Domestic Cement Market Sees Phased Price Hikes, Exhibiting Significant Regional Differentiation

Recently, the domestic cement market has seen a phased price increase. Through interviews, it was learned that under the combined effect of cost support, off-peak production, and a marginal recovery in demand, the start of this seasonal price hike is earlier than in previous years and exhibits a significant regional differentiation pattern. Industry insiders expect that the concentrated release of infrastructure demand in the second quarter may further open up room for price increases, but the core issue of excess industry capacity has not been fundamentally resolved, and price recovery still has phased and structural characteristics.
