Myanmar came into power, the real estate industry in Myanmar has developed considerably, but building materials in Myanmar are scarce, and cement and other building materials are mainly imported from Malaysia, China, India, Bangladesh and Thailand. < br/>
In recent years, with the localization of cement manufacturing, the import volume of cement in Myanmar has been decreasing year by year. Relevant data show that Myanmar's cement imports so far in fiscal year 2017-2018 are only $56 million, half of the $113 million in the same period in fiscal year 2016-2017. Therefore, many foreign cement manufacturing enterprises have come to Myanmar to invest and set up factories in view of the vigorous development and bright prospects of Myanmar's infrastructure construction. < br/>
According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 15 cement plants in Myanmar, with a production capacity of more than 16 million tons, but the actual output is only about 12 million tons.
As of 2018, the number of trucks legally registered in Myanmar has exceeded 370,000. In such a market environment with unbalanced supply and demand and transportation, many cement plants have been operating in debt and some cement plants have been eliminated. Development status
of cement industry
in Myanmar 1) Although the demand is very large, the consumption is very concentrated, and the consumption is very small in almost half a year, resulting in the factory having to stop production every year;
2) The cement market demand increases sharply in the short term, but the existing market logistics system can not quickly consume the huge transportation volume, which makes the automobile freight increase substantially during this period;
3) The sharp rise in cement freight has brought cost pressure to cement production enterprises, and this part of the cost is ultimately transferred to users, which is an unhealthy market economy form;
4) The production cost keeps rising. According to incomplete statistics, the average price of cement market in Myanmar remained balanced in the five years from 2014 to 2019, but the production cost increased by 30% due to raw materials, transportation costs, exchange rate changes and other factors;
5) The huge contrast between the cement market in the off-season and the peak season further exploits the profits of business owners. According to incomplete statistics, the cement price in the off-season (June-December) is about 30% lower than that in the peak season (January-May) , while the cement freight in the peak season is about 50% higher than that in the off-season;
6) The imperfect and unsound transportation infrastructure network in Myanmar is a major transportation challenge faced by major cement manufacturers.
According to the survey, the largest cement plant in Myanmar is the Myanmar Double Rhinoceros Cement Plant, with a daily output of up to 14000 tons. Recently, the cement plant has made another "big move".
On the basis of the original two mature production lines, new technology will be introduced to build a new cement plant with a daily output of 5000 tons of clinker in Yangon and develop the third production line. Separate the cement clinker and grinding process in
cement production, separate the final product stage, and establish a production industry with green benefits near the Yangon market. Once the cement grinding station is completed, the double rhinoceros cement plant will greatly improve the output and quality of cement and reduce transportation costs on the basis of the original production. Is
this means of operation caused by the fierce competition in the cement industry, or is it driven by the so-called industry profits? I think the answer is obvious!
