According to China Cement Network Market Data Center, on November 8, leading enterprises in Dali and Lijiang, Yunnan, notified an increase in cement prices by 30 yuan/ton.
"The price of cement is too low." A person in charge of a cement enterprise in Lijiang said that the main reason for this round of price increases was that the price of cement fell to a low level in the early stage, and many enterprises had to raise the price of cement because they were running at a loss. In addition, as the time enters the end of the year, many construction sites are rushing to work, while some major projects are started, cement demand is slightly warmer. A person in charge of a cement enterprise
in Dali believes that the rise in cement prices in this round is largely due to the recent power rationing in Yunnan, which limits the production of enterprises; and the cement prices in Yunnan have been falling for a long time, and enterprises have a strong desire to raise prices. When it comes to cement demand, the person in charge of the enterprise said helplessly: "There is no improvement."
In the survey, a number of cement companies told China Cement Network that this year's market demand has shrunk by about 20% compared with last year, mainly due to the downturn of the real estate industry and the slow progress of major projects; At the same time, under the background of insufficient implementation of peak staggering production in Yunnan and increasingly fierce contradiction between supply and demand, cement prices in different parts of the region are competing with each other, and the overall trend of cement prices in Yunnan is also declining all the way this year.
Prices largely depend on the relationship between supply and demand, in the absence of essential changes in the relationship between supply and demand, a temporary rise can not explain anything. Cement prices in Yunnan have been pushed up several times before and then fell back, and it remains to be seen how long this round of price increases will last.
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.
