China Cement Network recently conducted an online survey on some sand and gravel enterprises:
I. Enterprise A (location: northern Anhui):
According to the latest survey data, the ex-factory price of gravel of Enterprise A is maintained in the range of 60 to 65 yuan/ton. During the month, the market price adjustment was more frequent, with a fluctuation range of about 5 yuan/ton. Compared with the same period last year, the price trend is basically flat. The annual production capacity of aggregate production line of enterprise
A is as high as 11 million tons, and the normal monthly average shipment volume is stable between 80 and 1 million tons. However, in view of the current low season in the market, the actual monthly shipments decreased to 600000 to 700000 tons. The company's sales are mainly concentrated in northern Anhui, mainly for domestic sales, the main means of transport is trucks, and its market radiation range is roughly within 100 kilometers. On
the downstream side, the demand for sand and gravel aggregates in the area where Enterprise A is located is mainly for infrastructure projects such as roads and bridges. In recent years, with the increase of new highway projects, the market demand is relatively stable. Recently, due to factors such as high school entrance examination, college entrance examination and continuous rain weather, the operating rate of downstream mixing stations has declined, and the market demand has shown a weak trend. Rain weather is expected to continue until late August, the market is still in the off-season demand, the possibility of a recent price rebound is small.
II. Enterprise B (location: Jinan, Shandong):
In the past two years, the infrastructure projects in Shandong have been reduced, resulting in a decline in the demand for aggregates. According to the latest survey data, the current price of 13 stones in B enterprise is 48 yuan/ton, and the price of 12 stones is 53 yuan/ton, which is 5% lower than the same period last year.
The company has an aggregate production line with an annual output of 5 million tons in Shandong Province, and its annual capacity utilization rate is stable at 70%, and its operation is relatively stable. In the peak market season (June to September), the company's average daily aggregate shipments can reach 15000 tons, while in the off-season (March to May, and October to December), the average daily shipments are maintained between 8000 and 10000 tons.
