Economic Performance of Building Materials Industry in the First Half of 2012

In the first half of 2012, the production of the building materials industry continued to grow, but the growth rate dropped sharply, the company’s inventory increased, investment grew faster, and economic efficiency declined.

First, the overall operation situation

(1) The production continues to grow, and the growth rate has dropped significantly. From January to June, the output value of building materials industry above designated size was 2.5 trillion yuan, up 16% year-on-year, and the growth rate was down by 25.1 percentage points; the industrial added value was up 12.1% year-on-year, and the growth rate was down 8.4 percentage points. From January to June, the country’s cement output was 990 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 5.5%, flat glass 370 million weight boxes, a year-on-year decrease of 3.1%, ceramic bricks 4.23 billion square meters, a year-on-year increase of 1.5%, sanitary ceramics production 71.37 million, a year-on-year decrease of 13.5 %, natural granite stone 200 million square meters, an increase of 38.4%.

(II) The sales of products are not booming and the company's inventory is increasing. In addition to a 0.2% year-on-year increase in the production and sales of bulk products, and a 0.2% year-on-year increase in the ceramic products industry, the production and sales of other bulk products both declined. The cement production and sales rate was 96.3%, a year-on-year decrease of 0.7 percentage point, and the glass production and sales rate was 93.8. %, a year-on-year decrease of 1.7 percentage points. The cement stocks of key building materials companies totaled 19.7 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 15.1%, and the plate glass inventory was 44.75 million weight boxes, a year-on-year increase of 26.1%. The company’s inventory has increased significantly.

(C) The continuous increase in investment, the total amount is difficult to suppress. In the first half of the year, the investment in fixed assets of the building materials industry was 476.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 19.4%, and the growth rate was 12.5 percentage points lower than the same period of last year. Investment in fixed assets for new building materials such as concrete and cement products, glass fiber and products has grown rapidly, with concrete and cement products becoming the largest sub-sector for investment. Although the investment in fixed assets of industries with excess capacity such as cement, glass and building sanitary ceramics continues to decline, it still maintains a relatively large scale, and high-level redundant construction has made total control more difficult.

(4) The price of bulk products has fallen and the industry's efficiency has declined. In June, the cement price of key building materials companies showed a downward trend, which was a decrease of 8.6% year-on-year. From January to June, the total profits of the building materials industry totaled 140.28 billion yuan, down 9% year-on-year. The total profit of the cement manufacturing industry was 22.28 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 51.4%. The flat glass manufacturing industry suffered a loss of 490 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 118.5%, and the cement products industry realized a total profit of 14.64 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 8.6%.

The main problems faced by the industry's operation are the continuous growth of production capacity of bulk products, slow growth of demand, serious overcapacity, and declining economic efficiency. Second, the implementation of stricter emission standards for nitrogen oxides, dust, etc., pollution control of building materials industry. The pressure increases sharply; third, the development of green new building materials, deep processing of non-metallic minerals and non-metallic new materials is relatively slow, and urgently needs technical, standard, and fiscal policy support.

Second, the second half of the trend forecast

With the implementation of a series of steady growth and structural adjustment policies by the country, it will further increase support for the construction of major projects such as railways, water conservancy, and affordable housing, effectively stimulating increased demand. The adjustment of industrial structure will be accelerated, which will help meet the market demand, and the sustainable development of energy-saving and environment-friendly building materials. It is initially expected that the output of bulk building materials will continue to grow moderately. The annual growth rate will remain at around 7%. The average price of products is lower than that of the same period of last year, and the increase in benefits will further decline.

In view of the severe situation facing the industry, we must further implement the overall requirements for steady growth and structural adjustment established by the State Council, and take targeted measures based on the actual conditions of the building materials industry. First, strictly control the total amount, establish and improve equal or decrement replacement systems, increase the elimination of backward production capacity, expand the scope of eliminating backward production capacity, optimize the production structure, and increase the production concentration and scale economic benefits of cement, glass, and ceramic manufacturing. . The second is to increase new types of green building materials, new inorganic non-metal materials, and deep processing of non-metallic minerals, as well as research and industrialization of new technologies such as denitrification, dust removal, comprehensive utilization of waste heat, and co-disposal, and cultivate new growth points. The third is to research and formulate green consumption policies such as environmental protection building materials, water-saving sanitary ware, and to compile a catalogue of green building materials and expand the domestic demand for new building materials, inorganic non-metallic new materials and non-metallic mineral processing products. The fourth is to strengthen operational monitoring and information guidance, and actively encourage traditional industries to extend the industrial chain, enhance the value chain, enhance the ability to resist risks, and strive to maintain a steady growth of the industry economy.
