In September, the weather conditions improved, the operating rate in Anhui, Jiangsu and other places continued to increase, the overall demand showed an upward trend, and the cement market in East China rose.

In Zhejiang, in order to improve profitability, on September 22, some cement manufacturers in Hangzhou, Zhejiang and other regions raised the price of various types of cement by 20-30 RMB/ ton.

In Jiangsu, demand has recovered. On or about September 2, the price of high-grade cement from cement manufacturers in Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Lianyungang and other regions in Jiangsu increased 10-20 RMB/ ton. On or about September 25, the prices of various kinds of cement from cement manufacturers in Lianyungang, Yancheng, Huai'an, Yangzhou and other regions in Jiangsu Province increased 20-30 RMB/ ton.

In September, cement prices rose in some parts of East China. It can be seen from the above figure that the cement market has risen in the past three months, and the market has continued to rise this month. As the weather conditions improved, the cement industry has entered the traditional peak season in the middle and late September. Some areas have stopped kilns due to peak shift. The demand has slightly warmed up compared with the early stage. The cement inventory has steadily declined, and the shipment has increased compared with the early stage. The enterprise has a strong desire to adjust prices, leading the cement market to rise. From January to August 2022, the national cement output will be 1.355 billion tons, a year-on-year decrease of 14.2%. In August, the national cement output was 188 million tons, down 13.1% year on year. At present, some clinker production line enterprises in Fujian Province plan to stop the kiln for 10 days from October. The decline of cement production is expected to drive the cement market upward.

According to the prediction of SunSirs, the price of raw materials is rising constantly, the production cost of cement enterprises is rising, and the market demand has rebounded compared with the previous period. Therefore, SunSirs cement product analysts believe that the cement market is mainly rising in China in a short time.
