On April 9, the 15th China Cement Industry Summit was held in Hangzhou, and Yao Hairong, Vice President of Zhejiang Cement Association, delivered a speech.

He said that due to the intensification of the contradiction between supply and demand, the competition in Zhejiang cement market is fierce. In 2025 , the overall price of cement showed a downward trend. The price of cement at the end of the year dropped by about 120 yuan/ton compared with that at the beginning of the year. In the middle of the year, the price of cement once broke 200 yuan/ton. The benefits of cement enterprises in the region were under serious pressure, and the profits of the whole industry decreased by 47.3% compared with the same period last year. Behind the data is a strong warning from the industry: the "old road" of relying on scale expansion and low price competition has come to an end. Disorderly expansion not only overdraws the future of the industry, but also erodes the foundation of the survival of enterprises. Only by completely abandoning the traditional inertial thinking of "winning by quantity", turning to the high-quality development track of "winning by quality", and resolutely resisting the "involution" bad habit competition, can industry truly usher in a bright future.
