the Spring Festival of 2020, the sudden novel coronavirus pneumonia swept across the whole country, which had a tremendous impact on the national economy, the development of various industries and people's lives. As a basic industry, the cement industry also suffered a great impact.
But as the domestic epidemic is gradually under control, we are also beginning to think, when will the demand for cement recover? What new situations will emerge in the development of cement industry? In 2020, what will be the trend of the cement industry as a whole? For this reason, China Cement Network recently interviewed Jiang Xiaomeng, chairman of Zhejiang Jianfeng Group, and listened to him talk about the recovery of the cement industry under the epidemic.
Jianfeng Group Chairman Jiang Xiaom
eng Jianfeng Group started with cement. In the course of more than 60 years of development, it has continuously upgraded its connotation and expanded its extension. Its production lines are located in many provinces in China, such as Hubei, Yunnan and Zhejiang coastal areas.
The epidemic broke out in Hubei, so the whole Hubei market is not in a state of start-up at present. In addition, due to the impact of inventory accumulation, mixing stations and construction sites before the year, the consumer market has not yet fully recovered. Jiang Xiaomeng said, "At present, the civil market has begun to start gradually, including bagged cement, I believe that the follow-up market will accelerate the pace of start-up."
In addition to the Hubei area where the epidemic is more serious, the resumption rate of production lines of Jianfeng Group in Yunnan has reached 65%, and the resumption rate in the coastal areas of Zhejiang has reached 70%. At the same time, Jianfeng Group is actively promoting the resumption of production of cement plants.
Faced with the fierce COVID-19 epidemic, some people in the industry are worried about the industry situation in the first half of this year, but Jiang Xiaomeng believes that the overall market of the cement industry in 2020 is still good, but regional differences will still appear.
According to incomplete statistics, except for Tianjin, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Hainan, Liaoning, Qinghai and other places that have not yet announced the overall investment plan, the total investment announced by other provinces in the country has exceeded 40 trillion yuan. As one of the "troikas" driving cement demand, the acceleration of infrastructure construction also means that cement demand will gradually rise.
"At present, the overall demand for cement is in a period of restraint, when the construction site resumes, after the normal start of cement sales, both the demand for cement in the later period, prices and sales will rise as a whole." Jiang Xiaomeng told China Cement Network that overall, the overall market of the cement industry in 2020 is still optimistic.
In addition, under the influence of this epidemic, many domestic cement enterprises have begun to realize the benefits of smart factories and online trade for cement enterprises in reducing labor intensity, reducing the risk of infection, and broadening sales channels. Jiang Xiaomeng also said that intelligence has become a major trend in the cement industry, and all production lines of Jianfeng Group have been initially equipped with intelligence. Intelligent control is more convenient and accurate in terms of productivity, real-time data and sales. It is
also understood that since the outbreak of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, Jianfeng Group has been concerned about the epidemic, highlighting the responsibility and responsibility of large enterprises. Daye Jianfeng Cement Co., Ltd. was entrusted by the group company to donate 1 million yuan to the Daye Municipal Government at the first time. It is specially used to purchase medical supplies for the prevention and control of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic; Yunnan Jianfeng Cement Co., Ltd. donated a batch of love masks to the People's Government of Liushun Town, Simao District, Puer City; Shanghai Beika Medical Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jianfeng Group, donated 300,000 yuan and a batch of epidemic prevention materials such as protective suit, canvas gloves and medical masks to the Red Cross Society of Dongzhi County; Jianfeng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. donated 400000 yuan in cash and 100 barrels of ethanol disinfectant through the Red Cross Society of Jinhua City, once again offering the hearts of Jianfeng people for epidemic prevention and control. Jiang Xiaomeng, chairman
of Jianfeng Group, said that since the outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic, Jianfeng Group has attached great importance to it. From the headquarters of the Group to its subordinate enterprises, Jianfeng Group has actively organized and implemented various epidemic prevention and control work, taking various measures simultaneously, effectively guaranteeing the safety and health of all cadres and employees of the company, making full preparations and resuming work in an orderly manner.
