A Briefing Of The Operation Of The Building Materials Industry In August 2022

Economic benefits in the building materials industry continue to decline

In August 2022, the macro -operating environment faced by the building materials industry was generally stable, but the market demand was still weak. The production of main products in building materials continued to decline year -on -year.

1. The output of major products decreases. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, in August, the value -added of non -metal mineral products above designated size decreased by 5.0 % year -on -year. Of the 31 building materials products that were monitored, the output of 4 products increased year -on -year, and the output of 27 products decreased year -on -year. From January to August, the value-added of non-metal mineral products above designated size decreased by 2.9 % year-on-year, a decrease of 0.3 percentage points from January-July. Of the 31 building materials products that were monitored, 9 products production increased year-on-year. Down. Among them, the output of cement was 1.35 billion tons, a year -on -year decrease of 14.2 %, and the output of flat glass was 690 million weight box, an increase of 0.2 % year -on -year.

2. Factory prices decreased month -on -month and maintained a year -on -year increase. In August, the factory price index of building materials products was 99.8 (100 above the month), a decrease of 1.6 % month -on -month, 0.7 % higher than the same month last year. From January to August, the average factory price of building materials products was 4.8 % higher than the same period last year, and the increase was further narrowed. Since the beginning of this year, the lack of market demand has led to the continuous decline in the price of building materials products, and the increase in production costs significantly rising is the main reason for the price higher than the same period last year.

3. The economic benefits of enterprises above designated size have declined. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to August, the operating income of building materials enterprises above designated size decreased by 1.0 % year-on-year, and the total profit decreased by 15.0 % year-on-year, and the decrease was expanded. Among them, the total operating income and profit of cement, concrete and cement products, waterproof building materials, light construction materials, clay and gravel mining, flat glass, and building sanitary ceramics have decreased year -on -year.

4. Fixed asset investment has maintained growth. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, from January to August, the investment in fixed assets for non-metallic mineral mining industry increased by 21.0 % year-on-year, and the investment in fixed assets of non-metal mineral products industry increased by 10.0 % year-on-year. The investment in the building materials industry has maintained a growth, and the increase has fallen.

5. The import and export remains rapidly. From January to August, the export amount of building materials and non-metal mine products was US $ 31.84 billion, an increase of 11.0 % year-on-year. Cement clinker, flat glass, technical glass, glass fiber and products, waterproof building materials, heating and sound insulation materials, bricks, lime, etc. The number and amount of goods exports have achieved a year -on -year increase. From January to August, the import amount of building materials and non-metal mine products was 20.91 billion US dollars, an increase of 13.9 % year-on-year. The amount and amount of non-metal mine products such as brick, building blocks, waterproof building materials, and graphite increased year-on-year.
