Cement Network Video: How Does the Foreign Cement Industry Break Overcapacity and Involution? These experiences are worth learning from.

In fact, the cement industry

in Europe and the United States faced the challenges of overcapacity, industry involution and downward demand earlier, and their accumulated successful experience is worth our study and reference.

The United States mainly raised emission standards, eliminated backward production capacity, and eliminated more than 45 million tons of cement production capacity between 1970 and 2010. Germany obtains high industry profit margin with low capacity utilization rate. Its cement production capacity is highly concentrated, and enterprises take the initiative to reduce production and guarantee prices. In 2024, the capacity utilization rate dropped to 57%, but cement enterprises still obtained a higher profit margin. Egypt directly implements compulsory quotas to reduce production, with enterprises reducing production by at least 10%, and the price rises to 3000 Egyptian pounds/ton (445 yuan/ton) in 2024, an increase of 50%.
