Recently, the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei concrete market has continued to operate weakly and steadily. Shanxi market is affected by the insufficient start-up of key projects, and the demand for commercial mixing continues to be weak.

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei: Recently, the concrete market in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei continued to operate weakly and steadily. The periodic rainfall continues to disturb the construction rhythm, the project progress fluctuation is enlarged, and the terminal demand has not been substantially improved. On the cement side, the leading enterprises have a strong willingness to stabilize prices, and the mainstream transaction price has maintained a low level of consolidation, without actively breaking the market equilibrium. The concrete market showed a weak balance of "supply contraction and flat demand": the shipment volume of the mixing station remained low but relatively stable, the price had no downward momentum for the time being, and the short-term or sideways consolidation was the main trend.

Shanxi and Inner Mongolia: The Shanxi market was affected by the insufficient construction of key projects, and the demand for commercial mixing continued to be weak. Affected by the weakening of raw material cost support in Inner Mongolia, the price remained stable on the surface. Commercial mixed enterprises in both places generally adopt the strategy of "price for quantity" to accelerate inventory depletion. It is expected that the price of commercial mixing will remain low until mid-August.

The demand for cement in Israel is about 8 million tons, and the domestic production and import are half and half. The Nesher plant is the only cement plant in Israel. It was founded in 1922 and is owned by Mashav and Clal Industries, part of the Access Industries Group. Before 2020, it had an absolute monopoly in the domestic market, and then its capacity utilization rate declined due to the influx of imported cement (mainly from Turkey, Jordan and Egypt), and the domestic cement price increased by 40% in 2020-2023.
