High temperature and rainy weather are frequent, and the market demand is weak. At the same time, some enterprises grab the volume at a low price, and the market competition is fierce, resulting in a fall in prices. In the first half of this year, some enterprises "involution" vicious competition, the cement industry has repeatedly encountered a wave of price cuts, the peak season is not prosperous, the off-season is weaker. In the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other domestic hot markets, the price of cement has been less than 200 yuan/ton.

Recently, the price of cement in Chongqing has been reduced by 20-30 yuan/ton. Since late June, cement prices in the main urban area of Chongqing have continued to fall, with a cumulative decline of more than 100 yuan per ton.

Coincidentally, in recent years, many places in Sichuan, such as Chengdu-Demian, Leyamei, Ganzi, Yibin, Nanchong, Suining and Guang'an, have lowered cement prices by 10-30 yuan/ton . Since July, the cumulative decline has been about 50-60 yuan/ton, and the decline in some regions has exceeded 60 yuan/ton. At the beginning of

August, the price of cement in many places in the two lakes was also lowered , such as the price of cement in Yiyang, Hunan was lowered by 20-30 yuan/ton, the price of cement in Hengyang, Hunan was lowered by 30 yuan/ton, and the price of cement in Enshi, Hubei was lowered by 20 yuan/ton.

High temperature and rainy weather are frequent, and the market demand is weak. At the same time, some enterprises grab the volume at a low price, and the market competition is fierce, resulting in a fall in prices. In the

first half of this year, some enterprises "involution" vicious competition , the cement industry has repeatedly encountered a wave of price cuts, the peak season is not prosperous, the off-season is weaker. In the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and other domestic hot markets, the price of cement has been less than 200 yuan/ton. The result of market chaos is that the overall interests of the industry are damaged. Relevant data show that the industry lost about 1.2 billion yuan in the first half of the year, with sales falling by 11%.

Cement Big Data Research Institute said that looking forward to the second half of the year, the demand for cement will improve annually, coupled with the enhanced self-discipline awareness of enterprises and the strong desire to recover prices, it is expected that there will still be room for cement prices to rise, but due to the overall shortage of demand and overcapacity, the price rebound may be limited.

Faced with the challenges of overcapacity and industry downturn, practitioners should actively respond to the call of the state to "strengthen industry self-discipline and prevent" involution "vicious competition", spare no effort to maintain the industry ecology, and jointly help the cement industry return to the correct development track of benign competition.

Cement Net Report: Pakistan's Cement Exports Soar, But Domestic Demand Continues to Be Weak

In the first ten months of this fiscal year (2024.7-2025.4), Pakistan's cement export volume increased by nearly 29% year-on-year to 7.4 million tons, but the overall shipment volume only slightly decreased by 0.32% to 37.336 million tons, mainly due to the sluggish domestic demand. Domestic sales fell by 5.55% and export volume increased by 28.77%. In April 2025, the total shipment volume increased by 13.24% compared with the same period last year. APCMA called on the government to introduce measures to stimulate domestic construction activities. The cement industry in Pakistan is affected by the economy and cost, and relies on exports to digest production capacity.

Cement net exclusive: 4500 tons/day PK 8500 tons/day! "Criticizing the small and building the big" is too outrageous.

Whether the replacement scheme of the cement clinker production line project in Guizhou Province to supplement 6833t/d production capacity can really achieve the unification of the registered production capacity and the actual production capacity seems not very convincing!
