Sichuan Guoding, based on years of industry experience and expert analysis, predicts that by 2020, the domestic demand for sand and gravel aggregates will reach 16 billion tons, with an average annual growth rate of more than 10% in industrial added value and total profits. Sand and gravel practitioners need to grasp the future development trend of the sand and gravel aggregate industry from the following five aspects:

Development trend of sand and gravel aggregates 1: Natural sand resources are rapidly decreasing

Natural sand and gravel aggregate resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and prices continue to rise. After years of mining, natural sand resources are rapidly decreasing, and in some areas, natural sand is almost exhausted. In order to protect river embankments and dams and maintain ecological balance, local governments will increase river restrictions and strictly prohibit mining.

Development trend of sand and gravel aggregates 2: The construction of machine-made sand production bases has a strong momentum of development

With the requirements of infrastructure construction technology and the development of high technology, there are higher requirements for the quantity and quality of sand and gravel. Artificial sand and gravel have become the main development direction and industrial entity of the transformation and upgrading of the industrial structure of the sand and gravel industry, and it is also one of the key tasks for the standardized development of the industry.

With the huge changes in sand and gravel prices in 2018, many companies in upstream and downstream industries are very optimistic about the development prospects of the sand and gravel industry and the business opportunities of mineral resource development and utilization. They have invested in the construction of large and medium-sized sand and gravel production bases. At the same time, major domestic cement enterprise groups have begun to get involved in and layout the sand and gravel aggregate industry according to the development trend of the industry.

The involvement of more enterprises has injected new impetus into the development of the sand and gravel aggregate industry, becoming a new force to promote the high-quality and high-level development of sand and gravel trading. A number of large and medium-sized machine-made sand and gravel production bases with strong strength, high level and standardized management will be built and put into operation one after another.

Development trend of sand and gravel aggregates 3: Strengthening enterprise management in the sand and gravel industry

Local governments have stepped up enterprise management efforts in the sand and gravel industry, set deadlines for rectification and forcibly closed small, substandard sand mining plants in various locations, and vigorously implemented integration, mergers and reorganizations to make the plants bigger and stronger.

Driven by national policies and development strategies such as extending the industrial chain, the survival of the fittest within the industry is conducive to the improvement of the overall scale of the industry and its industrial development.

Standardized mining design and implementation plans for industrialized production processes will become important measures for the formal development of the industry.

Development trend of sand and gravel aggregates 4: industrial upgrading and extension of industrial chain

On the basis of eliminating and closing the backward traditional sand and gravel mining industry production capacity, the industrial chain is extended. Such as: ready-mixed, cement products, fine powder, ultra-fine powder and other products.

On the premise of improving production technology, product standards and raising industry entry barriers, moderate development based on market capacity will be a reflection of the industry's mature, stable and virtuous cycle development.

Improving resource allocation capabilities and resource utilization efficiency in the production process, forming multi-level and diversified international trade and cooperation, increasing international market share and improving international competitiveness will serve as the focus and foothold for improving the level of industry development.

Development trend of sand and gravel aggregates 5: scientific and technological progress and harmonious development

The sand and gravel industry will take scientific and technological innovation, technological progress, expanding the scale of the industry and accelerating the transformation of the structural development mode as important support points to lead the development of the industry.

We will focus on energy conservation, emission reduction and the development of a circular economy as the main focus of industry development and progress, achieve the simultaneous development of green environmental protection and a harmonious society, and realize the transformation and upgrading of the industry.
