[Brokerage Focus] citic sec believes that the demand for the cement industry is expected to be in a downward trend in the medium to long term.
Jingu Financial News | Citic Securities stated that the cement industry's demand is expected to be in a downward phase in the medium to long term, with future industry changes focusing more on the supply side. In 2016, the supply-side reform of the cement industry led to a significant decrease in new cement clinker production capacity, but the speed of eliminating outdated capacity was slower than expected, and the industry still faces widespread overcapacity issues. Since 2024, cement demand has dropped significantly, with the industry suffering severe losses. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has revised and issued the "Cement Glass Industry Capacity Replacement Implementation Measures (2024 Edition)" in hopes of accelerating the clearance of over 0.3 billion tons of outdated cement clinker production capacity, reducing actual capacity from 2.1 billion tons to the designed capacity of 1 billion tons.
