2024-05-07 09:15:30

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

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
