Although the second quarter has always been the usual period of the peak season of cement market demand, the actual demand this year has not shown the expected strong trend and appears to be relatively depressed. In view of this, in order to effectively cope with the pressure of excess supply caused by weak market demand, the cement industry in many provinces has taken the initiative to extend peak staggering production.

According to the previous release of China Cement Network, since the end of peak staggering production in the heating season, the overall demand for cement in the northern region has been sluggish, and clinker stocks have continued to rise. In this regard, from April to May this year, cement enterprises in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and Henan provinces stopped kilns one after another. This has hardly happened in the past.

According to the survey, due to the slow progress of the project and insufficient downstream demand, some cement enterprises are facing the problem of full storage and kiln shutdown as soon as they start construction. Even some enterprises in Hebei, Shandong and other places did not open kilns at all in the first quarter.

It is understood that although the second quarter has always been the usual period of cement market demand peak season, the actual demand this year has not shown the expected strong trend, appears to be relatively low. In view of this, in order to effectively cope with the pressure of excess supply caused by weak market demand, the cement industry in many provinces has taken the initiative to extend peak staggering production. Peak staggering in

some provinces in the second quarter is as follows:

Shanxi Province began to implement peak staggering for 20 days

on April 16, Jilin Province increased peak staggering production for 30 days

from April to May, Heilongjiang Province increased peak staggering production for 30 days from April to May, central and western Inner Mongolia From April 1 to April 30

, Jiangsu Province increased peak staggering production for 20 days

from April to May, Zhejiang Province increased peak staggering production for 20 days from April to May, Anhui Province around Chaohu Lake, From April to May in Xuancheng area, 20 days

of off-peak production will be added. From April to May in Jiangxi Province, the off-peak production will not be less than 15 days

. From April 20 to May 10 in Shandong Province, 20 days

of off-peak production will be added. From April 10 in Henan Province, 20 days

of off-peak production will be added. In April, Hebei Province added 10 days

of off-peak production. In the second quarter, Hunan Province produced 50 days

of off-peak production. In Chongqing City, 15 days

of off-peak production. In Sichuan Province, 14 days

of off-peak production. In the second quarter, Guizhou Province produced 60 days of off-peak production. 0 HTML0 UNK2 1 Yunnan Province, the second quarter off-peak production 45 days 0 HTML 0 UNK2 2 Gansu Province, the end of April to increase off-peak production 45 days 0 HTML 0 UNK2 3.. Facing the severe market situation, some insiders pointed out that peak staggering production is the only way to improve the serious imbalance between supply and demand in the current cement industry. Only by enhancing confidence and resolutely staggering peak, can we consolidate the foundation and improve the current situation of enterprise operation, and further improve the air quality in the region and cement industry through energy saving and emission reduction. Promote the high-quality development of cement industry. 0HTML0UNK25
