On July 29, the 2025 Fortune Global 500 list was released, and China National Building Materials Group was shortlisted for the list for the fifteenth consecutive year with US$43.505 billion, ranking 351st. At the same time, building materials companies on the list also include France's Saint-Gobain Group ranking 302nd and Ireland's CRH ranking 457th.
2024 is a key year for the implementation of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and a year for the group's high-quality development to climb over hurdles. In the face of unfavorable business environments such as insufficient market demand, sluggish consumption, and difficult adjustment of the real estate market, China National Building Materials Group firmly grasps the theme of high-quality development, strengthens its resilience and forges ahead in the face of difficulties.
In the list of the world's top 500 companies announced this time, the number of Chinese companies is 130, including 124 mainland (including Hong Kong) companies. Among these 130 Chinese enterprises, China National Building Materials Group, as the only central enterprise in the building materials industry, has rapidly transformed from a cement "one industry-oriented" building materials industry group to a "three-legged" material industry investment group with basic building materials, new materials and engineering technology services.
In the first half of this year, China National Building Materials Group actively responded to risks and challenges such as insufficient demand, cyclical excess and phased surplus, and intensified competition, and made efforts to maintain the industry ecology, promote price stability and expansion, and help stabilize expectations and strengthen confidence with high-quality and stable growth. In the next step, the group will take advantage of the development trend and gather the strength of hard work, keep in mind the "great man of the country" and create the "great material of the country", continue to expand the increment, optimize the stock, grasp the variables, improve the quality, continuously enhance the core functions and enhance the core competitiveness, and lay a solid foundation for the high-quality end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and a good start of the "15th Five-Year Plan".
