"According to our calculations, in January-June of this year, cement consumption in Siberia (within its former borders, including Buryatia and Transbaikalia) was 2.8 million tons, which is 10 % lower than in the first six months of 2024. However, the situation differs in different regions. For example, in Buryatia in the first half of the year, demand increased by 8.4 %, in Khakassia – decreased by 28.1 %. A significant drop was also recorded in one of the most "capacious" markets of the Siberian Federal District: cement consumption in the Novosibirsk Region decreased by 15 %," emphasizes Gennady Rasskazov, First Vice President of Sibcem. "In the future, negative trends will intensify: so far we do not see any presuppositions that allow us to talk about an early recovery in demand."
