According to China Cement Market Data Center, the cement markets in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong and Fujian are facing challenges to varying degrees in the near future. Due to the impact of rain weather in
Zhejiang, the market demand is general, the shipment volume is about 6-7%, and some manufacturers reduce the price of cement in order to promote sales. The overall market demand in
Jiangsu has not improved significantly, with shipments hovering at 4-6% of normal production capacity. Manufacturers in southern Jiangsu have reduced prices for promotion, while the markets in northern and central Jiangsu are expected to face a downward trend. Demand
in Anhui continued to be depressed, clinker inventory was high, clinker prices along the Yangtze River declined, cement prices continued to be lowered in some areas, and the market competition was strong. With the efficient operation of clinker production lines
in Shandong and the accumulation of inventory, the market price was slightly lowered, and the price of high-grade bulk cement in Jinan, Zaozhuang and other places was under pressure. Major enterprises in
Fujian have raised the price of cement, but the recent rainy weather has increased, the market demand is not good, the shipment volume of enterprises is low, and the follow-up price maintenance situation remains to be seen. Cement prices in
Jiangxi are now stable after rising at the end of July, and the shipments of many enterprises remain at about 5-6% of the normal level.
On the whole, under the pressure of weak demand and inventory, prices have fallen in many places in East China.
