Cement prices may rise along the high-speed railway from Zhangzhou, Fujian to Shantou, Guangdong

Recently, the Zhangzhou-Shantou high-speed railway construction activities were held simultaneously in Shantou, Guangdong and Zhangzhou, Fujian.

With the rapid development of China's economy, the construction of transportation infrastructure has become an important support to promote regional coordinated development. As an important part of the national "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway main corridor, the construction of Zhangzhou-Shantou high-speed railway will further improve the southeast coastal high-speed railway corridor, accelerate the connection between Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Guangdong-Fujian-Zhejiang urban agglomeration, and have a far-reaching impact on regional economic and social development.

High-speed railway construction is a large-scale infrastructure project, which requires a large number of high-quality cement for roadbed, bridges, tunnels, stations and other projects. Therefore, after the commencement of construction, the cement market demand along the line and the surrounding areas will increase substantially. In the short term, due to the concentrated release of demand, cement prices along the high-speed railway and surrounding areas may show an upward trend.
