Lu Yanchun said that overcapacity and shrinking demand are the main contradictions in the current development of the cement industry.

On March 29, the "2024 13th China Cement Industry Summit Main Forum and TOP100 Award Ceremony" was held grandly. At the meeting, Lu Yanchun, Director of the Price Cost and Certification Center of the National Development and Reform Commission, made an important speech.

He said that overcapacity and shrinking demand are the main contradictions in the current development of the cement industry.

In response to these difficulties, Lu Yanchun proposed that we must implement the new development concept, adhere to the synergy between supply and demand, strengthen the expected management, and continue to deepen the supply-side reform. We will achieve green development through clean and low-carbon transformation, eliminate polluting and backward production capacity, speed up digital and intelligent empowerment, promote the industry to reduce costs, improve quality and increase efficiency, and actively expand the demand market. Give full play to the advantages of China's super-large-scale market, fully explore new market demand, and actively expand overseas markets to eliminate excess capacity.
