According to customs data, China imported 2.877 million tons of cement clinker in May, a year-on-year decrease of 23% and a month on month increase of 8%. In addition, from January to may, China imported 11.2562 million tons of cement clinker, a year-on-year increase of 11.9%, which was a moderate increase. The digital cement network believes that the sharp year-on-year decline in import volume is mainly affected by the base of the previous year. In the same period of last year, due to the need of epidemic prevention and control, the production capacity of domestic cement clinker was greatly restrained, and the resumption of work and production in the field of infrastructure construction was earlier than that in the manufacturing industry. The outbreak of concentrated market demand and tight supply led to a significant increase in the import demand of cement clinker in the short term.
