Guangdong and Guangxi: Since August, there is still too much rain in the Guangxi market, coupled with poor capital repayment, the progress of most construction projects is slow, and the serious overcapacity leads to fierce competition in the mixing station market. At the same time, the prices of raw materials such as cement, sand and gravel have been falling, the unit price of concrete enterprises is difficult to support, and the transaction prices in different markets have fallen by about 5-10 yuan per square meter. The quotation of commercial mixed enterprises in Guangdong market is mainly weak and stable, mainly because the quotation of local commercial mixed enterprises has been relatively low, the willingness of foreign enterprises to enter the Guangdong market has been reduced, and the competition has been alleviated. However, the market is still in the off-season of rainwater, the demand recovery is not much, and the quotation tends to be stable in the short term.

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.
