According to the data center of China Cement Network, the demand for cement in Jiangsu continued to weaken, and some major manufacturers in Jiangsu, Wuxi and Changzhou continued to reduce the price of cement by 5-10 yuan/ton around July 1.
As the cement market is currently in the traditional low season, enterprises generally have low shipments, high inventory pressure and fierce market competition. In order to increase shipments, some manufacturers have to adjust prices, further pulling down the price of cement.
Secondly, there are many small grinding enterprises in Jiangsu. Due to low investment, the primary business policy of these small enterprises is to occupy the market share at a low price, which also makes it difficult to raise the price of cement and intensifies the downward trend of cement price in Jiangsu. This situation is not only affected by seasonal factors such as weather and busy farming, but also reflects structural problems.
In addition, due to the influence of low-price cement from southern Shandong, the cement price of major manufacturers in Xuzhou continues to decline, and the ex-factory price has approached about 200 yuan/ton.
At the same time, the market is in the traditional low season, the demand continues to be weak, and the cement price in the East China market is declining. & nbsp; & nbsp;
Shandong : Starting from July 1, peak shifting and 15-day kiln shutdown have been implemented in Shandong region. According to the current situation, the implementation is general. In terms of
cement price, due to the traditional off-season of the market and the indirect rain weather, the terminal market demand is still weak, the shipment volume of enterprises is not up to expectations, the inventory pressure has not been alleviated, and the transaction price of some enterprises in the region continues to decline. From the end of
June to the beginning of July, the transaction prices of some major manufacturers in Zaozhuang, Linyi, Jining, Heze, Zibo and most other areas in the province still dropped by about 10-20 yuan/ton, and the overall market showed a downward trend. & nbsp; & nbsp;
Zhejiang: According to the feedback from the market, the market demand in Zhejiang has been weak recently, and the shipment volume of enterprises is only about 5-7%. In addition, there is still an impact from foreign low-priced cement, so the sales pressure in the local market is relatively high.
In order to maintain the market share, some major manufacturers in Ningbo, Wenzhou, Taizhou and other coastal areas will continue to reduce the cement price by 10-30 yuan/ton from July 1, and the rest of the industry will follow up. & nbsp; & nbsp;
Shanghai: According to the feedback from the market, the market is in the traditional low season, the performance of terminal demand in Shanghai is general, the shipment volume of enterprises is not high, and the price of foreign cement continues to decline. In order to maintain the off-season market share, some major manufacturers in Shanghai have continued to notify the reduction of high-standard bulk prices by about 15 yuan/ton since July 4.
At present, the cement industry is in the doldrums and the situation of overcapacity is still grim. Under the situation of imbalance between supply and demand, a single industrial structure has been unable to support enterprises based on the current complex market situation. Energy saving and carbon reduction, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, industrial transformation and upgrading, optimization of asset allocation and enhancement of core competitiveness can maintain the healthy and long-term development of the cement industry. On July 6-7,
2023, China Cement Network will hold the "2023 China Cement Energy Conservation and New Energy Development Conference" in Chongqing, starting from energy-saving transformation, photovoltaic, energy storage and other technology applications, green power, alternative fuels to replace tradi tional energy transformation, and so on. Explore new ways of energy saving and consumption reduction in cement industry.
After the meeting, Dongfang Hope Chongqing Cement Preheater "Level 5 to Level 6" Energy-saving Demonstration Line will be visited.
