Domestic Cement Demand Up 7.9% Through September 2026

2026年9月国内水泥需求同比增长7.9%

Domestic cement demand September 2026 stayed strong: Indocement’s 3 November 2026 press release says national demand rose 7.9% year-on-year through September 2026, with bulk cement +9.3% and bagged cement +7.4%, helped by dry weather that sped up construction. This industry-demand focus differs from Indocement’s profit write-up; what matters for suppliers and projects is that market volumes moved.

Key Facts

Domestic cement demand September 2026: bulk outpaced bagged

Indocement’s 3 November 2026 press release says growth covered both bulk and bagged cement. Bulk (+9.3%) usually ties to infrastructure, large property and ready-mix; bagged (+7.4%) is closer to building stores, renovation and house construction. Both rose, so demand was not confined to one channel.

Indocement also wrote that dry weather accelerated national construction activity. Pouring and masonry schedules were less often delayed by rain in the first nine months of 2026, so site absorption of cement was faster.

Market volume and Indocement’s position

On the producer side, Indocement’s volume grew 7.8% YoY, with bulk +12.6% and bagged +5.9%. Domestic cement market share was 29.3%. The company kept a strong balance sheet with Rp4.7 trillion cash as of 30 September 2026. Same-day Indocement news put total cement and clinker sales at 15.75 million tonnes (+9.0%), including a sharp export rise—but for domestic demand, the industry 7.9% figure remains the main reference.

HargaSemen’s 31 October 2026 summary adds that cumulative January–September consumption reached 48.1 million tonnes, matching the 7.9% growth. Their September monthly figures still show bulk as the main monthly driver.

  • Bulk grew faster than bagged on a cumulative basis through September.
  • Dry weather is an operational factor, not only an issuer-finance story.
  • Large producers’ cash remains ample, though the press release still flags energy-cost pressure.

What it means for projects and building-material suppliers

For contractors and stores, rising demand means bulk and bagged supply must be secured so peak-season shortages are avoided. The arrival of the rainy season, which Indocement also notes, may slow construction in coming months—so stock planning and delivery schedules still matter.
