterprise will learn from the bitter experience, start to re-examine the market and its own development strategy, and the whole market will stabilize again in an orderly competitive relationship.

2025-07-23 13:41:28

However, the above-mentioned industry insiders said that although the downward pressure on cement prices in Sichuan in the past two months or so was greater and the industry faced more challenges, the overall price level was better than last year, thanks to the anti-involution results in the fourth quarter of last year. In addition, after this wave of price decline, the competition in the industry is gradually returning to rationality. At present, the off-season market will fluctuate. It is expected that the cement market in Sichuan will return around September.

The Measures for the Implementation of Capacity Replacement in the Cement and Glass Industry (2024 edition) shall promote the unification of the registered capacity and the actual capacity. For the compliance production lines whose actual capacity is greater than registered capacity, it is proposed that the difference in capacity can be made up in accordance with these Measures and the relevant procedures such as filing, environmental assessment and energy assessment can be improved. But the reality is that the actual production of enterprises is still exceeding the record capacity.

At the meeting, the implementation of peak staggering production in the cement industry of the whole province in May was reported. The overall implementation rate of peak staggering production is 75%, and problems such as regional imbalance and insufficient self-discipline of enterprises still exist. Based on the local reality, each district analyzes the underlying reasons for the "difficulty in execution": some enterprises are trying to seize market share, resulting in an imbalance between supply and demand in the market; the regional coordination mechanism is imperfect, and the means of supervision are limited; the superimposed market demand is weak, and the "involution" competition in the industry is intensified.
