Experts predict a slowdown in the development of the dry building mixes market

According to experts, 2010 was the starting point for the rapid and continuous development of the dry building mixes market. By the end of 2012, the market volume increased, depending on the region, by 10-20%. At the moment, the CCC market is undoubtedly maintaining a positive trend. But market analysts predict a certain slowdown in development following the results of the year that began in 2013.

Market participants and experts interviewed by the Stroitelny Nedelnik newspaper agree that growth rates will decrease, according to various estimates, to 7-15%.

The reason for this phenomenon is, for the most part, the established optimal saturation of the market. On the other hand, a change in the consumer culture in the construction industry, a trend that is taking root in the broad masses of ordinary builders to prefer the purchase of ready-made dry mixes to the purchase of cement and sand, stimulates the development of the CCC market and can prevent a decline in the rate of increase in production volumes.

It is worth noting that there is practically no price increase in the dry building mixes sector. This is due to extremely high competition between producers and lower cement prices in the first half of 2012. At the moment, CCC prices are held at the same level as in 2011.
