SUMMARY
 
World: Global cement demand in 2023 reached 4.025 million tons, down 1.2% over the same period, due to real estate stagnation and crisis in many places amid high interest rates. According to GCR15, global trade in cement and clinker has increased from 176 million tons in 2012 to 226 million tons in 2022. By 2023, weak global cement demand combined with environmental policies and emission reduction roadmaps of some countries will also have a significant impact on the trade flow of the cement industry, especially in Western Europe, China, and America.
 
Vietnam: The domestic cement industry still faces many difficulties; the Production output of the entire industry in the year stagnated; Industry-wide consumption continued to decrease by 5.8% over the same period. Mainly because demand in some markets has not recovered. Domestic cement consumption also decreased by 8.1% over the same period and decreased steadily in all three regions.
 
According to forecasts of some international organizations, global trade volume may increase slightly again and be nearly equivalent to 2022. Particularly in Vietnam, domestic cement consumption is expected to grow positively in 2024, thanks to public investment, infrastructure projects, and the restart of some large real estate projects after being cleared of obstacles. But the increase is difficult to break through.
