5、 Cement Net Monthly Report: Staggered Peak Production Support, Strong Market Trend! （9.1-9.30）
This paper mainly analyzes the national cement market in September 2024, and points out that peak staggering and production reduction support the cement price and make the market trend stronger. Despite the decline in real estate investment, insufficient infrastructure funds and the impact of natural disasters in some areas, which led to low demand, cement prices as a whole showed an upward trend due to the implementation of the policy of peak staggering and production reduction, especially in the Yangtze River Delta region.
