In the process of pursuing efficient allocation of resources and full release of market potential in the cement industry, market problems mainly depend on the market to solve. Production capacity is an important and sensitive topic in the cement industry. For each cement clinker production line, it is OK to have a registered production capacity, but it seems useless to have more.

At present, the main obstacle to anti-involution lies in large enterprise groups. They do not realize that they are the main producers of overcapacity. They do not realize that they are the main force to initiate involution. They do not realize that only when they are strict with themselves, find more reasons from themselves, and have more good thoughts for small and medium-sized enterprises, can many things be solved!

Illegal production capacity should be controlled in accordance with the law and regulations from the very beginning, instead of being hastily done by supplementing production capacity after years of illegal "dividends", which is obviously unfair to law-abiding enterprises. After completing the replenishment of production capacity, how to punish the previous violations of enterprises is also worth considering by the industry regulatory authorities.

The American Cement Association's Spring Market Intelligence Report predicts that cement consumption in the United States will decline by 1.6% in 2025, which is not caused by the economic recession caused by trade disputes.
