Cement is one of the most sought-after building materials in China and today nothing can replace it. In the rapid development of the Chinese economy, the cement industry plays a key role. Over the past years, indicators of this industry have shown steady growth. However, in parallel with this, the tension between the demand and supply of cement on the market increases.
Since 1985, China has been ranked first in the world in terms of cement production, and its share in the global production of this building material is almost 50%. The volume of domestic production of the cement industry is showing stable growth. This is not hampered even by government policy aimed at optimizing costs and updating the production base of the industry as a whole.
In 2007, cement production in China exceeded 1.35 billion tons. For the analyzed period from 2005 to 2007, the growth rate of production in the industry amounted to 126.57%.
In addition, experts of the Association of Cement Manufacturers point out that, despite all government measures that resulted in the closure of many small-scale industries, the volume of cement production will grow. This is due not only to the growing demand, but also to the development of new production technologies, a significant improvement in the industrial and technological base of the industry over the past 5 years.
