Recently, some manufacturers in Tibet have raised the price of cement. What is the main reason for the price increase? How is the current recovery of the cement market in Tibet? China Cement Network has exchanged with the relevant leaders of several local cement enterprises.
During the exchange, we learned that the enterprises that raised the price only adjusted the price of their internal projects, and did not adjust them externally. However, the price of cement in other areas of Tibet has not changed for the time being, most enterprises are still stopping kilns at the wrong peak, and the whole market is in its infancy.
"Our factory's price increase is a price adjustment for internal projects, not for the market." A person in charge of an enterprise in Xigaze said that the market has been gradually recovering, and cement shipments have increased slightly over the same period last year. Enterprises are shutting down kilns for maintenance, and other cement enterprises in Tibet have basically stopped production in the first quarter, except for the co-disposal of cement kilns by individual manufacturers. A cement enterprise
in Lhasa said that the demand for cement has just started, many construction sites have not been opened, and the cement shipment volume of the enterprise is not much, about 1000 tons per day, which is expected to return to normal level in May. Due to the requirement of Tibet in the first quarter, all of them are required to stop production at the wrong peak, so our factory has a low inventory.
"Now is the off-season, enterprises are stopping kilns at the wrong peak, and the market has not changed." An industry insider in Shannan said that at present, people have returned to Tibet one after another, and the market has gradually started.
Talking about the trend of cement market in Tibet in 2024, an industry insider said that the investment in fixed assets in Tibet in 2024 is expected to increase by about 13% compared with 2023, and the market demand is better. We are confident about 2024. However, this also needs to be based on the strict implementation of peak staggering production by local cement enterprises.
At present, the national market demand is shrinking and the profitability is weakening. How should cement enterprises spend their time? What challenges and opportunities will we face in the future?
On March 28-29, China Cement Network will hold the " 13th China Cement Industry Summit and TOP100 Award Ceremony " in Hangzhou, which will invite experts and scholars, China Railway and other construction units to discuss the new trend of future cement industry development and cohesion. Create the future together! At the meeting, Li Kunming of the Cement Big Data Research Institute will give a brilliant speech on the development trend of the cement industry. Hurry up to sign up!
