On March 24, Chairman Shao Jun of China Cement Network and Chairman Ma Weiping of OCC visited Zhejiang Jianfeng Group Co., Ltd. and were warmly received by Jiang Xiaomeng, Party Secretary and Chairman of Jianfeng Group, and Yu Jianhong, General Manager of Jianfeng Group. The two sides had in-depth exchanges on the development trend of the cement industry.
Jiang Xiaomeng pointed out in the exchange that the current cement industry is facing a severe development situation, with serious overcapacity, continuous decline in demand and intensified market competition. In order to effectively cope with these challenges, the cement industry should focus on the following three aspects:
First, gather industry consensus and unify thinking and cognition. Enterprises in the industry should be fully aware of the importance of win-win cooperation, promote in-depth exchanges and communication among enterprises, avoid vicious competition, and work together to promote the healthy and orderly development of the industry; Second, it is necessary for relevant departments to thoroughly investigate the impact of imported clinker on the domestic cement industry, and reasonably impose tariffs on imported clinker according to the actual situation, so as to create a good market environment for the industry; Third, small and medium-sized enterprises should be honest: small and medium-sized enterprises occupy an important position in the cement industry, should strictly abide by market rules, actively participate in market coordination, and jointly safeguard the interests of the industry.

Jianhong said that cement is a product of rigid demand, the industry will always exist, and the current industry development is in a dilemma. At present, the industry needs to recognize that rigid demand has always existed. In order to achieve common prosperity of enterprises, we must first change our perception and pattern. Large enterprises should constantly enlarge their minds and small enterprises should have a bottom line. The cement industry ultimately needs to develop through integration and merger, but this cycle will be longer. Yu Jianhong, general manager
of Jianfeng Group, chief analyst of
China Cement Network Cement Big Data Research Institute, made the latest cement research report. Zheng Jianhui predicts that the national cement demand will be 1.7-1.73 billion tons in 2025, a decrease of 5% -8%. Industry self-help has more advantages than disadvantages for leading enterprises. From the enterprise level, there are several points worthy of attention in 2025. 1. When the price continues to fall, it will generally have a negative impact on profits. 2. Some state-owned enterprises and central enterprises with higher costs will be the first to face major losses. 3. Some private enterprises will be in trouble, but more private enterprises can adopt a more flexible survival mechanism. 4. Cash flow is more important than profits.
The two sides had in-depth exchanges on the development trend of cement industry in 2025, big data of building materials industry, ChatCEM and other related contents. During the exchange, the two sides agreed that they would further communicate closely in the future, actively explore the path of coordinated development in relevant business areas, and work together to achieve win-win cooperation.
