Accelerate the production of building materials.

In the first six months of this year, Thai Trung Steel Rolling Joint Stock Company achieved total revenue of over 3,127 billion VND, equivalent to 61.39% of the annual plan.

From the early months of the year, operations at cement production lines in the province have remained stable, with consistent output. According to statistics, the province's cement production and consumption in the first six months of 2025 reached nearly 1.15 million tons, a 3.5% increase compared to the same period last year. Average selling prices also edged up slightly, reflecting the market's recovery trend.

In particular, Quan Trieu Cement Joint Stock Company, one of the key units, consumed nearly 400,000 tons, completing 52% of the annual plan and increasing by 21% compared to the same period last year. The business results also showed many positive points: profit reached over 7.1 billion VND, equivalent to 74% of the annual plan; average employee income reached 11.3 million VND/person/month, an increase of 5% compared to 2024.

Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, Deputy Director of Quan Trieu Cement Joint Stock Company: One of the reasons for the company's good growth is product diversification, in which the powdered cement line is selling quite well because it suits the trend of people using ready-mix concrete in civil construction.

"Besides product diversification, this year's weather has also been quite favorable, helping projects progress on schedule, leading to increased demand for materials," Mr. Tuan further shared.

Not only cement, but many businesses in the general building materials sector, such as non-fired bricks, artificial stone, urban bricks, etc., are also experiencing growth. According to CNT Group Joint Stock Company, sales of its main product lines increased by 20% in the first few months of the year. The company has actively expanded its distribution system to meet the growing demand in the Northern market and new markets in the Central and Southern regions.

Mr. Pham Thai Son, Director of CNT Group Joint Stock Company, said: "The domestic construction market is gradually warming up, especially residential projects, new urban areas, and public investment projects, which are accelerating construction progress and capital disbursement... This is an opportunity for businesses in the construction materials industry to speed up, improve revenue, and create stable jobs."

Meanwhile, the steel manufacturing sector, a key industry in the construction materials chain, also experienced impressive growth. Total steel production and consumption in the area reached over 850,000 tons, an increase of nearly 26% compared to the same period last year and equivalent to 59% of the annual plan.

For example, at Thai Trung Steel Rolling Mill, production was maintained consistently, resulting in industrial production value reaching 61% of the annual plan; sales volume increased by 26%; and employee income increased by over 3%.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Loi, Deputy General Director of Thai Trung Steel Rolling Joint Stock Company, said: "Positive signs are emerging not only domestically but also from the export market. Orders to Southeast Asia and South Asia have shown a recovery trend since the second quarter. This helps us be more proactive in production and maintain growth momentum in the first half of the year."

The significant recovery of the construction materials industry in Thai Nguyen is in line with the general trend nationwide. Construction demand is increasing again thanks to increased public investment, the gradual recovery of the residential real estate market and industrial infrastructure. The easing of credit for construction loans by banks has also helped many projects restart, leading to increased demand for materials.

On the international market, cement and steel export prices have stabilized after a sharp decline in 2023. Some traditional markets such as the Philippines, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia are increasing imports again due to recovering infrastructure demand. This creates favorable conditions for Vietnamese businesses, including those in Thai Nguyen, to expand their export market share in the last six months of the year, leading to reduced competition in the domestic market.

Based on the growth observed in the first half of the year, coupled with signs of recovery both domestically and internationally, the construction materials industry in Thai Nguyen is expected to maintain stable growth in the remaining months of 2025. In particular, with many large-scale public investment projects in the area accelerating their disbursement, the materials market will continue to be vibrant, promising a positive contribution to the overall growth of the province's industrial sector.
