Looking forward to 2025, we believe that the demand for cement will continue to decline under the background that the real estate has not yet stabilized and the infrastructure is limited, but the industry's awareness of "anti-involution" will continue to increase, coupled with the current good start, it is expected that the average price of cement will rise slightly, and the industry's profits will be restored to a certain extent.

In

2024, affected by the continuous bottoming of real estate investment, the decline of infrastructure highway and municipal investment, the demand for cement continued to decline last year, the contradiction between supply and demand continued to intensify, and the focus of cement price continued to move down. In the first quarter, the downstream resumption of work was poor, and the price went down all the way. After entering the second quarter, the peak season was not prosperous, but the industry's awareness of self-help was strengthened, self-discipline and peak staggering were strengthened, and cement prices rebounded steadily. In the third quarter, the off-season was weaker and the market weakened again. In the fourth quarter, the intensity of peak staggering increased, and cement prices continued to rise. Cement production hit a new low since 2010, with both volume and price falling, and industry profits falling sharply. Looking forward to 2025, we believe that the demand for cement will continue to decline under the background that the real estate has not yet stabilized and the infrastructure is limited, but the industry's awareness of "anti-involution" will continue to increase, coupled with the current good start, it is expected that the average price of cement will rise slightly, and the industry's profits will be restored to a certain extent.

In 2023, affected by the continuous adjustment of real estate, the development of cement industry continued to decline. In the first quarter, the downstream work resumption was still good, and the overall demand was better than 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. Overall, in 2023, cement production hit a new low in nearly 13 years, although the focus of coal prices has moved down, but the decline in cement prices is deeper, and industry profits have shrunk sharply. Looking forward to 2024, we believe that the drag of real estate on cement demand will be weakened, cement production may decline slightly, cement price center will move down under the pressure of overcapacity, and industry efficiency is hard to say optimistic.
