The added value of the building materials industry increased 12.2% year-on-year

The 2013 China Industrial Communication Industry Operation Report pointed out that from January to November 2013, the value-added of the building materials industry increased by 12.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate accelerated by 0.6% year-on-year. Production of 2.2 billion tons of cement, an increase of 9.2%; flat glass production 710 million weight boxes, an increase of 11.6%. The product industry and deep processing industries have been increasingly used. Above-scale concrete and cement products, building materials and light building materials products and deep-processing industries achieved a growth rate of more than 20% in their main business income, which was significantly higher than that of the traditional building materials industry. The growth of the building materials industry continued to increase.

The curbing of overcapacity in the cement and flat glass industry has shown initial success, and product prices have slowly picked up. In the first three quarters of 2013, a total of 32 new cement clinker production lines were added nationwide, with 40.53 million tons of new cement clinker production capacity; 17 new float glass production lines and 61.84 million weight boxes newly added. As of the end of September, the new production capacity of cement clinker and flat glass was 43% and 45% of the new production capacity of the whole year last year. More than half of the cement and flat glass projects under construction have slowed down or stopped the construction to varying degrees. . With the initial suppression of new production capacity and the easing of the market supply and demand contradictions, the prices of cement and flat glass have been generally stable since the beginning of this year. Since August, there has been a slight rebound in the prices of cement and flat glass. Benefits have improved. In the first 10 months, the building materials industry achieved a 21.3% increase in profit (down 5.2% in the same period of last year), which was 3.1% faster than the first half of the year.

The profit rate of main business income was 6.47%, an increase of 0.28 percentage points year-on-year; the company’s loss was 12.47%, which was a year-on-year decrease of 0.18 percentage points. The steady development trend is expected to continue. Since the beginning of this year, the contradiction between overcapacity and surplus in the traditional building materials industry such as cement and flat glass has shown initial success. The development of the building material products industry and deep processing industry is in good shape and structural adjustment has made positive progress. In the next stage, we must continue to focus on eliminating overcapacity and vigorously develop industries with low energy consumption, low emissions, and high value-added green building materials. While promoting the basic stable operation of the building materials industry, we must further improve quality and efficiency.
