In this difficult period, how can the building materials industry find a turning point?

In the

past 2023, nearly half of the 41 industrial sectors in China have experienced a decline in revenue, and 40% of the enterprises have experienced a decline in profits. Among them, the revenue of the building materials industry fell by 7.4%, ranking second, and the profit fell by 26%, ranking fourth.

The Work Program for Steady Growth of Building Materials Industry mentions that the target of industrial added value growth of building materials industry in 2024 is 4%. Can this goal be achieved? In this difficult period, how can the building materials industry find a turning point? In terms of

cement, affected by the continuous adjustment of real estate, the development of cement industry will continue to decline in 2023. In the first quarter, the downstream work resumption was still good, and the overall demand was better than the same period; in the second and third quarters, "the peak season was not strong, and the off-season was weaker", the demand weakened significantly, coupled with the fierce market competition, the cement price continued to decline; in the fourth quarter, the weak demand recovered, and the cement price rose slightly. In

2024, what will be the development trend of demand, supply, market and benefit of cement industry? In terms of

concrete, in 2023, the concrete market was easy to fall and difficult to rise. At the end of the year, the concrete price index closed at 124.79 points, with a cumulative decline of 11.54%. The average annual price of C30 concrete dropped to 416.88 yuan per square meter, with a year-on-year decline of 9.21%. Can the performance of the commercial mixed market improve in the

new year? In terms of

sand and gravel, the overall price of domestic sand and gravel will be weak in 2023. In the first quarter, the market demand was not strong, the price of sand and gravel first fell and then rose, and the overall market was stable. In the second and third quarters, the overall market demand for building materials was weak. Although the resumption of production was accelerated and the number of new projects was increased, the overall market of sand and gravel was depressed due to factors such as capital shortage and insufficient construction of real estate; In the fourth quarter, the market officially entered the traditional peak season, but the demand did not rise as scheduled, and the price of sand and gravel did not rebound significantly.

Looking forward to 2024, how should sand and gravel enterprises act in order to achieve development?

Recently, due to the persistent cost pressure in the south, the price of concrete has risen slightly with the raw materials, but the growth of market demand is limited, and the overall quotation is still stable.
