Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai: Recently, the concrete market in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai continues to be weak. Cement prices in the region continued to bottom out, combined with high temperature and rainy weather to inhibit construction, the overall demand remained weak. The market is in the game stage of "weak reality and strong expectation", and in the short term, insufficient demand still puts pressure on concrete prices.
Anhui: This week, the concrete market in Anhui maintained a weak situation, and the quotation in some markets was slightly lowered due to competitive pressure. On the demand side, due to the sluggish market performance, the shipments of commercial mixing enterprises remained low, resulting in intensified price competition in some regions, and the overall market showed a stable and weak trend. In the short run, if the demand side has not improved significantly and the cost of raw materials is insufficient, the price of concrete in Anhui will continue to bear pressure and maintain a weak and volatile pattern.
Fujian: Since the middle of the year, the rainy weather in Fujian has increased, the financial pressure and other factors have hindered the downstream construction progress, and the demand for construction sites has recovered slowly. In order to maintain market share, some mixing station enterprises in the province have increased their efforts to return secretly, which has led to more intense market competition and continued downward pressure on market prices in many places. Overall, during the high incidence of typhoons in July-August, Fujian's demand downturn may be maintained until around September before prices are expected to recover.
Jiangxi: This week, the price of concrete in Jiangxi continued to be weak and stable, and the overall price was still in a low range, with limited fluctuations. From the cost side, the price of raw materials such as cement and sand is low, and the supporting effect on the cost of concrete is not obvious. With the extension of the capital repayment cycle and other factors, the willingness of enterprises to adjust prices is generally low, and most of them are based on stable price shipments. It is expected that the concrete market in Jiangxi will maintain a pattern of weak supply and demand in the short term , and the price may continue to operate in a narrow range. At present, the mainstream range of C30 non-pumping tax-inclusive price in Jiangxi area is maintained at about 240-270 yuan/square meter.
Shandong: This week, the market price of concrete in Shandong continued to be weak, and the demand side performance remained weak. In terms of raw materials, the price of cement was adjusted in a narrow range, and the overall cost support was limited. In order to alleviate the inventory pressure, some enterprises continued to increase preferential efforts to promote sales. At present, the contradiction between supply and demand in the market is still prominent, the weather factors are superimposed, the short-term concrete market may continue to be weak, and the price upward lacks momentum.
