China's cement output picked up in July as recovering economic activities drove demand for the building material, official data showed.
China produced 220 million tonnes of cement in July, up 3.6% year-on-year, according to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).
In the first seven months of this year, the aggregate cement output fell 3.5% year-on-year to 1.22 billion tonnes, narrowing the drop registered in the first half of the year by 1.3 percentage points.
The MIIT data showed that the sector's total revenues declined 5.5% year-on-year to 510.9 billion yuan (about 74.7 billion U.S. dollars) in the January-July period, compared with a decrease of 6.1% in the first half.
Its combined profits stood at 92.6 billion yuan in the first seven months of this year.
