塔牌集团 20251028 水泥行业近年来整体销量呈逐年下降趋势，我们认为这一趋势将继续。然而， 由于地产投资增速持续负增长，对水泥需求产生拖累作用。但在我们区域内， 有多个大型基建项目，如蕉岭长潭水库、商龙高铁、瑞梅铁路和高速公路改扩 建等，这些项目将在未来两三年内对水泥需求形成支撑，有望弥补地产投资减 少带来的负面影响。因此，我们对未来两三年的销量持相对乐观态度。 关于价 格展望，国家工信部等六部委出台了建材行业稳增长工作方案，强调促进备案 产能与实际产能统一，并推行反内卷政策。如果明年开始严格管控生产线超产 行为，将导致供应量显著减少，从而缓解供需矛盾，对价格形成支撑。因此， 我们对 2026 年的价格前景持乐观态度。 短期内对于需求和价格有什么看法？ 四季度是华南地区传统销售旺季，但 9 月和 10 月广东台风较多，对前期需求 造成一定影响。随着天气好转，日销量稳步上升，但与去年同期相比仍有小幅 差距。预计四季度需求将保持旺盛。近期珠三角和福建地区均在推涨价格，同 时广东省计划增加错峰停窑天数，大约 12 到 20 天。如果落实，将对珠三角地 区的水泥价格形成支撑，也会帮助稳定粤东地区的价格。目前粤东 ...
