Indonesia Cement Industry Research Report 2024-2033

Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia with a population of about 280 million at the end of 2023. According to CRI, Indonesia is also the largest producer and consumer of cement in Southeast Asia.

Indonesia has emerged as the sixth-largest cement producer globally, with an estimated production of 66 million metric tons in 2023. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, its impact on the country's cement industry has been relatively moderate. Infrastructure and residential-commercial projects have played a crucial role in sustaining domestic demand during this period.

However, cement consumption remains low in Indonesia, with per capita annual production at no more than 300 kilograms, significantly lower than that of its peers like Malaysia (over 600 kilograms per capita) or Vietnam. According to CRI, this suggests that infrastructure development is still lacking in Southeast Asia's largest economy. The insufficient quality and quantity of infrastructure hinder connectivity, raise logistics costs, reduce business competitiveness, and contribute to social issues, such as limited access to healthcare in rural regions.

The ongoing development of Indonesia's new capital city, IKN, particularly in Sumatra and Eastern Indonesia, has stimulated demand for cement. Leading companies like Semen Indonesia have shifted their focus to the domestic market, capitalizing on improved coal supplies availability in the first half of 2022.

Looking ahead, the cement sector expects significant growth driven by demand from developers undertaking numerous new construction projects, including the construction of a new capital in Borneo Island's jungles. Moreover, Indonesia's ambitious plans for sustained economic growth, with numerous seaports and harbor projects in the pipeline, alongside increasing urbanization, indicate Indonesia will remain a construction hub for years.

However, concerns loom over the industry, including rising production costs, particularly energy-related issues, and worries about the environmental impact of cement production, with instances of local unrest around provincial plants. Furthermore, Indonesia is still grappling with overcapacity in the cement sector, with a utilization level of 54% in 2022 and no expected increase beyond 57% by 2025.

In conclusion, Indonesia's cement industry is expected to have a moderate expansion despite encountering challenges such as fluctuating energy prices, environmental concerns and overcapacity. CRI projects that the production volume of Indonesia's cement industry will rise from 67.32 million metric tons in 2024 to approximately 86.31 million metric tons by 2033, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.8%.
