On September 24th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, and six other departments jointly issued the "Work Plan for Stable Growth of the Building Materials Industry (2025-2026)", which proposes to strive for green building materials revenue to exceed 300 billion yuan by 2026. The plan to strictly prohibit the increase of cement clinker flat glass production capacity has deployed five work measures. One is to strengthen industry management. It is strictly prohibited to increase the production capacity of cement clinker and flat glass. New construction and renovation projects must develop capacity replacement plans to promote the unity of actual production capacity and registered production capacity, and accelerate the transformation of photovoltaic rolled glass production capacity risk warning from project management to planning guidance. Revise specifications for cement, flat glass, and other materials, and promote standardized classification and management of enterprises. The second is to strengthen industrial technological innovation. Strengthen the advanced inorganic non-metallic materials industry, accelerate the development of advanced ceramics, superhard materials, and other complementary industries, cultivate characteristic advantageous resource industries such as graphite, fluorite, and magnesite, and enhance effective supply capacity. The third is to expand effective investment. Accelerate digital and green transformation, release digital transformation system solutions for key industries, promote adaptive transformation and scale upgrading of key business scenarios, and cultivate "60" factories in industries such as cement and flat glass; Strengthen standard guidance, formulate and revise mandatory national standards for the combustion performance of safety glass and insulation materials used in construction, as well as industry standards for the evaluation of green building materials. The fourth is to expand consumer demand. Continuously carry out the "Green Building Materials Going to the Countryside" campaign and implement the policy of government procurement supporting green building materials to promote the improvement of building quality; Support the establishment of upstream and downstream cooperation mechanisms for inorganic non-metallic material production enterprises, and promote the promotion and application of diamond, advanced ceramics, low dielectric glass fiber products, etc. The fifth is to deepen opening up and cooperation. Guide building materials products, technologies, standards, etc. to go global and promote high-level international cooperation. Industry insiders believe that the introduction of the stable growth plan for building materials signifies the formal departure of industry policies from the single capacity regulation model and the transition towards a new stage of building a modern industrial system centered on new quality productivity. The plan establishes a collaborative governance framework among multiple departments, systematically breaking through the barriers between capacity regulation, resource management, environmental constraints, and end market demand, and addressing the long-standing supply-demand imbalance that hinders industry development. In addition, the plan encourages Chinese building materials enterprises to expand their advantageous production capacity, green and low-carbon technologies and standards, rely on their first mover advantages in related fields, participate in and lead the global building materials industry transformation, and inject lasting power into the industry to reshape the value chain and cultivate new quality productivity in structural transformation. On the supply side, policies actively guide factor resources to withdraw from the homogenized competition of traditional building materials and concentrate on new tracks such as green building materials and advanced inorganic non-metallic materials, in order to "free up cages and replace birds" for industrial transformation. On the demand side, measures such as promoting green building materials to rural areas and connecting with the construction of "good houses" will be taken to activate the domestic market and deeply integrate the building materials industry into the development of green buildings and the national "dual carbon" goals. The plan requires that each region should combine its own situation, refine the implementation of target tasks, strengthen policy support, enhance publicity and guidance, and ensure the stable growth of the local building materials industry. Key enterprises should place stable growth in a more prominent position, strengthen their leading and exemplary role in the industrial and supply chains, and promote the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries. Industry associations should play a bridging role, strengthen industry self-discipline, organize staggered production in the cement industry, strengthen policy interpretation, and timely reflect new situations, problems, and countermeasures. Coordinate and make good use of various stock policies and incremental policies to stabilize growth. Expand building materials consumption through policies such as urban renewal, trade in of consumer goods, and green building materials. Policies such as large-scale equipment renewal, ultra long term special treasury bond, scientific and technological innovation and technological transformation refinancing are used to support enterprise equipment renewal and technological transformation. Increase support for the research and application of key advanced inorganic non-metallic materials through channels such as the first batch of insurance compensation mechanisms and industrial investment funds. Fully leverage the role of the People's Bank of China's credit market service platform and the national industry finance cooperation platform to enhance the quality and efficiency of financial services. Provide high-quality financial services to enterprises through green finance, transformational finance, and other means. Strengthen the cultivation and introduction of high-quality industrial talents, and focus on cultivating a group of leading talents, compound talents, and excellent skilled talents. (New Society)
