Vietnam: Distributors and retailers have been notified that a new round of cement price increases will take effect on 11 January 2026, with the adjustment mainly affecting bagged cement. Multiple producers are implementing the increases, including Vicem Ha Tien, SCG Vietnam and Insee Vietnam. According to price notices circulated to distributors, the adjustments reflect continued pressure from high input costs, particularly energy, transport and raw materials. The increases are expected to have a direct impact on short-term construction costs, especially for civil engineering works and projects entering the construction phase at the start of 2026. However, distributors said the move had largely been anticipated by the market and was unlikely to cause major disruption, as demand typically begins to recover after the Lunar New Year.
