On March 15, the heating season in the northern region officially ended, and the winter peak staggering production in the cement industry also came to an end. Since March 16, cement clinker enterprises in China have resumed production one after another, but under the background of the overall downturn in market demand, the imbalance between supply and demand has been rapidly highlighted, clinker stocks in many places have continued to rise, and the pressure on the supply side has further increased. In this context, in April, cement enterprises in many parts of the country have announced the continuation of kiln shutdown measures to ease supply pressure.
According to the feedback from the market, the three provinces in Northeast China plan to shut down the kilns 15 days after the opening of the kilns in April until May 25;
the cement industry in Henan has implemented a 20-day off-peak shutdown since April 5; During the period from April 11 to May 5, the cement industry
in Shandong Province stopped kilns for a total of 25 days;
the cement industry in Fujian Province continued to stop kilns for 15 days in April; In April, the number of days of off-peak production and kiln shutdown for each clinker production line
in Sichuan Province is "15 + X" days, of which "15 days" is the baseline task, and "X days" is determined by the Provincial Cement Association in the middle and late April, depending on the factors such as the production and marketing inventory of enterprises in the whole province, the relationship between supply and demand in the market, and so on. Organize a meeting to determine if additional days are needed..
Generally speaking, the recovery of market demand was slow, the shutdown time of cement kilns in some areas continued to extend in April, and the utilization rate of production capacity was at a low level.
