During the research process of Century Architecture Network in recent years, a seemingly contradictory phenomenon often appeared: upstream cement companies concentrated on issuing price increase letters, and factory prices continued to rise, but downstream commercial concrete market prices remained stagnant, and even saw raw material prices rise while concrete prices continued to decline.
This deviation in upstream and downstream prices is not simply a result of delayed cost transmission, but rather the fundamental differences in market structure, supply and demand patterns, business models, and funding rules between the cement and concrete industries, combined with weak demand for terminal engineering.
