According to market feedback , from September 26 to October 10, cement enterprises in Henan began to implement a 15-day peak staggering and kiln shutdown. In terms of
cement prices , driven by cost pressures and supply contraction expectations, the price of cement in Henan has been raised by 30 yuan/ton since September 24.
It is understood that since August, cement enterprises in Henan Province have tried many times to push up the price of cement, but due to insufficient demand follow-up, the actual implementation is limited. A
local enterprise recently told China Cement Network that Henan cement demand has continued to decline since this year, the overall market activity is insufficient, the contradiction between supply and demand has not been fundamentally alleviated, and the industry still needs to cope with the t est of weak market demand in the short term. However, with the approaching of the traditional peak season of cement consumption and the start of the peak-staggering production policy in Henan, the market supply will be reasonably regulated. It is expected that the cement market in Henan will gradually rise, and the industry is expected to enter the stage of improving the supply-demand relationship and further restoring the profitability level.
In addition, cement enterprises in Hebei also decided to implement 15 consecutive days of carbon reduction, consumption reduction and peak staggering production from September 26 to October 10.
