Concrete Purchase Price Index (MPPI) for April 2026

In April, the domestic concrete market prices remained stable but slightly strong, with the market trend mainly driven by upstream raw material prices.

This month, the prices of cement and sand and gravel, the two main materials, have risen slightly in sync, directly driving the concrete market quotation to follow suit and strengthen.

The overall production capacity of the industry continues to recover and improve, and the capacity utilization rate has increased from 4.

76% at the beginning of April to 6.

49% at the end of the month, with a significant cumulative increase.

The overall weekly shipment volume of the industry remains stable at 1.

3 million cubic meters.

The current concrete market demand is highly dependent on infrastructure projects, with urban expressways, high-speed railways, and other municipal infrastructure projects accounting for over 60% of the demand.

The market demand recovery trend is most prominent in the East and Central China regions.

On the other hand, the market demand in the housing construction field continues to be sluggish, and the tight funding situation in the industry has not been substantially improved.

The number of new projects started by real estate companies is lower than market expectations, and many mixing plants in Southwest China have reported that the actual scale of offline engineering projects is difficult to achieve effective breakthroughs.

Guidelines for Full Process Business, Internal Control, Accounting, and Financial and Tax Risk Avoidance of Commercial Concrete Production

Core features of commercial concrete enterprises: centralized industrial production at designated locations, on-demand production based on orders, no inventory backlog of finished products, integrated production and distribution, single raw materials (cement/sand/fly ash/additives), tanker transportation and distribution, general taxpayers can choose simple tax calculation of 3%, and production and sales data are highly matched with energy consumption.

Different from pure manufacturing and pure construction industries, commercial mixed use enterprises belong to a composite format of building materials production+transportation and distribution, with no product backlog, no finished product inventory, and strong correlation between output and electricity consumption/raw material consumption.

How can the concrete and cement products industries “weave a web” and dance together as the “Six Networks” project with a total of over 7

Recently, “Six Networks” has become a high-frequency buzzword in the economic field that continues to gain popularity.

At the beginning of the 15th Five Year Plan period, the Politburo meeting of the Communist Party of China Central Committee clearly proposed to strengthen the planning and construction of water networks, new power grids, computing power grids, new generation communication networks, urban underground pipelines, logistics networks, and promote the commencement of major engineering projects with mature conditions.

This adjustment marks the comprehensive opening of a new round of systematic and networked new infrastructure in China.
