According to the Vietnam Cement Association, total cement production capacity in the country reached 86 million tons this year, while its local demand was at 60 million tons. Vietnam Cement Association predicted an oversupply of nearly 50Mt/yr by 2020. To help ease the oversupply in the domestic market, Vietnam Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) has proposed a reduction in its cement export tax which is currently set at  5%. If the export tax is removed, hopefully it can become more competitive compared to neighboring Chinese, Indonesian, Thai and Japanese cement players.

Where are the demand targets ? Are Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Australia, Cambodia, Nepal the solution to relieve the surplus capacity? Or further away to Africa or even South America? 

Cement industry is a very carbon-intensive business and cement manufacturers are under increasing pressure to modify their business strategies and production process to reduce their carbon footprint and work towards a sustainable and efficient business. What innovative technologies are available and their economics given a challenging economic climate ahead? Is the market ready for green cement?
