2025, the 2024 Top 100 List of China's Cement Clinker Production Capacity was released.
The list shows that in 2024, 11 new clinker production lines were put into operation in China, with a total capacity of 14.632 million tons , a decrease of 8.897 million tons compared with 23.529 million tons in 2023.
From the data, we can see that the new production capacity in 2024 is the lowest since 2020, which is closely related to the current extremely severe industry situation. Faced with multiple challenges such as weak market demand and intensified competition, the willingness of enterprises to invest in new production lines has been significantly reduced, resulting in a significant reduction in new production capacity.
According to the incomplete statistics of Cement Research Institute of China Cement Network, in the past ten years, 94 production lines have been suspended or cancelled due to the shortage of funds and the decline of demand, involving about 148 million tons of annual clinker production capacity.
It is estimated that about 15 production lines will be put into operation in 2025 and 2026, with a total annual clinker production capacity of about 22 million tons, which indicates that the average annual new production capacity will continue to decline in the next two years.
