Prices of raw materials in the building materials market soared in the spring or increased again

Recently, furniture and building materials products have begun to raise prices on a large scale. Yesterday, the reporter visited the road building materials market in Changsha. It was found that in the past two months, the construction materials such as cement, coatings, and wood had risen loudly, and many raw materials prices had almost doubled.

Cement sand timber up to 50%

Yesterday at 3 pm, the reporter saw in Changsha building materials market that there was a continuous stream of citizens and decoration workers who came to pick up the goods. When asked about the price, there was one of the most popular buzzwords in their answer: “It has gone up.” Wang Jixing, head of Jixing Jialejia Decoration Co., Ltd., told reporters that sand, cement, and ceramic tiles are all better than January. A lot has gone up. "A 100-square-meter house was installed and it was nearly 10,000 more than it was a year ago." He said that a bag of cement sold for 15 yuan a few days ago. In the past few days, it sold 23 yuan per bag. One price per day."

According to the owner of a hardware store on Luoyang Road in Sifang District, compared with the same period of last year, the prices of materials in the building materials industry have already risen to varying degrees, with the overall increase in the price of wood exceeding 10%. Prices of materials in a number of construction materials industries, including ceramics, wood, coatings, and hardware industries, have risen by 10%-20%, and sand has risen from 70 yuan per cubic meter to 100 yuan, up by about 40%, while rising prices. The fastest cement is the increase of 50%.

More than six months late decoration 30,000

“A 100-square-meter house with 3 cubic meters of sand will cost you 100 yuan more. Not to mention the furniture, the furniture will rise even more.” Mr. Han, who recently renovated the house in the northern part of the city, experienced first-hand the price rise of building materials. The “tough experience” brought about by the same decoration company, the same furniture store, because the time is half a year late, he actually had a total of 30,000 yuan more than his neighbors! Not only the prices of raw materials such as paint, cement, and wood have risen, but downstream products such as furniture have also risen more than 30%.

“The rising price of home furnishing materials will inevitably affect our downstream furniture companies and force us to adjust the prices of our products.” The head of a furniture market said that on the other hand, due to the damage to the forest area in southern China, As a result, the production and transportation of new logs and sawn timber have stagnated. Then there is the rapid increase in the prices of logs and sawn timber imported from Russia, which are transmitted to downstream furniture companies.

"Heaven and Earth" force building materials rose

“The tight supply of the timber market, coupled with the large increase in the price of imported wood, has led to an increase in the overall price of the timber market. This is the main factor in the increase in the price of timber.” said Li Yunzhong, general manager of Qingdao Meixin Interior Doors' Qingdao agent. The rise in prices of the building materials industry is mainly affected by three factors. The first is the rise in raw material prices, such as the rise in the price of wood. The second is the increase in the price of labor, which has led to an increase in labor costs for enterprises. The third reason is that the increase in energy prices such as oil prices also increases the cost of building materials production.

“In a nutshell, the rise in prices in the building materials industry is a combination of multiple factors that are complicated, so the impact on the entire furniture industry is inevitable. It is basically impossible for furniture companies to avoid the impact of price increases. ."

It is expected that the renovation will increase prices next year

The winter decoration market has already been staged similar to last summer's phenomenon of “not being off-season”. This has also led many consumers to target the preconditions of “construction for various new years” and the abundance of construction workers. Many building materials manufacturers also "Indigestion" of factory inventory in 2009, to absorb more funds for market operations in the coming year, took up different degrees of profit sharing activities, and to attract more consumer demand.

However, some insiders admit that, like the main materials such as cabinets, floors, and ceramic tiles, the coming spring will surely rise to varying degrees. Although there will be some concessions, the material cost, processing costs, labor and store expenses will increase. The actual discount rate for building materials will be much lower than in previous years, and it may even happen that the brand products “double price increase and reject counter-offer” in the peak season of home improvement.
