Everbright pointed out that from January to November 2024, national cement production decreased by 10% year-on-year, mainly due to the decline in demand from infrastructure and real estate. In the first three quarters of 2024, cement prices in the East China region continued to decline, putting significant pressure on the profitability of many enterprises in the region. After price increases are successfully implemented in Q4 2024, quarterly profits are expected to improve significantly. In this context, it is anticipated that enterprises will still have a strong willingness to maintain prices in 2025, and it is determined that the average price for the whole year of 2025 will increase significantly year-on-year.
Tianfeng released a Research Report stating that in 2025, thanks to the advancement of infrastructure physical work volume and the stabilization of new construction in the real estate sector, the decline in cement demand is expected to narrow, while the supply side will gradually become more active. In the short term, staggered production remains the most effective means to balance supply and demand. As policies to limit overproduction become gradually stricter in 2025, companies that are in financial trouble may exit the market by compensating for overproduction Indicators and other means, allowing the Industry to begin to achieve genuine production capacity clearance. Starting from 2027, the industry will enter a stage of deepening and improving Carbon Trading, and the optimization effects of production capacity are expected to become more apparent.
