According to China Cement Net Market Data Center, this week, cement in southwest China as a whole is in a game pattern of pushing up under the cost support. Sichuan and Chongqing are mixed, and Yunnan and Guizhou are concentrated on starting to push up the price. However, the terminal demand in the whole region is weak, the implementation of enterprise price increase is divided, and the actual effect of transaction landing remains to be observed.

2026-10-23 17:23:14

According to the China Cement Network Market Data Center, this week, the cement market in central and southern China as a whole showed a strong sentiment of pushing up, but the pattern of landing differentiation was obvious. Despite the high cost and off-peak production driving enterprises frequently shouting up, due to the weak terminal demand and the pressure of capital repayment, the actual transmission to the downstream concrete sector is generally blocked, and the market mostly maintains a weak and stable situation.

2026-10-23 17:19:20

According to China Cement Network Market Data Center, this week, the cement market in East China continued the main logic of "cost-driven, full-line push up, landing differentiation". Since the 17th, major enterprises in large areas such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui and Jiangxi have promoted the second round of general increase of 15-30 yuan/ton, and the landing has yet to be verified. The Shandong region sent a letter calling for an increase of 50-80 yuan/ton, but only 20-40 yuan/ton was actually partially cashed.

2026-10-23 17:13:00

According to the big data of China Cement Network, on October 22, the Central Plains Cement Price Index rose 2.06 points from the previous trading day, closing at 304.01 points, an increase of 0.68%, ranking first in all regions of the country, about 13 times the increase of the national index (0.05%) in the same period, while East China (0.34%) and the Yangtze River (0.05%) lagged behind.

Major matters should be reported to the Party Central Committee and the State Council in a timely manner.

2026-10-23 15:58:24

Sichuan: This week, the overall supply and demand of the concrete market in Sichuan and Chongqing are weak, the demand side continues to be weak, the cost transmission of cement is not smooth, the overall price of commercial concrete is stable, the local fine-tuning is small, and the transactions are mainly scattered orders just needed.

2026-10-23 15:54:52

Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and Anhui: The high price of raw materials and fuels raised the bottom line of the cost, and the fine weather and the schedule of some key projects led to a seasonal rebound in demand.

2026-10-23 15:18:01

Cement enterprises have production capacity and channels, but what they lack is not hardware, but the idea of turning production capacity into products. The road of fluid solidified soil upgrades cement from "selling materials at a low price" to "selling schemes at a high price"-breaking the situation does not necessarily have to wait for others to quit first, but also can go out first.

2026-10-23 15:02:54

On October 23, the National Concrete Price Index (CEMPI) closed at 86.76 points, down 0.13% annually and 4.88% year-on-year.

The AI bubble in the United States is at a high level of volatility, and there is a risk that it will soon burst. The leading semiconductor companies in South Korea and Taiwan, China, have pulled back sharply. The bursting of the bubble is obviously bad for the real estate in the United States, which will bring about the adjustment of housing prices and construction demand; for the real estate in China, which is already at the bottom, it will open up the space for policy easing and bring structural repair opportunities. In the cement industry, China should seize the weak recovery window of real estate to promote joint restructuring and improve the profitability of the industry; overseas investment should not blindly build new projects to avoid the impact of global demand caused by the bursting of the AI bubble, and wait patiently for the bubble to clear and the real application scenarios of AI to erupt before choosing.

Not too late.

2026-10-20 18:05:06

In the short term, the high cost of raw materials and fuels is still the main support for the upward price, and the better weather is also conducive to the moderate recovery of demand; however, this round is mostly the second round of pushing up within a month, and the actual transaction of the last round of small factories in Jiangsu is only 10-20 yuan/ton, and the increase of cooling and rainfall in the latter half of the year and the recovery of demand are still limited, so the landing range is likely to be discounted.

2026-10-20 15:35:27

We should govern low-price and disorderly competition in accordance with the law and regulations, improve the supporting rules of industry cost investigation and stop low-price dumping, and strengthen price law enforcement and supervision.

2026-10-20 10:38:32

For enterprises, the most direct change is that selling below cost has changed from an industry initiative to a legal constraint. In the past, when the association issued a proposal to resist low prices, there was no coercive force; now that there are cost surveys and price inspections, enterprises that take the lead in low prices have to face actual law enforcement.
