In December, affected by the tail-in work of infrastructure projects, major projects were rushing to meet the deadline. The weather in East and South China was great, ushering in the "golden period" of construction, and all major projects carry forward steadily and provided certain support for the aggregates demand. At the same time, due to factors such as increased demand for shipping and some rivers entering the dry season, freight rates along some coastal areas increased, leading to an increase in the price of sand and gravel along the coast and the river. It is reported that the Xijiang Ship Lock began to limit the flow, and the number of downstream ships accepted per day is limited to no more than 130. Overall, sand and gravel prices increased to a certain extent in December.

China Aggregates Association calculated the national sand and gravel aggregate prices in December 2023 (the data are from some representative companies). Among them, prices in North China, Southwest and South China remained stable, while prices fell in some areas of Chongqing. Sand prices in Chengdu, Tianshui, Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake along the Yangtze River rose across the board, with the highest increase reaching 12 CNY/ton! Details are as follows:
