Brazil: Domestic demand for cement in Brazil is leading to an increase of imports. Imports of cement and clinker reached 2.2Mt from January to September 2011, an increase of 74% from the same period in 2010. The total value of imported cement cost USD135m from January to September 2011, compared with USD80m from the same period in 2010.

From 2007 to 2010 Brazilian per capita consumption rose from 224kg to 310kg while production rose from 40Mt/yr to 59Mt/yr. The country has 70 plants to meet this growing demand. Exports have fallen from 515,000t/yr in 2008 to 36,000t/yr in 2010.

Votorantim Cimentos leads the market with 40 plants and a production of 21Mt/yr. It currently plans to build eight plants by 2014 with investments of USD1.4bn, a sum that includes concrete units as well. CSN Cimentos is an emerging player in the market and it is planning to meet a production level of 8.4Mt/yr by 2013. Camargo Correa Cimentos runs 5.2Mt/yr and Joao Santos 5.9Mt/yr.
