However, attention should be paid to unfavourable factors, such as overcapacity, which is not expected to improve in a short period of time. In the long-term, the introduction and implementation of a series of measures to reduce overcapacity and the rise in environmental compliance costs is expected to speed up the elimination of obsolete production capacity and promote the reorganisation and consolidation of small and medium enterprises by large enterprises in the cement industry.
- The process of new urbanisation and investment in infrastructure will be the main cement demand driver in the future.
