Market Growth Factors

Expansion of Government Infrastructure Investment Programs

Federal infrastructure investment programs, especially the Novo PAC program, are a main source of cement consumption in the country. This program includes transportation, energy, and water and sanitation as well as urban development infrastructure and totals an investment score of BRL 1.7 trillion. Federal budgets will provide BRL 371 billion, state-owned companies will invest BRL 343 billion, and financing mechanisms will supply BRL 362 billion. The private sector will invest BRL 612 billion. The government, state companies, financial system, and private sector will invest in construction of pipelines and other systems during the next decade.

Acceleration of Social Housing Programs

In addition, initiatives like the Minha Casa Minha Vida program drive continuous demand for cement, as housing shortages are addressed. The program plans to construct over two million housing units in the short term, with preference given to housing constructed using cement products like concrete blocks and cast-in-place concrete. Higher income ceilings for the program will add more households that qualify, creating additional construction demand. Urbanization trends and demographic growth in secondary cities and the urban fringes in all these regions also support the demand for cement.

Favorable Employment and Economic Conditions

The labor market is strong, creating jobs in construction and cement demand. Unemployment rates have been at a historic low and there has been an increase in registered jobs and wages. Because the use of cement is tied to the number of construction jobs as they also use housing, and the number of low and middle-income households has grown, this has maintained an increase in the use of cement.
