The average price of C30 concrete nationwide in August 2026 was 264.
24 yuan/ton, a decrease of 3.
29 yuan/ton or 1.
23% compared to July’s 267.
53 yuan/ton, indicating a weak overall market operation.
In terms of cost, the center of gravity of cement and gravel prices has shifted downward this month, and the continuous decline in cost has become one of the core drivers of the weakening of concrete prices.
On the supply side, due to extreme weather conditions, large-scale rainfall in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Fujian has led to a significant reduction in the transportation volume of concrete enterprises, resulting in a low capacity utilization rate.
After the impact of rainfall weather weakened in the later stage, the recovery of capacity utilization rate was also relatively limited.
In terms of demand, the current momentum for the recovery of the housing construction industry is still insufficient, with only key infrastructure projects supporting basic needs, which has significantly suppressed the demand for concrete.
Market transactions are weak, and prices are under overall pressure and downward.
