Cement March 2015

Second largest cement

market

With nearly 350 million tonnes of cement production capacity, India is the second largest

cement producer in the world. By 2020, cement production will reach to 550 million tonnes

Dominated by private

players

Of the total capacity, 98 per cent lies with the private sector and the rest with public sector,

with the top 20 companies accounting for around 70 per cent of the total production

Higher share of large

plants

188 large cement plants together account for 97 per cent of the total installed capacity,

while 365 small plants account for the rest

Large concentration in

South and West

Of the total 188 large cement plants in India, 77 are located in the states of Andhra

Pradesh, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu

Notes: FY20E Estimated market size for 2020 ^Ministry of External Affairs (Investment and Technology Promotion Division), * December 2014

Robust demand

Robust infrastructure growth during 12th Five Year Plan to drive growth

Demand is expected to be boosted by growth in real estate sector, initiative to build 100 smart cities to give a further stimulus

Long-term potential

Oligopoly market, where large players have partial pricing control

Low threat from substitutes

Attractive opportunities

The North-East, which is witnessing a construction boom, offers attractive investment opportunities

Large planned investments in infrastructure and housing is likely to boost demand for cement in the coming years as well

Increasing investments

Robust investments are being made by the existing players to expand their capacity

Increasing presence of Tier II cement players

Use of alternate fuels to lower production costs and emissions

Note: PPP Purchase Power Parity

As Indias current per capita consumption of cement is much lesser than the developed and other developing economies, there is a significant business opportunity to cater the unmet and rising demand

In order to meet the rising demand, cement companies are expected to pent up production by around 56 MT in the next

three years

12th Five Year Plan, Aranca Research

Cement production increased at a CAGR of 7.3 per cent to 256 million tonnes over FY0714

As per the 12th Five Year Plan, production is expected to reach 407 million tonnes by FY17

Availability of fly-ash (from thermal power plants) and use of advance technology has increased production of blended cement

The environment-friendly blended cement is more cost-efficient to produce, as it requires lesser input of clinker and energy

Increasing presence of

small and mid-size

cement players

Presence of small and mid-size cement players across regions is increasing, which helps

to diminish market concentration of industry leaders

Small and mid-size players have been constantly increasing their installed capacity to

cater to increasing cement demand as increased needs of housing spurt demand

Cost reduction through

the use of alternate

fuels

Major cement manufacturers in India are increasingly using alternate fuels, especially

bioenergy, to fire their kilns

This is not only helping to reduce production costs of cement companies, but is also

proving effective in reducing emissions

Increasing sale of

blended cement

The proportionate sales of blended varieties of cementPortland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) and Portland Blast Furnace Slag Cement (PBFC)has risen over the years

During FY13, blended cement accounted for 75 per cent of total cement production in the

country, compared to merely 24 per cent in FY01*
