Recently, Japan's domestic building materials prices are high, including the wholesale price of cement in Tokyo this month hit a new high since the statistics.
The latest statistics show that in May, the wholesale price of cement in Tokyo has reached about 18300 yen per ton (about 906 yuan), the highest level since 1996. That's up 12% from March.
As the price of cement rises, the price of concrete is expected to rise, and the cost of building houses is likely to rise. In addition, the prices of timber, steel and other building materials in Japan have also remained at a high level, which has greatly increased the pressure on the domestic construction industry in Japan and affected the construction of housing and infrastructure.
Even because of the rising construction costs, no construction enterprises are willing to undertake the situation.
