this year, the domestic cement market has been in a downturn, occasionally rebound, but only a splash, it is difficult to trigger a big wave. The recent nationwide rise in cement prices is largely due to rising costs, and the supply-demand relationship has not changed substantially.
Under the background of the increasingly serious contradiction between domestic supply and demand, the nationwide general market downturn has led to too fierce market competition, and it is not uncommon for cement prices around the country to "catch up with each other" this year. Enterprises around the country not only have difficulties in selling in the local market, but also have difficulties in shipping to the surrounding areas due to price and freight problems. In order to alleviate the pressure of enterprises, they can only seek some new sales channels, and increasing cement exports has become one of the measures taken by many enterprises to alleviate the pressure.
Erlianhot Customs has set up a special working class for cement export to carry out field research. After investigation and communication, the cement plant can apply to the customs for export in advance according to the export plan, and after approval by the customs, the vehicle can leave the customs supervision operation area to the cement plant to load and unload cement. Recently, in Erlianhot Tonghui Cement Company, vehicles loaded with cement are lined up neatly, and will enter Mongolia through Erlian Port after customs clearance.
It is understood that in the first nine months of this year, Erlian Port exported 53,000 tons of cement, an increase of 11.3 times over the same period last year; the value was 18.157 million yuan, an increase of 11.2 times.
With the decline of cement demand and the arrival of the peak of production capacity, the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and a cyclical industry shuffle is inevitable. Relying on digital and intelligent technology means, realizing technology and management upgrading, continuously reducing energy consumption, pollutant emissions and carbon emissions, and enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises are the key for cement enterprises to meet the challenges.
To this end, China Cement Network will hold the Fifth China Cement Intelligence Summit Forum in Hangzhou on November 29, 2023, with the theme of "Data-Driven Decision-Making Intelligence Leads the Future", inviting industry experts, scholars and representatives of relevant enterprises. To jointly explore and promote the intelligent process of the cement industry.
