On February 26, the "2025 China Large-scale Ready-mixed Concrete Enterprise Leaders Meeting (C10 + Summit)" was held in Changsha, Hunan Province. Gao Zhi, Secretary-General of China Concrete and Cement Products Association, made a report on the meeting.
Gao Zhi pointed out that according to the data of key commercial mixing enterprises continuously investigated by China Concrete and Cement Products Association (about 30 enterprises, which are divided into key enterprises and top ten enterprises according to comparable caliber). It can be seen that:
1. From 2018 to 2021, the capacity utilization rate increased steadily;
2. Since 2022, the average capacity utilization rate of key enterprises is only 27.6%, and that of the top ten enterprises is 26%, which is more than 10 percentage points lower than that in 2021;
3. In 2023, the two sets of data have a slight increase, of which: 28.4% for key enterprises, an increase of 0.83 percentage points over the previous year; 27.3% for the top ten enterprises, an increase of 0.74 percentage points over the previous year; the capacity utilization rate of three enterprises is more than 50% (the highest is more than 85%);
4. The data of 2024 is still in statistics, but if we look at the design capacity of the whole industry, the average capacity utilization rate of the industry is only about 16.6%. Production concentration
of ready-mixed concrete industry:
in terms of output, the output concentration of the top 10 enterprises in 2023 was only 10.7% (the total output was 286 million cubic meters, an increase of 12% over the previous year). The output data of some enterprises in
2024 has not yet been released. According to the preliminary calculation results, the output concentration of the top 10 enterprises is expected to be 11.5%, which is higher than that of the previous year and is the best year in recent years (it can be seen that the leading enterprises have strong competitiveness in the market, and this round of industrial adjustment is conducive to the further improvement of industry concentration). Compared
with the industry inside and outside, the industrial concentration of ready-mixed concrete industry is still very low, and there is more room for improvement (TOP10: prefabricated component industry 10-15%, PCC industry about 70%, prefabricated pile industry 66%, admixture industry 20%, 60% in the cement industry).
