2023, due to the lack of market confidence and the deep adjustment of real estate, the competition among cement enterprises was fierce, and the industry efficiency continued to shrink; the market demand for concrete declined, and the market was easy to fall but difficult to rise; the supply of sand and gravel accelerated to be excessive, and the industry situation was grim. After
the Spring Festival, how does the building materials market recover? What is the development trend of the industry? In terms of
cement, after the Spring Festival in February, the temperature in many areas was low, the rain and snow weather was more, the construction of downstream construction sites and mixing stations was poor, and the market started slowly, which was less than the same period. In terms of supply, most areas in the north were in the stage of peak staggering in winter, and the southern provinces stopped production or reduced production around the Spring Festival, so the supply was at a low level. As for
concrete, after the Spring Festival, although some upstream raw material enterprises still have the willingness to raise prices, due to the low rate of capital arrival, the actual resumption of downstream work is slower than the same period in previous years, the demand side is difficult to support the price rise, and the concrete industry is mainly wait-and-see and stable. Prices in some areas of Shandong and Zhejiang have been slightly loosened by 5-10 yuan per square meter. Overall, the concrete market in February is in the transition stage of off-season, and the price change is not obvious. In terms of
sand and gravel, the sand and gravel market began to gradually return to the right track after the festival, and the overall performance of the national sand and gravel market was stable. The market in Northeast China, North China and Northwest China is stable and the demand is limited; the market in East China is weak and stable due to the weather; the demand recovery in Central South China is slow and the price is stable due to the rain and snow weather and multiple factors; the demand in Southwest China has not yet fully started and the price is stable. The building materials market in
2024 is organic in danger and can turn around in danger. The senior researchers of Cement Big Data Research Institute of China Cement Network will interpret the market changes from supply, demand, macro-economy and other aspects. For more details, please pay attention to the live broadcast on the APP video line of "Sharing Hui · Building Materials Observation" Cement Network on Thursday. Welcome to scan the code to make an appointment for live broadcast. How should the
cement industry get out of the predicament and face the new cycle? On March 28-29, China Cement Network will hold the " 13th China Cement Industry Summit and TOP100 Award Ceremony " in Hangzhou, during which awards will be given to top 100 cement and supplier enterprises, and experts and scholars will be invited. China Railway and other construction units jointly discuss the new development trend of the cement industry in the future, and work together to create the future!
