"As long as everyone has the same confidence and does not maliciously hit the price, there is still hope this year that the market will come back." On March 14, Jiang Xiaomeng, chairman of Jianfeng Group, said at the "50 people in the cement economy" forum.
In 2022, the domestic demand for cement declined significantly due to the downturn of the real estate industry, the multi-point spread of the epidemic and the shortage of construction funds. In order to compete for the market, price war broke out in some regions, and the original market structure was impacted.
In this regard, Jiang Xiaomeng believes that the development of any enterprise can not be separated from the healthy development of the industry. If the cement industry wants to maintain a good situation, it needs to establish a consensus that "the industry benefits more than interests of enterprises". At the same time, enterprise competition should seek breakthroughs from the perspective of differentiation to avoid simple price competition among homogeneous products.
Jiang Xiaomeng also said that the industry needs to reflect the differences in management and cost control of each enterprise on the basis of market competition and cooperation, and highlight the market position of superior enterprises.
