Suggestions on promoting the integration and development of China's cement industry through mergers and acquisitions

At present, China's cement industry is falling into the most severe industry dilemma since this century, and merger and reorganization is an important measure to solve the situation of "downward demand, excess capacity, involution loss". Based on the current situation of China's cement industry and the experience of overseas mature market integration, this paper prospects the trend, path and mode of China's cement market integration in the future, and analyzes the potential risks that may arise, and puts forward reasonable suggestions from the three levels of government, association and enterprise. It is expected that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, China's cement industry will take substantial steps in mergers and acquisitions, make new major breakthroughs, effectively enhance industry concentration, and compete in the market.
