By the end of March, the National Concrete Price Index (CONCPI) closed at 90.13 points, up 0.33% from the end of February, and down 10.36% from the same period last year.

In March, the national concrete market as a whole showed a trend of "strong stability and regional differentiation". The impact of the Spring Festival holiday has completely subsided, and there are obvious differences in the performance of different regions due to factors such as temperature, rhythm of resumption of work and cost of raw materials. Driven by the cost of Northeast China, the recovery of Northwest China and North China is slow, the demand of East China has not reached the peak season, and the operation of Central South and Southwest China is weak and stable.

By the end of March, the National Concrete Price Index (CONCPI) closed at 90.13 points, up 0.33% from the end of February and down 10.36% from the same period last year.

At present, China's cement industry is falling into the most severe industry dilemma since this century, and merger and reorganization is an important measure to solve the situation of "downward demand, excess capacity, involution loss". Based on the current situation of China's cement industry and the experience of overseas mature market integration, this paper prospects the trend, path and mode of China's cement market integration in the future, and analyzes the potential risks that may arise, and puts forward reasonable suggestions from the three levels of government, association and enterprise. It is expected that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, China's cement industry will take substantial steps in mergers and acquisitions, make new major breakthroughs, effectively enhance industry concentration, and compete in the market.
