The output of special cement in my country is relatively low, but the market still has large room for development.

Cement can be divided into ordinary cement and special cement according to its use and performance. Special cement has special characteristics. There are many types of special cements, which can be divided into six major systems and eight major categories. The six major systems are silicate series (except general cement), aluminate series, sulfoaluminate series, fluoroaluminate series, iron Aluminate series and other series; the eight categories are fast-hardening high-strength cement, expanding self-stressing cement, hydraulic cement, offshore cement, oil well cement, decorative cement, high-temperature-resistant cement and other cements.

There are many types of special cement, which can meet the application needs in different fields. They are mainly used in hydropower, transportation, petroleum, chemical industry, construction and other fields. They have a wide range of applications and high market demand. At present, my country’s quantity and application level of special cement have ranked first in the world.

According to the released “Research Report on Market Segment Demand and Development Opportunities of China’s Special Cement Industry 2021-2026”, the application of special cement Wide in scope, benefiting from the promotion of downstream demand, my country’s special cement output has continued to rise in recent years. In 2020, China’s special cement output was 32 million tons, accounting for only about 2% of total cement output. In European and American countries, special cement accounts for more than 5% of cement production. Compared with European and American countries, my country’s special cement output is relatively low, and there is still much room for improvement in the future, and the industry development prospects are good.

In 2020, there are approximately 256 companies in my country with special cement production capabilities, and the main business of most of them is general cement. With the improvement of production technology and equipment technology in the domestic cement industry, various cement companies have deployed the special cement industry and accelerated the development of the special cement industry. During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the scale of my country’s special cement production has experienced a qualitative improvement, enabling large-scale production. The variety of special cements has increased. At present, the production and application technology of sulfoaluminate series products in domestic special cement has gradually matured. There are 20 domestic production companies with a production capacity of about 5.2 million tons, but the actual output in 2019 was only 1.55 million tons.

From the perspective of the development of the special cement industry, during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, our government has invested heavily in infrastructure, and the unconventional infrastructure construction environment will drive the demand for special cement to rise. In terms of market competition, although many companies are currently deployed in the field of special cement, driven by the goals of “carbon peaking” and “carbon neutrality”, the competition structure of the domestic special cement market has improved, and small companies will exit the market.

Industry analysts said that there are many types of special cement with a wide range of applications. Benefiting from the advancement of domestic infrastructure projects, my country’s demand for special cement higher. my country is a global leader in the types and applications of special cement, but it is still slightly behind in actual production technology, and there is still much room for improvement in the industry in the future. In terms of production, there are many domestic special cement manufacturers and the market is relatively fragmented. Companies such as Qingsong Jianhua, Tianshan Co., Ltd., Ningxia Building Materials, and Sichuan Shuangma account for relatively high proportions.
