Cement industry - Privatisation

In 1989 privatisation of the cement industry started in the west of Turkey, where greater demand and higher efficiency meant that plants were more likely to be attractive acquisition targets. Plants in the east were restructured and consolidated prior to privatisation, which occurred at speed until 1997. By this time Turkey was the third-largest cement producer in Europe after Germany and Italy.4

By the end of the privatisation process, Turkey had a total of 40 cement plants producing a total of 33.3Mt/yr of cement.5 At this point eight plants were wet process and the rest were dry. Since then, market forces have allowed the Turkish cement industry to double in size in just 15 years. Indeed 33% of all Turkish capacity in 2010 was less than six years old.5

In 2012 the Turkish cement industry had a total of 48 integrated cement plants and 20 additional cement grinding facilities, according to the TCMA.1 Today the industry has a combined capacity of 82.5Mt/yr (including grinding plants). The industry produced 67.8Mt of cement in 2011 a capacity utilisation rate of 82%.
