During this period, the sector garnered a total operating revenue of ¥719.9 billion (approximately US$102.2 billion) up 14.3% y/y, the MIIT said.

The sector's combined profit surged 25.3% y/y to reach ¥131.8 billion, with the profit growth outpacing that of the overall industrial sector by 27.4 percentage points.

Cement price saw continuous drops during the January – August period of 2019, with the August cement price index falling 6.3% from January. The cement industry has made progress in cutting overcapacity through deepening supply-side structural reform and will promote high-quality development in the future, according to the MIIT.
