Recently, Fujian Cement Shunchang Stone Refining Company said that many indicators of the company broke the record, and through the formulation of a reasonable cost control program, the controllable cost was reduced by 623600 yuan compared with the budget, a decrease of 293800 yuan compared with the same period last year. The variable cost of clinker was 23.06 yuan/ton lower than the budget, 30.74 yuan/ton lower than the same period last year; the variable cost of cement was 22.36 yuan/ton lower than the budget, 24.73 yuan/ton lower than the same period last year, and the market competitiveness of cement products was effectively improved.
Industry insiders said that reducing variable costs to improve competitiveness not only reflects the real level of technical management of enterprises, but also is a wisp of fresh breeze to look inward in the current call to increase the staggered front and stop kilns. In
2023, the cement industry showed a trend of falling in both volume and price. In order to reverse the predicament, many places focused on extending the peak staggering time, trying to stabilize the market as much as possible by strictly controlling the production capacity of the supply side. However, from the overall performance of 2023, the influence of off-peak production on the market has become weaker and weaker. In the next development, market competition is inevitable, and if enterprises want to survive, they still need to make more efforts to reduce costs and energy consumption.
It is noteworthy that in 2023, the cement industry issued a number of policies that will further bring higher and stricter requirements to the production and operation of cement enterprises in terms of environmental protection, energy consumption and cost.
In addition, the main problem of the cement industry is overcapacity, and capacity removal is still the main task of the industry. Moreover, at present, the industry has gradually reached a consensus on the urgency and difficulty of capacity removal. Gao Dengbang, president of China Cement Association, said that China has about 3.56 billion tons of cement production capacity, most of which are high-end production capacity, so it will be a very painful work to reduce production capacity, but it must be carried out resolutely and resolutely, and all cement enterprises should be fully prepared.
With the accelerating pace of capacity reduction and elimination of backwardness, enterprises themselves should practice their internal skills in advance, reduce costs and increase efficiency, and meet the energy consumption standards of unit products in order to survive in the new round of reshuffle.
