With a production capacity of more than 80m tonnes and an exportable surplus of around 30m tonnes per annum, Vietnam has prioritised exports in recent years. The industry is a regular supplier across South-east Asia and even further afield. The country continues to set ambitious export targets in today’s ultra-competitive global markets and Vietnam is the fifth largest cement exporter in the world.
Domestically, 2015 is reported to have seen a 10% year-on-year increase in market demand, according to figures released by VICEM. This occurs as a result of increased spending on housing and government projects driving demand following austerity measures in recent years.
Geographically at the heart of South-east Asia, Vietnam is also the perfect location to look at a number of key markets that impact regional and global cement markets.
The slowdown in China and the possible influences this might have in creating an exportable surplus continues to be a point of discussion and debate across the industry. Key South-east Asian markets including Indonesia, Thailand, Bangladesh and Malaysia have seen the industry landscape changing as new capacity has come on line.
