China Ready-mixed Concrete Industry Production & Marketing Demand and Investment Forecast Report, 2013-2017

The concrete is the major building material as well as building structural material in the world. The quality of concrete plays a fundamental and decisive role in the building structural quality. In 2010 the cement production in China is 1.879 billion tons while the total consumption of concrete reaches 3 billion cubic meters. So China is in fact a big cement producer and concrete consumer as these two items top in the world. With the progress of building technology and the employees’ amount of more than 5 million, the concrete industry has become an important industry to national economy while the ready-mixed concrete is the major one to the industry. In current years, the ready-mixed concrete is widely used in almost all the large or key projects and significant structures, such as Olympic project, the major urban infrastructure projects, municipal engineering, road and rail traffic, crossing-sea-bridge, nuclear power, military, harbor work, metallurgy and others. The ready-mixed concrete plays a significant role in the construction and development of national economy.

According to available statistics, in 2010 there are more than 5 thousand ready-mixed concrete corporations in China with the designed productive capacity of 1.5 billion cubic meters and actual productive capacity of 1 billion cubic meters. The ready-mixed concrete consumption in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Nanjing, Shenyang, Dalian and Chanzhou accounts for over 60% of the total concrete consumption in these cities. This data approaches the level of the developed countries.

And according to data released by State Statistics Bureau, there are 2,191 ready-mixed concrete corporations of scale in 2010, up 386 comparing with that in last year; the total asset is 126.424 billion Yuan with a year-on-year growth rate of 27.98%.

As an independent and new industry, the ready-mixed concrete has a history of nearly 30 years. The factors like policy promotion, market cultivation and technology progress will provide a fast growth of ready-mixed concrete industry. However, because of lacking a fundamental treatment to the “blind expansion and competition” and the production environment for a long time, the ready-mixed concrete industry with a quality crisis of confidence and a image of “dirty, chaotic and poor” since the beginning of the 21st century. And the industry is even limited in some cities or regions, for example, Beijing will move the concrete corporations out of five links while some cities require the industry should be concentrated within a given region. There are various indications that the ready-mixed concrete contributes to the urban construction as well as enormous environmental burden. The incoordination of industry scale, development pace and management level enhances the quality risks especially in the cities and regions which start late. Without coordinated management and fundamental change of environmental status, the industry can hardly survive and gain a sustainable development in cities in the future. Consequently, we should think highly of the industry scientific management and development planning.
