2024-03-04 09:23:59

With the gradual improvement of the weather and the increase of downstream construction, it is expected that the cement price will fluctuate slightly stronger this week (3.4-3.8).

On March 1, the National Cement Price Index (CEMPI) closed at 107.19 points, up 0.26% from the previous month and down 22% from the previous year.

After the Lantern Festival, there were more rainy weather, poor construction sites and mixing stations, and slow recovery of market demand. However, some areas were slightly pushed up by the impact of peak staggering, environmental protection and rising costs. Generally speaking, there are few areas where cement prices are rising, and the national cement prices are rising weakly.

Correlation

In recent years, due to the influence of capital factors, the number of suspended and delayed construction projects has increased significantly, which has dragged down the demand of cement market. In 2025, with the support of a more active fiscal policy, some projects may be restarted, bringing a certain increase in demand for the cement industry.
