Recently, driven by multiple factors such as rising cement costs and peak staggering, cement enterprises in the three northeastern provinces and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region have sharply pushed up cement prices by up to 90 yuan/ton. In addition, cement enterprises in Jiangxi and Yunnan notified an increase in cement prices by 20-50 yuan/ton. According to market feedback
in Northeast China
, the implementation of the new national standard on June 1 led to an increase of about 30 yuan/ton in the cost of cement. In addition, in June, the kiln in Northeast China was shut down again for 15 days, and the clinker inventory remained low.
In order to improve profitability, major enterprises in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces have notified an increase of 80-90 yuan/ton in cement prices since 28-30 days. In addition, it is reported that the current round of planned increase in Liaoning is 50-60 yuan/ton. Since the end of
April, Northeast China has repeatedly pushed up cement prices, and the implementation of this round of price increases remains to be further tracked and observed. According to the feedback from the market in
the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region
, the cost of cement production has been rising due to the recent continuous rise in the price of coal, the main raw material for cement, and the implementation of the new national standard for cement. In addition, the region plans to stagger the peak and shut down the kiln for about 10 days in June, and the price of clinker has also been raised.
In order to improve profitability, some enterprises in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region notified an increase of 80 yuan/ton in cement price on June 1, and the rest of the industry followed up one after another. The implementation of this round of price increases needs further follow-up and observation. According to market feedback in
Yunnan
, cement prices in some areas of Yunnan have dropped to a low level in the early stage, and most enterprises are operating at a loss. With the implementation of the new national standard, the cost of cement production has increased, and enterprises have a strong willingness to raise prices. Since the
28th, leading enterprises in most parts of the province have notified an increase in cement prices of about 30-50 yuan/ton.
At present, the overall market demand and sales in the province are relatively low, and the implementation of this round of increase remains to be observed. According to market feedback in
Jiangxi
, production costs are rising due to rising raw material prices. In order to increase profits, leading enterprises in Shangrao, Jingdezhen and Yingtan areas in northeastern Jiangxi Province notified an increase in cement prices ranging from 20-30 yuan/ton on the 27th.
At present, the market demand and sales are weak, and the specific implementation remains to be observed. According to market feedback in
Sichuan
, the recent rise in the price of raw materials such as coal and the implementation of the new national standard have led to an increase in the cost of cement production, coupled with the rising prices in the surrounding markets. In order to increase profits, leading enterprises in Leshan, Ya'an and Meishan areas plan to raise cement prices by 30-50 yuan/ton on the 31st. At present, some enterprises have issued an increase notice, and the implementation remains to be observed.
In addition, it is understood that since late May, cement enterprises in Zhejiang, Jiangsu and other regions have pushed up cement prices again, with an increase of 20 to 50 yuan per ton. According to
the industry, the main reasons for the rise in cement prices in many places in this round are as follows: 1. Cement prices have been at the cost line in the early stage, and cement enterprises have a strong willingness to raise prices and reduce losses; 2. Most regions continue to carry out peak-shifting production measures, and the relationship between supply and demand in the market has improved; 3. The new national standard for cement will be implemented on June 1, and the implementation of the new national standard will increase the production cost of cement.
