Summary:
Nepal is a developing country. Construction of building, road & many infrastructures was
established each day there, for which cement is significant material. Not only that, after the
earthquake of 2015 there was a destruction of lots of houses, building, and substructure which
were going to maintain rapidly for those purpose cement was essential. This report delivers how
huge area of the market is coverage by cement industries in Nepal. For this following points are
discusses:
- Falling Import
- Export of cement
1. Introduction:
Cambridge Dictionary defines Cement as the soft gray powder that is mixed with water and
sands to make mortar or it is a power mixed with water stands and small stones to make
concrete. Similarly, according to Hewleett, P. (2003) cements means gum materials which are
able to join rubbles or masses of solid substance to close the whole. This definition suggest a
various number of substances having little mutual with one another but their gumminess and the
very unequal technical and scientific significance of dissimilar members of the class has likely to
bring about a restriction of the description to one group of paste materials, namely, to the plastic
materials employed to make union between stones, bricks etc. in the construction of buildings,
bridges and many more engineering work. Cement is used worldwide as building construction
material and is an essential for concrete as well as key material for global housing and present
infrastructure wants. Likewise, Henn, R. W. & Soule, N. C.(2010) provide a reference to The
International Society for Rock Mechanics ( ISRM) & says that cement categorized by a better
According to Ghimire, B. (2016) report of the department of industry 105 cement industries was
registered in Nepal. Among them, 54 industries have received Nepal standard. Ghimire, also
mentation that total depletion of cement in Nepal is 120,000,000 (12 crores) Sacs. More than
Rs.60, 000,000,000 (60 Arab) of Nepalese currency was consumption amount in turnover. In
this condition, 110,000,000 (11 Crore) Sacs was fulfilled by domestic industries from Nepal &
100,000,000 (1 Crore) Sacs imports from foreign lands.it means that cement market is moving
to self- sufficiency. Average of 1.5 metric ton cement consumption before 2000 A.D & 80 % in
total consumption use to import from India but after 2003 A.D it was changed. Cement
production in Nepal has been growing very fast than the previous year. Substructure &
industries grown and they have been producing 3.5 million metric ton cement. But demand is
about 4 million metric ton. Power shortage and fuel shortage and the capacity of industry are
some impacts that cement industry was facing at the time. Gimire (2016) state that
Tripati, A. & Sharma, S. (2015) news report states that cement industry has seen significant
growth over the last few years though they facing lots of problem for producing. President of the
Cement Manufactures Association of Nepal (CMAN) says Nepalese cement industry has been
gradually growing at 8-10 percent annually for the past several years & its future looks bright.
He further added that 4 million metric ton is annulled demand and a 3.2 million metric ton is fulfil
Because of rising domestic cement production import has sinking year by year. According to
Trade & Export Promotion (TEPC) imports of cement has declined over last year. In the year of
2012-13 OPC cement imports rate was Rs.3.75 billion whereas in the year of 2013-14 it was
Rs.2.99 billion. This data shows the Nepals progress towards independence in cement
production. According to CMAN Nepalese domestic industry has a capacity of about 6 million
tons of production capacity and they only utilise about 50 percent of their total production
capacity. Out of 45 factories, 12 factories were also producing clinker which is the most
important material used in cement production. Nepal uses to depend on India for clinker as a
decade ago. Nepal import 95% of clinker. After 2015 a few industries start producing own
3. Falling Import
According to Tripati, A. & Sharma, S. (2015) news report, import of cement has gone down over
the past year because of the rise of domestic production. Data from the Trade and export
Promotion Center clearly shown that country which imported OPC and PPC cement worth
Rs.4.31 billion in 2009/10 saw the import decrease 30 percent to Rs.2.99 billion in 2013/14. This
also led to increasing in the import of Gypsum, one of the major elements of cement that worth
Rs 754 million in 2013/14 and goes up 133 from Rs.322 million in 2010. But clinker, another key
material is gradually declining. Import of in 200/10 record Rs.8.03 billion but it decreased to
Rs.5.99 billion in 2012/13 before rising to Rs.6.54 billion in the last year.

