Vietnam cement industry expanded by 0.9% in 2020, mainly driven by buoyant clinker
and cement export activities

1. Demand Analysis
Figure 1: Total sales volume of cement & clinker in Vietnam, mn tons Figure 2: Annual sales growth of Vietnam cement industry
Source: FiinResearch from VNCA, General Customs
Cement & clinker export volume in 2019 is amended to 30.8mn tons (compared to 30.7mn
tons in Vietnam Cement Market Report 2020) to reflect the revised official data from
General Customs.
Source: FiinResearch from VNCA, General Customs
▪ Total clinker and cement sales in Vietnam stayed at 97.5mn tons in 2020, expanding by 0.9% (YoY). Of which, domestic cement consumption
reached 62.3 million tons in 2020, declining by 5.4% (YoY) while clinker and especially cement export remained strong with a surge by 14.3% (YoY) in
export volume in 2020.
▪ The deceleration in domestic demand could be explained by negative impact of COVID-19. Construction activities were disrupted due to the
stringent measures taken by the government to contain the spread of COVID-19 as well as real estate developers’ reluctance to launch new projects
due to negative market outlook. Following the subdued construction growth in the first half of 2020, the industry was showing signs of regaining the
momentum thanks to the improvement in the public investment disbursement in 2H2020, however, domestic cement demand stayed low with a 5.4%
decrease for the whole year 2020.
• Clinker and especially cement export remained strong thanks to rising demand from China and Philippines. China remained the key destination for
clinker & cement export from Vietnam in 2020, which could be explained by the temporary supply shortage in the South of China due to
environmental protection inspections as well as rising cement demand from infrastructure developments in the South of China to support economic
growth amid COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, domestic clinker price in the South of China kept increasing during the period 2020-2021, triggering
Chinese buyers to source clinker and cement from Vietnam.

DOMESTIC MARKET
• There was an apparent divergence in growth momentum of domestic market across the country, with a slight increase by 1.8% in Central while sales
volume in the North and the South contracted by 8.2% and 6.5%, respectively. The remarkable rise of Central cement sales can be attributed to an
increase in demand for rebuilding and reconstruction as a result of the destruction of the heavy storms in the summer. In addition, a boost in
construction of industrial parks, mainly focused on the provinces of the Central region, despite the downward trend across the real estate segments
also contributed to the region’s significant increase.
• The decline in the North and South of Vietnam mainly due to negative impact of COVID-19 due to social distancing, real estate developers’
reluctance to launch new projects due to negative market outlook. In 2020, the condominium market in Ho Chi Minh City recorded a significant drop
in new launch supply, reaching 17,272 units, a decrease of 35% y-o-y. This number signified a dramatic downturn in term of projects, reporting a
total of 21 projects were launched in 2020 compared to 36 projects in 2019.

Clinker and cement export volume continued strong growth momentum in 2020 thanks to
high demand from Chinese and Philippine buyers
Source: FiinResearch, General Customs
• Cement & clinker export activities maintained an upward trend for five consecutive years, reaching 35.2 million tons in 2020. The market was driven
high demand from both “traditional” export markets including China and the Philippines as well as new markets including South Africa and US.
• Clinker export volume to China hiked in Q3.2020 thanks to the recovery of construction sector & cement price in China. Multiple local
investment projects, especially large-scaled infrastructure projects in the South of China including interconnection of infrastructure in the
Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Hainan Free Trade Port, started construction as Chinese government’s measure to
support the economic growth amid COVID-19 pandemic. On the supply side, Chinese Government continued to maintain restrictive
environment protection policies on cement factories in the effort to address China's pollution situation, resulting in a decrease in actual
production and triggering Chinese buyers to source clinker and cement from Vietnam.
• Cement export volume to the Philippines remained high thanks to “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure development program by the
Philippines Government.
• In addition, Vietnamese cement manufacturers also managed to diversify the cement export destinations to other markets including South
Africa, Malaysia, US, contributing to the buoyant clinker and cement export activities in 2020.

Port, Cua Lo Port and Nghi Son Port accounted for 96% of total cement export volume in 2020.
EXPORT PRICE
• Except for Q1.2020, cement export price remained stable during the review period 2020 – 2021 with the average FOB price of US$44.7, US$40.2 and
US$38.1 per ton at Hon Gai Port, Cua Lo Port and Nghi Son Port, respectively. In particular, Q1.2020 recorded the active participation of premium
brand-owners including VICEM Hai Phong, Chinfon, VICEM Ha Long in cement export activities, resulting in high average FOB export price at Hon Gai
Port.
• FOB clinker export price at Cam Pha Port was highly volatile with a surge by 20.7% (QoQ) & 18.8% (QoQ) in Q3.2020 & Q1.2021. Of which, the surge in
Q1.2020 was mainly driven by high demands from Chinese buyers while the surge in Q1.2021 was attributed to high demand of both Chinese and
Bangladesh buyers. Please kindly refer to Page 13 for in-depth analysis of clinker demand of Chinese and Bangladesh buyers in 2021-Q1.2021 as well

including the Philippines & China as well as Vietnamese cement manufacturers’ effort to tap on new markets.
• FiinGroup assigns positive outlook for Philippine market thanks to public spending on infrastructure and social assistance, better progress in
the country’s coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccination drive in this country. In fact, the Philippine government’s expansionary fiscal program,
accommodative monetary policy and infrastructure development program will put the economy on a firm recovery path by the second half of
2021, especially construction sector, indicating rising demand for cement from Philippine buyers.
• In addition, Chinese buyers continue to source clinker from Vietnam as clinker export price remained high, attributing to the high growth
projection for the period 2021-2030.

