In July 2025, China produced 146 million tons of cement, marking a 5% year-on-year decline, the lowest level for the month since 2009. The drop is caused by the downturn in the real estate sector, weak infrastructure investment and government reforms forcing manufacturers to adjust capacity. The decline is a signal of the fragility of the Chinese economy, affecting other sectors such as industrial production and retail sales.