According to Tripati, A. & Sharma, S. (2015) news report states that with the rise in production,
export of Nepalese cement also increases in the past few years. Though the size of the export
is slight compared to the import, the rising trend indicates to the possibility of Nepalese cement
cement worth Rs.3.16 million in 13/14, after starting the export in 12/13 which was recorded at
Rs. 148,700. Tej Bom, Head of the Sales and Marketing at Ambe Cement says that it takes
some more time for Nepal to become an exporter of cement. Current cement industries not
being able to fulfil the domestic demand so there is no opportunity of export cement currently.
Most of the industries are selling their product within the country. If it meets the domestic
demand than Nepalese industries will obviously export cement in the international market.
Export
5. SWOT Analysis:
5.1. Strength: According to Er. Thapa (2017, online) , the cement markets were faced a lot of
Nepal. In domestic sector, it has high value. In past years, the demand of cement in domestic
was low but nowadays, it is increasing yearly. It is producing about five million tons of cement
per year. Besides that, domestic companies are able to fulfils 80% of demand. Clinker
production helps to fulfil demand of cement in domestic sector. The key power to cement
5.2. Weakness: Nepal is developing the country. Cement industries were continuously
established. It has a great demand for cement for the construction of building, houses, bridges
and other infrastructures were establish day to day though it has facing lots of problem
The establishing of cement industries increase each day in Nepal but the light supply becomes
the major problem accoring to Tripathi, A. & Sharma, S. (2015). Cement industries were can not
able to produce cement as they have the capacity to production as they have huge demand.
Light cut problem creates directly effect on the production of the cement.
The flue is essential material to run any industries. GImire, B. (2016) says that Nepalese
industries were facing the shortage of flue and government is not paying attention towards it.
For this reason, Nepalese cement industries are not able to produce as their capacity.
5.1.3. Transportation
Transportation is another big problem for cement industries in Nepal according to the Tripathi,
A. & Sharma, S. (2015). To supply raw material or well product cement there is problem of
transportation. Nepalese cement industries are unable to supply their product to the market due
5.3. Opportunities: Nepal is still undeveloped country where economic growth in cement
industries very slow. There are domestic cement industries might be opportunities to fulfil
demand for physical infrastructure development like highways and houses. Bhusal (2015,
online) said that Nepals government has decided that they can establish new cement factories
which have capacity to produce 3000 tonnes cement per year. After earthquake, there were
three million people have been lost their house. The cement industries of Nepal have
opportunity to produce a large amount of cement to reconstruction the damage areas during
earthquake.
5.4. Threats: Due to earthquake, In Nepal, there were many building such as temples, houses
and hospitals destroyed. According to Awale (2015, online), cement industries of Nepal produce
a large amount of cement for reconstruction. But there are major threats present like the lack of
6. Conclusion
Cement is an essential material for construction. And demand for the cement is high in Nepal
not only that cement industry is growing its production better than use to be. After the starting
period of time trend growth and performance of cement industry is increase each day and
domestic company are able to produce fulfilling the 90% of demand in Nepalese market.
7. Recommendation
Future of cement industry is very bright but it has some issues that directly and indirectly effect
on its market. Some of the company were producing low-quality cement so it is important to
increase the quality. Quality product wins the heart of consumers and its demand automatically
became high. Not only that, Power shortage is next cause that hampers in the production of
cement in Nepal. If power shortage somehow stops there is more production of cement in
future. And it is important to stop fuel shortage to increase the production. Raw material for
cement available easily there so it is important to give more attention towards it that may helpful
for future. For this, it is a priority of government to provide regular electricity & manage for fuel to
the industry. If all these effects were minimized production may more increase & it creates more
