Weekly Report of Cement Net: The Concrete Market in North China and Hebei Is Stable and Needs Change, and the Weak Demand in Shanxi and Inner Mongolia Suppresses Prices (6.10-6.14)

China Cement Net Market Data Center News: Hebei concrete market is stable and needs to be changed, while weak demand in Shanxi and Inner Mongolia restrains prices .

Recently, under the influence of multiple factors such as the implementation of the new national standard for cement, environmental protection control and traffic control, the cost of raw materials such as cement, mineral powder and sand in the concrete market in Hebei has increased sharply, the cost of concrete production has risen accordingly, and enterprises have a strong willingness to raise prices. Despite the increasing cost pressure, the price of concrete in Hebei remained relatively stable, mainly due to insufficient new demand in the market, and some mixing stations suffered from tight supply of stock projects and shortage of new orders. Considering the superposition of seasonal factors such as high school entrance examination, high temperature rain and summer harvest, it is expected that the concrete shipment volume in Hebei will remain weak next week. Enterprises in Beijing and Tianjin also showed the intention of price adjustment.

At the same time, the cement market in Shanxi and Inner Mongolia is also affected by multiple factors such as college entrance examination, Dragon Boat Festival and high temperature, and the demand performance is weak. Although the price of cement was raised in Shanxi, it was not actually implemented, and the market demand and sales continued to be poor. In order to promote sales, some enterprises in Taiyuan have slightly lowered the price of cement. Although cement enterprises in Datong and Shuozhou announced a price increase of 50 yuan/ton, the demand has not improved significantly due to the shortage of market funds and the lack of engineering projects, which makes it difficult for concrete prices to rise. Most cement manufacturers in Inner Mongolia are shutting down their kilns. Due to the limited increase in cement prices and weak demand, the space for concrete prices to rise is limited, and the market as a whole remains stable. On the whole, the cement and concrete market in Shanxi and Inner Mongolia is facing the challenge of insufficient demand, and the price adjustment is limited.
