Will the price of reinforced concrete increase in early 2022?

Due to the adjustment of raw material prices, double control of energy consumption and other reasons, the prices of many commodities in 202 1 China have remained high, including the prices of building materials industry, ceramics, steel and waterproof coatings.

Experts said that the price trend of steel bars and cement still has room to rise, because the country is now limiting electricity and the market supply and demand are tight. The production capacity of steel bars and cement is limited by mechanical equipment, so it is impossible to increase production indefinitely, but the market demand is increasing gradually, which leads to tight supply and demand. In 2022, the prices of steel bars and cement may rise, but the increase is not large.

Extended data:

According to the current market trend, it is estimated that the price of building materials will run at a high level in 2022, but there is no concrete and conclusive data at present. It can be predicted that the skyrocketing price will remain the focus of the whole industry for some time to come.

Driven by the global economy and the recovery of steel production, iron ore prices remained firm. Under the background of "carbon neutrality", the limited output of crude steel will depress the price of iron ore. It is expected that the iron ore market will maintain a tight supply and demand pattern in the short term, and the price will remain above 100 USD/ton. In the second half of the year, with the new capacity of the four major mines, the price of iron ore will decline.

As for non-ferrous metals, the report believes that with the acceleration of the pace of resumption of work and production in various countries, the market demand for non-ferrous metals is strong and the prices of non-ferrous metals generally rise.

The demand for copper has expanded. Since the second half of 2020, with the accelerated development of construction and manufacturing in various countries, the demand for copper market has gradually increased, but the new capacity of copper mines is limited, and the shortage situation has obviously expanded in the short term. According to the balance data of supply and demand of World Bureau of Metals Statistics (WBMS), the global copper supply gap will reach 139438+00000 tons in 2020. At the end of 20021May, the price of copper futures on the London Metal Exchange (LME) reached 10 159.5 USD/ton, up 90.5% year-on-year. Since April 5, Chile, the largest copper producer, has closed its border to deal with the epidemic. Driven by market tension, the upward trend of copper prices has been further strengthened.

Aluminum supply is tight. On the demand side, countries have strong demand for aluminum in infrastructure real estate, new energy vehicles, photovoltaic power generation, rail transit and other fields. Citigroup predicts that the global aluminum demand will increase by 6% in 20021year. On the supply side, due to the carbon-neutral policy, the release of new electrolytic aluminum production capacity was blocked. It is expected that the shortage of supply will push up the price of aluminum.

Nickel supply is loose. There is a strong demand for nickel in stainless steel and new energy automobile industries, but due to capacity expansion and technological upgrading, there is a strong expectation of oversupply in the nickel market. The International Nickel Research Organization (INSG) predicts that the global crude nickel output will reach 2.586 million tons in 20021year, up 6.2% year-on-year. Indonesia's new production capacity continued to be released. In March, Qingshan Holdings, a leading domestic stainless steel enterprise, indirectly announced the successful trial production of its high matte nickel production line and announced the three-year expansion plan, which led to the nickel price falling by nearly 15% for two consecutive days. The loose supply in the nickel market is expected to increase, and the upward momentum of prices is insufficient.
