On March 28, the "Cement Economy 50 People Forum" hosted by China Cement Network was successfully held in Hangzhou. The theme of the forum was: Understanding the Changing Situation, Solving the Difficult Situation and Seeking Development. Yang Dan, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and General Manager of
China Gezhouba Group Cement Co., Ltd., said that the general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and the development of the cement industry in the past is the same, but the current situation has changed, mainly because the supply side is increasing, while the demand for cement is declining. Ten years later, it is estimated that the demand for cement will be 700-800 million tons, but if we can do the corresponding work well, the cement industry is still hopeful and can maintain a healthy development, otherwise, the situation of the cement industry will be very grim.
Yang Dan stressed that cement enterprises should find the right position and make rational decisions. Those enterprises with backward technology, poor economic indicators, substandard environmental protection, lack of mines and outdated ideas will withdraw from the historical stage. It is hoped that the industry can make more efforts in digitalization and low-carbon.
Yang Dan appealed that, first, all enterprises should stress honesty and pattern, large enterprises should lead correctly, small enterprises should cooperate actively, and rationally conform to the law of development. It is a very rational, brave and correct decision for some enterprises to stop; Second, it is necessary to influence policies from the perspective of healthy and sustainable development of the industry, such as stopping capacity replacement and guiding peak-shifting production with technical standards; third, it is necessary to standardize the management of the mixed industry; fourth, it is necessary to improve industry concentration.
In view of the "going out" situation of cement enterprises, Yang Dan pointed out that the international layout should be cautious, represent the image of China, and jointly maintain the local order.
Finally, Yang Dan hopes that everyone will work together to maintain the healthy development of the industry and the dignity of cement workers.
