[原创]中美洲:垄断造就水泥超高价格

2015-09-18 15:30:52

2014年,中美洲经济在拉美地区表现一枝独秀,区域项目投资活跃,水泥需求受到支撑。中美洲人均水泥产能低于全球(剔除中国)平均水平,有着增长潜力,豪瑞和西麦斯是中美洲产能最大的企业,目前还依然在扩张产能,各国企业数量少造成了企业垄断的市场局面,水泥价格远超全球平均水平。

一、人口与经济

  中美洲(Central America)即墨西哥以南、哥伦比亚以北的美洲大陆中部地区,包括危地马拉、伯利兹、萨尔瓦多、洪都拉斯、尼加拉瓜、哥斯达黎加和巴拿马7个国家,2014年总人口4987.7万人,其中危地马拉和洪都拉斯人口最多,两国总人口占中美洲总人口的52%以上,伯利兹人口最少,不足35万。

  2014年,中美洲各国经济发展速度领先拉美地区。从具体数据看,2014年拉美和加勒比海地区经济增长1.1%,为2009年来最低增速,与2013年持平,而中美洲各国中,巴拿马2014年经济增长6.16%,尼加拉瓜2014年经济增长4.7%,危地马拉增长4.24%,均远远超过拉美平均水平。根据国际货币基金组织数据显示,2015年中美洲七国平均经济增长预计将达3.76%,而拉美平均增长速度预计仅为0.9%。活跃的投资项目是支持中美洲各国经济在拉美地区“一枝独秀”的重要原因。尼加拉瓜大运河于2014年12月开工建设,预计2020年投入使用,这对解决该国贫困问题带来帮助。

Involution is a roadblock to the development of the industry and a fat stone to move forward, which is harmful but not beneficial. Because the core of involution competition is to protect oneself, protect the market, and fight price war, once the enterprise is difficult to operate and its efficiency declines, without economic support, the enterprise is like a body drive with its skeleton and blood removed, unable to gain a foothold, it can no longer have new ideals and goals, can no longer concentrate on technological innovation and effective technological transformation, and can no longer take society and the overall situation into account. It is impossible to truly achieve green, low-carbon and digital operation, in short, enterprises without economic support will be eliminated and eliminated sooner or later, where can we talk about progress and development?

However, it should be noted that brand promotion is not achieved overnight, but requires years or even decades of efforts. Our primary service offering is pricing strategies for large and mid-sized businesses to improve margins and achieve growth. The profit is equal to the price times the sales volume minus the cost. According to our research, there is a tenfold relationship between pricing and profit, while there is only a sixfold relationship between cost and sales volume, because when sales volume increases, the corresponding cost will also rise. We support Chinese enterprises to improve their profits, because only profits are the key to the survival of enterprises.
