"Bolivia is projecting a cement deficit in the coming months of roughly 250,000 tons. Demand estimates suggest consumption could reach 2.8 million tons in 2011." "Paraguay is in negotiations with Chile to import more cement" "Reflecting the continued strong demand for cement in Brazil, driven in part by infrastructure spending, Votorantim announced an 11 percent increase in total revenues... Votorantim continues to invest heavily in Brazil, with 8 of its 11 cement plants being built there." www.cemweek.com, May-Jul 2011
With the rest of the world economies dreading a double-dip recession, Latin America seems to offer positive growth & projections, especially Brazil, host to World Cup 2014 and Olympic Games 2016.
The construction markets in Latin America are expanding with housing and infrastructure projects. In Brazil, analysts are expecting an 8% increase in the market this year, compared with just over 5% elsewhere in the region. In Colombia, economic conditions continue to look good, and this has benefited residential and commercial construction activities, as well as the infrastructure sector.
Peru is enjoying a prolonged stretch of very strong economic growth which is reflected in the expansion of cement demand to 8.48Mt in 2010, a 17.1% YoY rise. In the short term, cement consumption should enjoy YoY growth of 10-12% in 2011, long-term demand, however, will be supported by a substantial housing deficit, estimated at around 1.2m units at the start of 2011, and a large pipeline of infrastructure works, amounting to some US$56bn by 2020.
Several new cement projects have been announced in Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia to Mexico. What are the status of these projects and how will it change the demand/supply dynamics when these projects are ready in the next couple of years? What are the opportunities for cement traders supplying the Latin market?
CMT's Latin America CemenTrade Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on 27-28 October 2011 brings together leading panel of experts to share insightful information and exchange latest development.

According to recent surveys, Brazil is the world’s seventh largest economy and accounted for around five per cent of the total low-carbon market, roughly £84 billion in 2008/09, and is growing fast. Low carbon opportunities in Brazil are heavily influenced by the demands placed on renewing infrastructure, particularly as Brazil looks forward to hosting the Football World Cup in 2014 and the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
With demand for cement on the rise, cement companies continue to work towards improved carbon management. The cement industry is especially successful in their efforts to measure, monitor and reduce carbon emissions. While some 40 per cent of carbon emissions from cement manufacture are generated through the use of fossil fuels, 60 per cent come from the chemical reaction of heating calcium carbonate. Consequently, sustainable development and carbon management are both the industry’s greatest challenge as well as its greatest opportunity.
That being the case, CMT is pleased to welcome Mr. Felipe Bittencourt, Director, WayCarbon Brazil who will share a detailed approach and his expertise in relation to carbon management strategies in Brazil, emissions reduction & carbon trade opportunity at the Latin America CemenTrade to be held on 27-28 Oct, 2011 in Rio de Janeiro.
Apart from above , the conference will also feature a presentation entitled `Energy savings – a South America perspective’ by Mr. Piet Heersche, Project Director of PEG SA.

Housing sector is the key driver of cement industry in Brazil. Despite financial turmoil and economic slowdown during recession, the Brazilian cement industry showed positive growth. We anticipate that cement consumption will remain almost same due to government’s initiative on housing industry and real-estate spending. The booming real estate and construction sector has also created huge demand for cement industry. With the country hosting both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympics, it is anticipated that the demand for cement will sustain its positive growth in the coming years also.
Brazil has witnessed a positive growth in the housing and infrastructure sectors, especially with the upcoming World Cup 2014 and Olympic Games 2016. In view of these developments, CMT has invited the Mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Mr. Eduardo Paes, to share his vision on Brazil’s infrastructural plans under the topic, “Transforming Rio de Janeiro in Preparation for World Cup 2014 & Olympic Games 2016.”
Apart from this, other key issues to be addressed in the conference include:
-Raw materials availability
- Production capacities & new expansion plans
- Cement plant investment update
- Import requirement to meet construction boom
- Growth region & sector
- Cement trade challenges
CMT’s Latin America CemenTrade also offers updates on the global cement markets and supply chain solutions.

Construction of Jamaica's second cement-production plant is expected to begin within the next three months if Canadian engineering firm Cemcorp gets the approval of the National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA), the Ministry of Energy and Mining and the parish councils of St Catherine and Clarendon.
Cemcorp's chief executive officer, Armand Nahmiache, who is in the island undertaking preparatory work for the construction project, said the approval process was far advanced and expects to break ground within 90 days. Nahmiache, in an interview with the Financial Gleaner, said financing is already in place for the proposed US$340 million, 1.5-million tonne capacity plant to be built at Port Esquivel in St Catherine, and which will operate under the name Cement Jamaica Limited.
He said the new cement company was intended to serve the Caribbean as a whole. "The Caribbean is controlled by one or two companies," he said, adding that "we are of the view that there is room for another player."
