On June 26, the "2024 Conference on High Quality Development of Cement Industry" was held in Wuhan, and Gao Dengbang, President of China Cement Association, made an important speech at the conference.
Gao Dengbang said that in 2023, the cement industry realized a profit of more than 30 billion yuan, but after deducting aggregates, many enterprises are losing money. Not only cement enterprises, but also the project opportunities and benefits of equipment technology suppliers, including upstream and downstream supporting enterprises, are greatly affected by the downturn of industry benefits, compared with previous years.
Gao Dengbang believes that in the face of the current industry situation, the industry must objectively analyze the current situation, sum up the development experience in recent years, and find out the way forward.
Gao Dengbang also pointed out that the domestic demand for cement is still about 2 billion tons. The reason for the current situation of the industry is that the self-restraint of the industry enterprises is not good. Under such circumstances, no matter how large the volume is, it is useless. The current predicament of the industry is largely caused by the industry itself.
In the process of industry development, as a cement worker, we should constantly improve our management ability and the ability to control the development of the industry.
Gao Dengbang finally pointed out that it is very important to enhance confidence at present, and only with confidence can enterprises form a good competitive and cooperative relationship and effectively control the market.
