The growth rate of building materials production in the first three quarters turned positive, and profits were close to the same period last year.

  The building materials industry has "turned into a positive"

  Building materials are indispensable for building bridges and roads, building and decorating houses.

According to data recently released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in the first three quarters of this year, the growth rate of the building materials industry has turned from negative to positive, and economic benefits have continued to improve. This reflects the accelerated recovery of China's economy from one aspect.

  The data shows that the added value of the building materials industry in the first three quarters increased by 0.7% year-on-year, turning from negative to positive. Among them, the growth rate in September increased by 8.9% year-on-year, 2.4 percentage points higher than the same period last year, and continued to stabilize and improve.

Among them, the national cement output in the first three quarters was 1.68 billion tons, down 1.1% year-on-year, and the rate of decline narrowed 3.7 percentage points compared with the first half of the year; the output of flat glass was 700 million weight boxes, an increase of 0.4% year-on-year.

  Look at the economic benefits of the industry.

In the first three quarters, the operating income of enterprises above designated size in the building materials industry was 3.8 trillion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 1.8%, and the rate of decline narrowed by 3.0 percentage points from the first half of the year; the total profit was 321.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of only 0.9%, which was close to the same period last year. Among them, the total profit for the month of September was 46.29 billion yuan, an increase of 5.4% month-on-month and 16.4% year-on-year.

The operating income of cement enterprises above designated size was 694.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 3.5%, and the rate of decrease was 2.6 percentage points lower than that in the first half of the year; the total profit was 129 billion yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 1.7%, and the rate of decrease was 4.1 percentage points lower than that in the first half of the year. It is expected to become positive.

The operating income of flat glass was 62.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7.3%; the total profit was 8.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 25.2%, and both revenue and profit maintained positive growth.

  Look at product prices.

In the first three quarters, the national ex-factory price index of building materials and non-metallic mineral industrial products was 111.17, a year-on-year increase of 0.05%, of which the September ex-factory price index was 111.6, a month-on-month increase of 0.43% and a year-on-year decrease of 1.13%.

The average ex-factory price index for the first three quarters of cement was 98.45, and the average ex-factory price was 399 yuan/ton, down 3.3% year-on-year. Among them, the September ex-factory price index was 107.02, and the average ex-factory price was 379 yuan/ton, an increase of 1.7% month-on-month and a year-on-year decrease of 6.1%; The average ex-factory price index of flat glass in the first three quarters was 90.69, and the average ex-factory price was 77 yuan per weight box, an increase of 6.9% year-on-year. Among them, the September ex-factory price index was 108.77, and the average ex-factory price was 92 yuan per weight box, an increase of 11.5% month-on-month and a year-on-year increase. 18.7%.

Product prices are generally stable.

  According to data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the strength of the raw materials industry represented by the building materials industry has continued to grow, supply efficiency has improved, green development has been strengthened, and new progress has been made in supply-side structural reforms.

It is understood that China’s production of cement, flat glass, building sanitary ceramics and other bulk building materials accounts for nearly 60% of the global output, providing important basic materials for construction projects and infrastructure construction; traditional industries are high-end and green , The pace of intelligent transformation and upgrading continues to accelerate, and new material products continue to emerge.

  Establish a technological innovation system, continuously increase R&D investment and increase intensity.

At present, the technical equipment of the traditional building materials industry has reached the world's leading level, and new materials such as high-end special glass, special ceramics, carbon fiber and composite materials, and non-metallic mineral products have achieved major technological breakthroughs.

  The level of cleaner production has been greatly improved, and the green transformation has been accelerated.

The building materials industry has achieved significant reductions in the reduction of pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, smoke and dust. Cement companies in key areas strictly implemented peak-shift production. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the heating season reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 1.53 billion tons, sulfur dioxide 53400 tons, and nitrogen oxides 1.961 million Tons and 26,100 tons of particulate matter.
