China's cement output has remained high for many years, ranking first in the world for 37 consecutive years.
In the past year, China's macro economy has continued to recover and improve, and infrastructure investment has maintained steady growth, but the real estate industry is still in the stage of deep adjustment, dragging down the recovery of cement demand. The production in 2023 will be 202.3 billion tons, down 07%, declining for the third year in a row. However, with the improvement of market demand and the rebound, it is expected that industry earnings are expected to recover.
For a long time, the demand for cement in the real estate industry has been relatively stable. As one of the important building materials, cement has the characteristics of anti-corrosion, high temperature resistance, earthquake resistance, etc., and is widely used in industrial buildings, civil buildings, traffic engineering, water conservancy projects, harbor projects, national defense construction and other new industries and engineering construction.
Due to the influence of factors such as the large transportation volume of raw materials and products, the high proportion of freight to the selling price, and the short shelf life of the product, there are certain geographical restrictions in the scope of sales. As far as ordinary cement is concerned, the reasonable transportation radius of general transportation by automobile transportation is about 150-200 kilometers, the reasonable transportation radius of railway transportation is about 300-500 kilometers, and the reasonable transportation radius of water transportation is more than 600 kilometersTherefore, China's cement production is all over the country.
Judging from the cement data of each region, there have been some changes compared with the previous year's ranking. Hebei, YunnanRanked in the top 10 and in sixth placeSichuan, last year's output was 12.2 billion tons. The leading company is:Southwest CementIt is the investment and operation platform of China National Building Materials Group in the cement industry in southwest China, as well as local enterprisesEshengIn addition to this, there are some from other regionsConch, Taiwan Mud, Huaxin, etc
There is a saying that "the world's cement looks at China, and China's cement looks at the conch." ”
Conch Cement was formally established on August 24, 1996, Conch Group has become bigger and stronger, with today's scale and strength, based on the expansion of the main business of cement manufacturing, at the same time, based on the main business of cement, extending the industrial chain, expanding to chemical building materials, new materials, new energy and other fields.
Conch Group has 148 clinker lines and a clinker production capacity of 26.9 billion tons; There are 414 cement mills, and the cement production capacity is 38.8 billion tons. The scale of cement production capacity has increased by 80 times compared with the early stage of its establishment, creating a "conch miracle" praised by the industry in the history of the development of the cement industry in China and even in the world.
ZhejiangRanked fifth, last year's output was 12.7 billion tons. Some of the more well-known companies are:Red Lion, Shangfeng, Jinglan, Century New Peak, Jinyuan, Jinniu, Jianfeng, etc. ShandongRanked fourth, with a production of 12.9 billion tons. AnhuiThirdly, the yield is 13.3 billion tons.
JiangsuRanked second, with a year-on-year increase of 052% to 14.3 billion tons. Headquartered in Liyang, Changzhou, Jinfeng Group, originally a small cement factory in the township, has now grown into the "leading boss" of the cement industry in Jiangsu, and is currently the largest single cement production base in the country, with an annual cement production capacity of 30 million tons.
A major cement province - GuangdongIt continued to rank first, with cement output reaching 14.3 billion tons, accounting for 708%。
In 1889, China's first cement enterprise, Tangshan Fine Cotton Soil Factory, was established to produce the first barrel of "foreign ash". Today, through the efforts of several generations, more than 60 kinds of special cement varieties have been developed and invented in six systems and seven categories, which are widely used in special engineering fields such as hydropower, nuclear power, coal, transportation, petroleum, marine engineering, and national defense, and meet the needs of national economic construction. It is hoped that in the future, Chinese cement companies can step onto the world stage.
