1. Cement Net Report: Operation Analysis and Market Outlook

of the Cement Market in 2024 The cement market in 2024 was affected by the bottoming of real estate investment and the decline of infrastructure investment, resulting in a decline in demand, a 15-year low in output, a downward shift in price focus and a sharp decline in industry profits. In terms of import and export, the import of clinker shrank and the export of cement increased. Looking forward to 2025, the demand for cement will continue to decline due to unstable real estate and limited infrastructure, but the industry's awareness of "anti-involution" will increase. It is expected that the average price will rise slightly and the profit will be restored to a certain extent. However, if the demand weakens beyond expectations, the profit may continue to decline.
