At present, the cement industry is facing an extremely severe and complex situation. What should the cement industry do next? Many leaders of cement enterprises have expressed their views.
An expert who has worked in the field of building materials for a long time told China Cement Network that he agreed with the view that "the cement winter is very long and the situation will only be more severe", in this case, the cement industry should abandon its illusions and prepare to fight . Namely: recognize the reality, give up unrealistic illusions, to meet the market reshuffle. Especially in view of the existing ideas in the industry, such as the hope of unified peak staggering production policy, the expectation of ensuring corporate profits in the case of low capacity utilization, and the setting of price bottom line, the expert bluntly said that if we continue to immerse ourselves in this fantasy, the market will give enterprises a heavy blow with the fact that it is not transferred by subjective will.
The expert further analyzed that the current difficulties faced by the cement industry were largely due to missing the key window period of capacity removal, which led to the further aggravation of the actual overcapacity problem and the more prominent contradiction between supply and demand. The only way to solve the current dilemma is to use market means , that is, enterprises must actively adapt to market rules, meet challenges by enhancing their competitiveness, optimizing industrial structure and strengthening internal management or transformation, rather than trying to "manipulate" the market, "enterprises should adapt to the market, rather than trying to control the market. In fact, it can't be controlled. The expert said. In February,
our website published a report entitled " It is the best policy to solve the problem of excess cement production capacity by relying on market mechanism to eliminate the fittest", which was exchanged between leading figures in the industry and China Cement Network. The authority pointed out that in order to solve the current cement overcapacity, only by playing and relying on the market mechanism, can the market play a decisive role in the allocation of resources. Survival of the fittest, let the inefficient cement enterprises withdraw in time. Instead of using planned economy thinking, it mainly relies on administrative means, which limits the play of superior enterprises. The essence of over
capacity is the unreasonable allocation of resources. The fundamental way to solve the unreasonable allocation of resources is to give full play to the decisive role of the market in allocating resources, so as to maximize benefits and optimize efficiency. Fortunately, many people in the industry have realized that for enterprises , it is necessary to find a relatively balanced output with low energy consumption and stable quality. More attention should be paid to cost reduction, energy saving and quality improvement. For the industry , it is necessary to promote the elimination of uncompetitive backward production capacity and control production, so as to fundamentally solve the problem of overcapacity. The
cement industry must wake up quickly, abandon unrealistic illusions contrary to the law of market development, and take a more positive attitude to deal with the reality of overcapacity and intensified market competition.
