The cement industry is currently facing two serious problems, one is the rapid decline in demand, and the other is the serious overcapacity. In this case, the association should not only take the initiative and actively appeal to the government to bring policy dividends to the industry, but also provide value-added services for member units according to the needs of members. To strengthen the work of "anti-involution and steady growth", we need more work from associations at all levels. I have a few suggestions for your reference:

In August 2025, large-scale protests and riots broke out throughout Indonesia, causing social unrest and unprecedented challenges for the cement industry. Previously, Indonesia's cement industry has been affected by infrastructure slowdown, weak demand and environmental pressure. The riots caused transport hubs to be blocked, affecting the supply of raw materials and the distribution of finished products, increasing production costs, delaying many projects and reducing construction demand. The stock market and bond market are under pressure, and the outflow of foreign capital delays the recovery of the industry. China's cement companies in Indonesia have also been hit. In the short term, the industry may decline and costs will rise. If the government quells the riots, it may take advantage of the rebound in infrastructure investment.

From the perspective of regions, except for Sumatra and Maluku-Papua, which achieved growth in cement sales due to the demand for infrastructure projects, the sales of cement in other regions showed a downward trend, and the overall cement market was significantly affected by the progress of infrastructure projects.
