In the first half of 2025, total cement and clinker consumption across Vietnam (including exports) reached 53.79 million tons, marking a 12.7% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Domestic demand surged impressively to 36.89 million tons, up 15.5% year-over-year.
Among market leaders, VICEM reaffirmed its industry-leading position with 10.11 million tons consumed, a robust 18.7% increase. Joint ventures contributed 6.38 million tons (+13.2%), while the non-state sector reached 20.10 million tons (+14.6%).
Following consolidated results across its member units, VICEM’s parent company recorded a profit of VND 192.7 billion, marking a major turnaround from the loss in the same period last year. This strong recovery demonstrates VICEM’s effective governance and resilience in an increasingly competitive market.
Looking ahead to Q3 and the rest of the year, domestic cement demand is expected to continue rising, driven by accelerated public investment, particularly in infrastructure and construction. The real estate sector is also projected to recover as legal bottlenecks begin to ease.
Notably, VICEM has been positioned by the government not only as a commercial entity but also as a market stabilizer and industry leader, with a key responsibility to preserve State capital and support national infrastructure development.
Still, the cement industry faces multiple challenges:
- Early onset of stormy weather in the North and Central regions is likely to disrupt construction progress;
- Increasing price competition and market saturation;
- Shifting demand patterns from bagged cement to bulk, and from premium to lower-cost products, placing pressure on profit margins.
In response, VICEM has prioritized its “Green Cement” strategy, focusing on:
- Expanding mining capacity to secure raw material supply;
- Upgrading production lines to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption;
- Investing in waste heat recovery power systems at cement plants – reducing electricity costs and cutting CO₂ emissions, in line with sustainable development goals.
In this green transition journey, Supas Vietnam is proud to stand alongside VICEM and the broader cement industry, delivering high-quality, environmentally responsible solutions and supporting the sustainable future of Vietnam’s construction sector.
