Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions: cement market prices in some regions continued to show a downward trend, especially in Shanghai and Zhejiang markets, where demand for new projects was scarce. The overall shipment volume mainly depends on the continuous support of old projects, the market demand is weak, and the competitive environment is becoming increasingly fierce. In this context, some enterprises have to adopt low-price strategy to maintain market share, resulting in an unhealthy price war in the whole market, and the overall market situation is worrying.

Anhui region: With the gradual improvement of the weather, new projects in some regions began to start one after another, which brought a little warmth to the concrete market. As a result, the shipment volume increased slightly. However, some regions were affected by the surrounding areas, and there was a decline in the week, but it did not affect the mainstream market. However, it is worth noting that the current market is still facing the severe challenge of shortage of funds, and the demand growth of new start-up projects has not formed a strong support, which will limit the further development of the market to a certain extent. Therefore, the industry is generally cautiously optimistic about the trend of Anhui concrete market in the later period, and it is expected that the market will show a stable and weak trend.

Shandong area: Although the weather is mainly sunny recently, the temperature also shows a gradual downward trend, which provides more suitable conditions for outdoor construction, but unfortunately, the market demand is still relatively weak. Against this background, concrete prices in various regions have generally fallen to varying degrees this week, showing the imbalance between supply and demand in the market and the challenges facing the industry.

Fujian: Affected by the recent rainy weather in Fujian, the market demand is weak, and the shipment volume of commercial mixing enterprises is stable with a slight decline.
