Regarding construction materials, Mr. Le Trung Thanh, Director of the Department of Science, Technology, Environment and Construction Materials ( Ministry of Construction ) said: cement output in the first 6 months of 2025 is estimated to reach nearly 50 million tons, an increase of 18% over the same period in 2024. Total cement and clinker consumption output reached about 54 million tons, an increase of 14%.
Construction material prices increase abnormally
In the finishing materials group, the output of ceramic tiles reached about 225 million m², of which the consumption output was estimated at 220 million m². For sanitary ware, the production output reached about 6.5 million products (equivalent to 50% of the design capacity), while the consumption output increased by about 12%, reaching more than 7 million products.
Although unburnt construction materials are facing difficulties due to the scarcity of raw materials and the high price of sand - the main input material - by the end of June 2025, the production and consumption output is still estimated to reach 2.5 billion standard bricks (QTC), an increase of 8% over the same period last year.
However, the Department of Science, Technology, Environment and Construction Materials also acknowledged: Prices of some construction materials such as sand, gravel, stone, bricks, filling materials, roadbed materials... have increased abnormally, causing great pressure on construction costs and construction progress of projects. In addition, delays in granting mining licenses, along with signs of speculation, hoarding, and pushing up prices of some essential materials are showing signs of distorting the market and projects negatively affecting public investment and housing.
In order to promptly rectify and overcome the above and stabilize construction material prices, the Department of Science, Technology, Environment and Construction Materials has advised the Minister of Construction to submit to the Prime Minister a dispatch on strengthening management solutions and stabilizing construction material prices to ministries, branches situations and localities.
Immediately afterwards, the Minister of Construction also issued a document guiding localities to seriously implement the contents of the telegram, in order to ensure the construction progress of key national projects as well as meet the needs of housing construction, civil works and real estate projects nationally.
10 businesses with effective business operations
Regarding the operations of enterprises in the construction industry, Mr. Vu Ngoc Anh, Director of the Department of Enterprise Management, said that by the end of June 2025, the total production and business value of 10/14 enterprises is estimated to reach more than VND 29,900 billion, an increase of nearly 3.5% over the same period in 2024.
Revenue of enterprises is estimated at over VND29,700 billion, up nearly 5% with estimated profit of VND2,299 billion, exceeding the plan for the first 6 months of the year by approximately VND112 billion. Investment value of enterprises in the first 6 months is estimated at over VND3,500 billion, up nearly 10% over the same period last year.
