Overcapacity is a long-term problem in the cement industry. Over the past years, although the output can not be completely resolved, it has gained buffer time for the industry to reduce production capacity and adjust the structure.

In 2010, the price of cement in East China rose from 290 yuan/ton to 500 yuan/ton at the end of the year, which led to the rise of the national price and the increase of demand. In 2011, the sales volume of the industry exceeded 2 billion tons and the profit of the industry exceeded 100 billion yuan for the first time. Since

2016, peak-staggering production has been promoted nationwide, from north to south, from peak-staggering production in heating season to normal promotion, cement production in the fourth quarter of the north has dropped from 197 million tons in 2016 to 177 million tons in 2021, and peak-staggering production has also been implemented in the south. It has created the "golden five years" of the cement industry from 2017 to 2021. Power rationing struck again

in 2021, with cement production of 200 million tons in September, down 4.7% from August. In October, the average price of cement reached 643 yuan/ton, the highest in history.

However, in the final analysis, peak staggering and power limitation are only short-term means of regulation and control, which fail to fundamentally solve the problem of overcapacity, and there is still a long way to go to optimize the structure of the industry.
