Vietnam’s cement production is increasing rapidly in capacity as well as in the number of companies participating in this sector. Considering about total reality capacity, Vietnam produced 78 Mt in 2017, this figure increased up to 83 Mt in 2018 and expecting, total production capacity of plants will reach nearly 90 Mt in 2019.

Production capacity is increasing highly, while demand is low, so it makes sector be excess supply. According to Vietnam Cement Association (VNCA), whole country will face with excess of 26 Mt in 2017.

The idea solution for excess supply is export, and the largest market is China, when this country has decided to reduce 10% domestic capacity in 2018.

Only in the first 10 months in 2018, export value of Vietnam’s cement reach high volume in over past 4 years, up to 1,1 million USD and continuously increasing in the latest 2 months in 2018.

Formerly, in March 2017, China has concern about reducing 10% capacity of coal, steel and cement to control air pollution.
