China Cement Net Market Data Center News: North China market supply and demand are weak, price callbacks are light..

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region: The concrete market in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is characterized by regional differentiation. In the Shijiazhuang market, demand returned to about 50% of the normal level, the overall performance was flat, and concrete prices fell slightly. Northern Hebei is affected by the sharp rise in raw material prices in the early stage, and the cost of concrete production has risen significantly by 20-30 yuan per square meter. Although the recovery degree of demand side is comparable to that of Shijiazhuang, enterprises have a strong willingness to push up under the pressure of cost, and the market is currently in the stage of price game.

Shanxi and Inner Mongolia: The concrete market in Inner Mongolia and Shanxi continued the pattern of weak supply and demand, and the price was under pressure: Inner Mongolia was affected by the low temperature and insufficient funds, the resumption of infrastructure and real estate projects was generally lagging behind, the construction progress was slow, and the concrete shipments remained low. Market prices are weak and stable, and only the partial start-up of infrastructure projects in Chifeng and other places in the east in March has led to a sporadic recovery in demand, but the western League cities are still dominated by inventory digestion. Shanxi market recovery momentum is insufficient, short-term or continued weak and stable situation.
