The profit growth of the flat glass industry has been increased by 81% in the construction materials industry in 2017.

Conscientiously implement the party central committee under the state council in 2017, the building materials industry policy decisions, accelerate structural reforms, supply side to solve the excess capacity, and further promote the joint reorganization, accurate implementation of peak production, under the condition of the market demand continued to slow, economic efficiency improved significantly, the continuous optimization of industrial structure, good stability of economic operation.

1. Characteristics of economic operation of building materials industry in 2017.

Production continues to grow. In 2017, the production of building materials kept growing, and the added value of the industry grew by 3.6 percent year-on-year, which was 0.8 percentage points lower than the previous three quarters. Cement output was 2.32 billion tons, down 0.2% from a year earlier. Flat glass production of 790 million weight boxes, up 3.5 percent year on year; The laminated glass, ceramic tile, commodity concrete and so on achieve rapid growth.

(2) a sharp recovery in the price level. The average price of building materials was up 8.2 percent year on year, reversing two consecutive years of decline. Among them, the price of cement rose significantly. The average price of cement in December was 384 yuan/ton, up 26% year on year. The price of flat glass rose steadily, rising steadily since September, and the average price in December rose by 8.5%.

(3) obvious improvement in economic benefits. The main business revenue of the building materials industry was 7.5 trillion yuan, an increase of 8% year-on-year. The profit was 517.3 billion yuan, up 17% year on year. Sales margin of 6.9 percent, higher than the entire industry 0.4 percentage points. The asset-liability ratio of the building materials industry was 50.6%, down by 1.2 percentage points compared with the previous year. The total loss was 27.1 billion yuan, down 24% from the previous year. Cement industry revenue climbed to 915 billion yuan, up 18% year on year. Profit was 87.7 billion yuan, up 94 percent year on year. The flat glass industry revenue reached 75.9 billion yuan, up 20% year on year. Profit was 9.3 billion yuan, up 81 percent year on year. Concrete and cement products, sanitary ceramics, technical glass, glass fiber and products, non-metallic mineral products and other industries have also performed well.

(4) exports have declined year-on-year. Exports of building materials were $30.6bn, down 1.3 per cent year on year, down from the previous three quarters. The average annual export price was down 52% year on year. In the main export commodities, the export of construction sanitary ceramics fell 3.1 percent year on year, and the amount increased by 1.8 percent. Exports of construction and technology glass were up 2.9 per cent year on year, and the amount was down 1.5 per cent. The export volume of construction stone was basically flat, and the amount of stone was reduced by 17%. The export of glass fiber and products was good, and the export volume and amount increased by 10% and 9.2% respectively.

The main contradictions and problems in existence.

(I) there is no fundamental solution to the problem of excess capacity, and there is a downside risk to the operation of the industry. In the whole year, the growth rate of the building materials industry is slowing down. Most of the excess capacity is only temporarily closed, and production can resume once the market situation improves. Especially the clinker cement 2500 tons/day and the following capacity (ratio above 30%), energy consumption, emission levels significantly lagged behind the large NSP production line, the competition is weak, how to further marketization, government by law way to push this part of the capacity of the exit is excess capacity to resolve the difficulty.

(2) weak demand growth and the first negative growth in investment in building materials industry. National fixed asset investment grew 7.2% year-on-year in 2017, real estate, transportation, water conservancy, public facilities, and other areas of the infrastructure investment growth fell back in different degree, fixed asset investment demand weakened in bulk building materials such as cement products. Building materials industry in 2017 completed investment in fixed assets of 1.55 trillion yuan, for the first time fell by 1.7%, compared to the same segment in the industry only concrete and cement products, fiber and composite materials, building sanitary ceramics to maintain growth, building materials industry to foster and improve traditional industry transformation lost momentum.

