Kazakhstan Cement Market Synopsis
Kazakhstan cement market has experienced a strong growth in the past few years. The country is one of the fastest growing economies in Central Asia and this trend is expected to continue over the coming years. The Kazakh government has invested heavily into infrastructure projects, which have spurred demand for building materials like cement. Cement production increased from 5 million tons in 2010 to 7 million tons in 2017, indicating that demand is rising steadily. In addition, Kazakhstan?s imports of cement grew by 6% year on year during 2018-2019 period.
The largest producer of cement in Kazakhstan is Kostanaycement (formerly known as Kostanaycement JSC). This company produces more than 50% of all Kazakhstani-made cement and controls more than 60% share of domestic sales volume. Furthermore, it distributes its products domestically and abroad through 20 regional offices located throughout Kazakhstan as well as Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan. Other leading producers include Shymkentcement JSC (17%), Aktobecement JSC (12%) and Pavlodarcement JSC (10%).
Cement prices are regulated by state authorities; they tend to be slightly lower compared to regional competitors such as Russia or Uzbekistan but higher when compared with countries like Turkey or Iran due to higher logistics costs associated with transporting goods from Kazakhstan due to lack of good quality roads connecting major cities within the country itself or neighboring countries outside it`s borders . Despite this disadvantageous factor there are still some competitive advantages that could enable local producers tap into foreign markets such export experience/ know how , low labour cost etc.
In conclusion, despite some challenges posed by domestic regulation on pricing & transportation ,the outlook for Kazakhstani cement market looks positive given steady rise in construction activity , increasing investments from both private & public sector towards infrastructural development projects & emergence of new players.
