In 2022 , the price of cement fluctuated and declined, and the output of cement also hit a new low in recent years. At the same time, as the average price of coal reached a historical high, the profit of the cement industry shrank sharply. Last year, the domestic production and sales of Huaxin Cement declined significantly.
"Since 2016, the effect of peak staggering production has become worse and worse.". Production line capacity has not been produced according to the original capacity, and many enterprises are increasing production, resulting in increasing production. Yang Hongbing, Vice President of Huaxin Cement, pointed out at the "50 People in Cement Economy" Forum held on March 14 that the poor effect of peak staggering production is an important factor affecting the profit level of the cement industry.
To solve the problem of poor profitability in the cement industry, Yang Hongbing believes that it is necessary to reduce production capacity and control production.
In the long run, we must reduce production capacity. Yang Hongbing appealed that enterprises should comply with policies such as energy efficiency level, and that ineffective production capacity, zombie production capacity and high-emission production capacity should be eliminated as soon as possible. In the
short run, how to control production is the key. Each province has its own off-peak production plan, and each cement enterprise must strictly abide by the number of days limit, produce according to the capacity announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and cannot overproduce. At the same time, the output of high energy-consuming production lines should be reduced appropriately, and the output of low energy-consuming production lines can be increased as appropriate.
