According to CRI's analysis, with the development of Southeast Asia's economy, infrastructure construction and the real estate industry continue to grow, the demand for cement is increasing year by year.
The development of cement industry in Southeast Asian countries differs greatly, such as Vietnam's annual cement production capacity of more than 100 million tons, in addition to supplying Vietnam's domestic market demand, Vietnam also exports a large number of cement clinker to China every year. And there are several Southeast Asian countries basically do not produce cement, cement products basically all rely on imports.
Southeast Asia in this report includes 10 countries: Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, Laos and Cambodia. With a total population of over 600 million by the end of 2021, Southeast Asia has an overall economic growth rate higher than the global average and is one of the key drivers of future global economic growth.
According to CRI's analysis, the economic levels of the 10 Southeast Asian countries vary greatly, with Singapore being the only developed country with a per capita GDP of about US$73,000 in 2021. While Myanmar and Cambodia will have a GDP per capita of less than US$2,000 in 2021. The population and minimum wage levels also vary greatly from country to country, with Brunei, which has the smallest population, having a total population of less than 500,000 people in 2021, and Indonesia, which has the largest population, having a population of about 275 million people in 2021. The most economically advanced countries in Southeast Asia do not have a legal minimum wage, with the actual minimum wage exceeding US$400 per month (for foreign maids), while the lowest minimum wage level in Myanmar is only about US$93 per month.
According to CRI's forecast, the cement industry in Southeast Asia will continue to grow from 2023-2032. On the one hand, cheap labor and land costs have attracted a large number of foreign investors to shift their production capacity to Southeast Asia, and the expansion of foreign trade has promoted the development of its cement industry. On the other hand, economic growth and the growing construction industry in Southeast Asia will increase the demand for cement, which will also promote the development of the cement industry.
