[Brokerage Focus] CITIC SEC indicates that the domestic Business in the Cement Industry is under pressure, while the overseas Business has become a key support for performance growth.
Jinwu Financial News | CITIC SEC stated that according to Cement Network, in 2024, China's cement production capacity will reach approximately 2.561 billion tons, while the output will only be 1.825 billion tons, marking a new low since 2010, with a capacity utilization rate of only 71.24%.
