Accelerating the production of building materials

In the first 6 months of this year, Thai Trung Steel Rolling Joint Stock Company achieved total revenue of over 3,127 billion VND, equal to 61.39% of the yearly plan.

Since the first months of the year, operations at cement production lines in the province have remained stable, with steady output. According to statistics, the province's cement production and consumption in the first 6 months of 2025 reached nearly 1.15 million tons, up 3.5% over the same period last year. The average selling price also increased slightly, reflecting the market's recovery trend.

Of which, Quan Trieu Cement Joint Stock Company, one of the key units, sold nearly 400 thousand tons, completing 52% of the yearly plan and increasing by 21% over the same period. Business results also recorded many bright spots: profit reached more than 7.1 billion VND, equal to 74% of the yearly plan; average income per employee reached 11.3 million VND/person/month, up 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 powdered cement is consumed quite well because it is suitable for the trend of people using ready-mixed concrete in civil construction.

"In addition to product diversification, this year's weather is also quite favorable, helping projects to be implemented on schedule, leading to increased demand for materials," Mr. Tuan added.

Not only cement, many enterprises in the field of synthetic construction materials such as: unburnt bricks, artificial stones, urban bricks... are also on the growth track. At CNT Group Joint Stock Company, the consumption output of key product lines increased by 20% in the first months of the year. The unit has actively expanded its distribution system to meet the increasing demand in the Northern market, 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 civil works, new urban areas and public investment projects are speeding up construction progress, capital disbursement... This is an opportunity for enterprises in the material industry to accelerate, improve revenue and create stable jobs.

Meanwhile, the steel production sector, which is a key industry in the construction materials chain, also had impressive growth. The total output of steel production and consumption in the area reached more than 850 thousand tons, up nearly 26% over the same period and equivalent to 59% of the annual plan.

Typically, at Thai Trung Steel Rolling Factory, the production pace was maintained continuously, with the industrial production value reaching 61% of the yearly plan; consumption output increased by 26%; and workers' income increased by over 3%.

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

The clear recovery of the construction materials industry in Thai Nguyen is not outside the general trend of the whole country. Construction demand is increasing again thanks to the promotion of public investment, the gradual recovery of the civil real estate market and industrial infrastructure. The loosening of credit for construction loans by banks has also helped many projects to restart, leading to an increase in demand for materials.

In the international market, cement and steel export prices have slowed down after a deep decline in 2023. Some traditional markets such as the Philippines, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia are increasing imports again thanks to the recovery in infrastructure demand. This is a favorable condition for Vietnamese enterprises, including Thai Nguyen, to expand their export market share in the last 6 months of the year, thereby reducing the heat of competition in the domestic market.

From the growth in the first half of the year, along with signs of recovery both domestically and internationally, Thai Nguyen's construction materials industry is expected to maintain stable growth momentum in the last months of 2025. In particular, when many large-scale public investment projects in the area are accelerating disbursement progress, the materials market will continue to be vibrant, promising to contribute positively to the overall growth of the province's industrial sector.