  • 3. 3 Biinform® Portal Vietnam cement industry expanded by 0.9% in 2020, mainly driven by buoyant clinker and cement export activities Vietnam Cement Market Report 2021 – Sample Content 1. Demand Analysis Figure 1: Total sales volume of cement & clinker in Vietnam, mn tons Figure 2: Annual sales growth of Vietnam cement industry Source: FiinResearch from VNCA, General Customs Cement & clinker export volume in 2019 is amended to 30.8mn tons (compared to 30.7mn tons in Vietnam Cement Market Report 2020) to reflect the revised official data from General Customs. Source: FiinResearch from VNCA, General Customs ▪ Total clinker and cement sales in Vietnam stayed at 97.5mn tons in 2020, expanding by 0.9% (YoY). Of which, domestic cement consumption reached 62.3 million tons in 2020, declining by 5.4% (YoY) while clinker and especially cement export remained strong with a surge by 14.3% (YoY) in export volume in 2020. ▪ The deceleration in domestic demand could be explained by negative impact of COVID-19. Construction activities were disrupted due to the stringent measures taken by the government to contain the spread of COVID-19 as well as real estate developers’ reluctance to launch new projects due to negative market outlook. Following the subdued construction growth in the first half of 2020, the industry was showing signs of regaining the momentum thanks to the improvement in the public investment disbursement in 2H2020, however, domestic cement demand stayed low with a 5.4% decrease for the whole year 2020. • Clinker and especially cement export remained strong thanks to rising demand from China and Philippines. China remained the key destination for clinker & cement export from Vietnam in 2020, which could be explained by the temporary supply shortage in the South of China due to environmental protection inspections as well as rising cement demand from infrastructure developments in the South of China to support economic growth amid COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, domestic clinker price in the South of China kept increasing during the period 2020-2021, triggering Chinese buyers to source clinker and cement from Vietnam.

Demand Analysis Figure 3: Vietnam domestic cement sales volume by region, mn tons Figure 4: Vietnam domestic cement sales growth by region Source: FiinResearch from VNCA Source: FiinResearch from VNCA DOMESTIC MARKET • There was an apparent divergence in growth momentum of domestic market across the country, with a slight increase by 1.8% in Central while sales volume in the North and the South contracted by 8.2% and 6.5%, respectively. The remarkable rise of Central cement sales can be attributed to an increase in demand for rebuilding and reconstruction as a result of the destruction of the heavy storms in the summer. In addition, a boost in construction of industrial parks, mainly focused on the provinces of the Central region, despite the downward trend across the real estate segments also contributed to the region’s significant increase. • The decline in the North and South of Vietnam mainly due to negative impact of COVID-19 due to social distancing, real estate developers’ reluctance to launch new projects due to negative market outlook. In 2020, the condominium market in Ho Chi Minh City recorded a significant drop in new launch supply, reaching 17,272 units, a decrease of 35% y-o-y. This number signified a dramatic downturn in term of projects, reporting a total of 21 projects were launched in 2020 compared to 36 projects in 2019. -10% -5% 0% 5% 10% 15% 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 North South Central 0 15 30 45 60 75 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 North South Central The deceleration in domestic demand in 2020 due to negative impact of COVID-19 Note: Some figures were removed in this Sample Content.
  • 5. 5 Clinker and cement export volume continued strong growth momentum in 2020 thanks to high demand from Chinese and Philippine buyers Source: FiinResearch, General Customs • Cement & clinker export activities maintained an upward trend for five consecutive years, reaching 35.2 million tons in 2020. The market was driven high demand from both “traditional” export markets including China and the Philippines as well as new markets including South Africa and US. • Clinker export volume to China hiked in Q3.2020 thanks to the recovery of construction sector & cement price in China. Multiple local investment projects, especially large-scaled infrastructure projects in the South of China including interconnection of infrastructure in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Hainan Free Trade Port, started construction as Chinese government’s measure to support the economic growth amid COVID-19 pandemic. On the supply side, Chinese Government continued to maintain restrictive environment protection policies on cement factories in the effort to address China's pollution situation, resulting in a decrease in actual production and triggering Chinese buyers to source clinker and cement from Vietnam. • Cement export volume to the Philippines remained high thanks to “Build, Build, Build” infrastructure development program by the Philippines Government. • In addition, Vietnamese cement manufacturers also managed to diversify the cement export destinations to other markets including South Africa, Malaysia, US, contributing to the buoyant clinker and cement export activities in 2020.