(3) the price of production factors is rising and external constraints are becoming tighter. Since 2017, coal, natural gas, soda ash, such as bulk raw material prices rose significantly, road transport for ultra high logistics costs, strengthening supervision of environmental protection, building materials enterprises to "debt" to realize the discharging standard, also must increase investment in energy conservation and emissions reduction and other special technical transformation, and increase the enterprise operating pressure.

Iii. Outlook on the situation and work considerations in 2018.

The year 2018 is the first year to implement the party's spirit of the 19th century. It is the 40th anniversary of the reform and opening up. It is a crucial year for the decisive victory of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and the implementation of the 13th five-year plan. According to the situation of building materials industry, although the market demand growth is limited, the scale still maintains a high level. It is expected that the construction of the building materials industry will maintain a steady growth in 2018. The growth rate of the added value of the industry will be basically flat with the previous year, and the economic benefits and industrial structure will continue to improve. Standing at a new historical starting point, the building materials industry to thoroughly study and apply its 19 big spirit, new era to xi jinping, the ideas of socialism with Chinese characteristics as the guidance, practice of new development concept, adhere to seek improvement in stability overall tone, deepen structural reform, the supply side to speed up the implementation from rapid growth to the development of high quality, strive to build a modern building materials industrial system. In 2018, the building materials industry should focus on the following tasks:

One is to push back to capacity. It is strictly prohibited to expand the production capacity of cement and glass projects in any name in any name, and the necessary construction projects should strictly implement the implementation of production capacity replacement to ensure that the total capacity is only reduced; The cement glass industry is fully implemented with emission permits, and the excess capacity of cement glass is reduced by means of marketization. Further research and revision of standards and adjustment policies to limit the production and use of 32.5 grades of low-grade cement; We will continue to push forward market entities to pilot production capacity through joint reorganization through joint reorganization in jilin province and shahe city of hebei province, and explore the establishment of industrial structure adjustment funds. To supervise and punish illegal construction and expansion projects and crack down on illegal and illegal production and counterfeit and shoddy products; Guide the industry to accurately implement the wrong peak production.

The second is the demand traction patch. To study and put forward to expand green building materials production and consumption of incentive policy, improve the unified national standard of green building materials, authentication and identification system, and guide the development of green building materials and parts are building materials and standardized raw materials; In order to realize new material commercialization for traction, speed up the glass materials, advanced ceramics, artificial crystal, mineral functional materials, high performance fiber and composite materials, new materials such as graphene demonstration application, cultivate new growth points; We will continue to organize targeted poverty alleviation for non-metallic mineral industries and promote the construction of characteristic industrial bases for mineral functional materials.

Third, innovation-driven growth. To revise the catalogue of technologies and products for the promotion and application of the building materials industry, to provide support for the implementation of differentiated credit; Promote advanced and applicable intelligent manufacturing technology, pilot demonstration "machine generation", build intelligent factory; We will continue to carry out the cooperative treatment and extension project, and use cement kilns to dispose of household garbage and industrial solid waste. In ceramics, refractory materials and other industries to research and promote pollution reduction, energy conservation and consumption of new technologies. To guide and promote the transformation of cleaner production; Improve cement enterprises' "go out" country guidelines and project libraries to promote international production capacity cooperation.

Fourth, enhance the ability to serve. To strengthen the basic work of industry management, strengthen operation monitoring and analysis, propose Suggestions on countermeasures to the tendency and seedling problems, promote the coordination of the department, and promote the root of industrial policy; We will play a leading role in the guidance and standardization of compulsory standards, and promote the formulation of the standard of pollutant discharge limits for cement clinker pollutants and the standard of harmful substances for decoration and decoration materials. We will continue to carry out the reform of "management and administration", and the pilot building materials industry standard will announce the self-declaration and strengthen the after-the-post supervision. We will strengthen the guidance and exchanges of local industry authorities and trade associations, standardize the competition order, create a favorable environment, and promote sound growth, structural adjustment and increasing efficiency of the building materials industry.
