Vietnam's cement market is expected to post growth recovery in 2024
The cement industry is expected to record strong growth recovery in the Vietnamese market over the medium term. This is based largely on the measures adopted by the government, which include spending increasingly on key transport infrastructure projects and approval of many industrial and urban infrastructures. This, coupled with the expansion efforts of domestic cement firms in global markets like the United States, Australia, Latin America, and Africa, will also support the growth recovery of the cement market in 2024.
The industry is, however, expected to face resistance from regional import markets in the medium term. The Philippines, in particular, is expected to continue to impose temporary anti-dumping taxes on Vietnamese cement products. Other markets like Europe have also implemented carbon emission reduction mechanisms. This has had a negative impact on cement exports from Vietnam over the last few years. The Vietnam Cement Association, in response, has urged businesses to push their trade promotion activities to access more export opportunities.
Overall, a positive growth outlook is forecast for the Vietnamese cement market over the medium term, with public investment projects and infrastructure construction expected to drive sales in H2 2024.
