its cement industry. In 2007, cement output reached 1.35 billion tons in
China, and during the first ten months of 2008, cement output has reached as
many as 1.135 billion tons in China.
China' s cement output and consumption has been the number one in the world
since 1985. China' s cement consumption will account for 54% of global cement
consumption for the whole year of 2008.
In China, cement production and consumption are mainly distributed in East
China and Central South China, and cement supply can basically meet the demand
in those two regions. Elimination of backward production capacity will make
cement industrial layout more rationalized.
However, along with the future movements of regional economic and adjustments
of state' s policies, in the developing regions, especially those where have an
advantage of energy sources like central China and west China will be the key
markets for cement in the future.
