In view of the increasingly severe market situation in Wuhan, the phenomenon of malicious low-price competition in the industry is frequent, the sales price is constantly breaking through the bottom line, and the enterprises are facing a full-line loss state. In order to give full play to the leading role of leading enterprises, strengthen the industry self-discipline convention, and abide by the operating standards, on the afternoon of June 13, Wuhan Concrete Association organized a symposium on market operation analysis of more than ten key enterprises in Wuhan Shenghuaxin Building Materials Co., Ltd. to analyze the market situation of the industry, study the industry response measures, unify ideas, reach consensus and work hand in hand to get out of the current predicament.
At the meeting, Secretary-General Yang Lili conveyed the work report on "Current Situation and Prospect of the Development of the National Ready-mixed Concrete Industry" at the National Conference on the Development of the Ready-mixed Concrete Industry held by the China Concrete and Cement Products Association in Ji Nan on June 4, and briefed the production and operation of the industry in Wuhan in the first five months of this year. In recent months, the industry has strongly reflected the serious deviation between the current information guidance price and the actual sales price in Wuhan. Since 2024, the information price of the concrete market in Wuhan has been declining all the way, coupled with insufficient market demand, resulting in a general decline in both volume and price of concrete production enterprises, and the industry is in a situation of large-scale losses. Therefore, in the context of the current transformation of the industry to high-quality development, on the one hand, the industry should strengthen self-discipline and resolutely resist the low-price competition; on the other hand, it is suggested that the functional departments of the municipal government should moderately adjust the pricing mechanism of Wuhan concrete information guidance price, seek the predictability and regularity of the pricing mechanism, and give enterprises a benign development space.
In 2025, due to the continued weakness of the construction and real estate industries in Wuhan, the output of concrete continued to decline in the first half of this year, the price went down all the way, the overall downward trend of the industry remained unchanged, the demand was extremely shrinking, the serious overcapacity led to the increasingly prominent contradiction between supply and demand, the increasingly serious competition among enterprises in order to survive at low prices, and more than half of the enterprises were at a loss. A small number of enterprises are in a flat or low-profit state. Market changes show the following characteristics and contradictions: First, the serious overcapacity and the sharp shrinkage of the market are the main contradictions in the current industry. Due to the lack of new projects, there are more monks and less porridge, and the malicious low-price competition is fierce. Second, the industry lacks self-discipline, and the involution phenomenon is serious. Since last year, the actual sales price in Wuhan has dropped by 40%, and enterprises have trampled on each other seriously. Third, the market operation risk has continued to increase, and the market operation environment has not improved. On the one hand, the relevant policies of the Regulations on Guaranteeing Payment of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises have not yet landed in the concrete industry, and the effectiveness of the policies has not yet appeared. On the other hand, with the continuous improvement of the concrete market, most large construction enterprises continue to abuse their dominant position in the market and use overbearing clauses to suppress concrete enterprises, resulting in serious capital occupation, increasing liquidity risk and aggravating the survival crisis of enterprises. In the face of the bad market situation, the leaders of the key enterprises spoke freely. On the one hand, they analyzed the current market situation in Wuhan, and worked together to reach a consensus regardless of the past. On the other hand, they exchanged and learned from each other's good experiences and practices, sought common ground while reserving differences, held a group to keep warm, and moved forward hand in hand. It is agreed that under the leadership of the association, key enterprises should play a leading role, raise awareness, abandon confrontation, seek dialogue, reach consensus, and lead enterprises out of the current predicament.
Finally, President Yan Shengjun requested that, first, all key enterprises should lead the healthy and benign development of the industry, and in the face of the downturn of the industry, everyone should adjust their mentality, reduce future expectations, and create a good industry ecology; second, they should establish a good communication mechanism, strengthen regional coordination, and strengthen the industry self-discipline convention; Third, in the critical period of the industry reshuffle, the association set up a platform to facilitate the merger, reorganization and integration of the industry, improve the industry concentration, and promote the healthy development of the industry.
