7 Increasing industry fragmentation is also not helping with near-term price dynamics 40% 38% 36% Global cement companies: % of global sales ex-china The share in the world (ex-china) of cement sales controlled by global cement majors was rising rapidly before the financial crisis because of a strong investment drive and consolidation 34% 32% 30% A particular jump in 2004 was after the takeovers of Dyckerhoff, Indocement and RMC 28% 26% However, since the crisis it has been sliding quite visibly 24% 22% 20% % of global sales (ex-china) Partially this is explained by a higher weighting of Western Europe in the portfolios of these companies compared with the region s weight in global volumes However, undeniably this is also because of a substantial influx of new capacity investments from other companies and especially many newcomers Global companies are those where the domestic market does not dominate the business make-up: Buzzi Unicem, Cemex, HeidelbergCement, Holcim, Italcementi, Lafarge Source: Company Data, Industry and National sources, Report, Morgan Stanley Research 7

8 In this presentation we also look beyond the forecast period what will the world of cement look like in 25 years, in 2040? Estimates on the following pages do not represent our official forecast, they are an exploratory scenario of what global cement consumption may look like in the long term Any long-range forecasts are inherently uncertain and should be viewed with caution We rely on third party forecasts as a key input into our calculation rather than our own long-term GDP forecasts produced by IHS and population projections from the UN Besides the economic and demographic dynamics, even though they are the most important factors, there are plenty of other drivers for cement consumption, which are hard to capture scientifically, including availability and traditional use of materials, household formation rates, as well as the country terrain However, given that a typical cement plant lasts for some 50 years, it is important to have an idea of the direction of future long-term development globally and by region to inform today s investment decisions Analysis shows that the regional composition of global cement consumption will change significantly over the next 25 years with widely different potential for growth for different regions 8

9 Fundamental cement demand properties underlie our long-term estimates Consumption per capita (kg) Consumption per unit of GDP (kt / 2010 PPP USD) 1, Libya Spain 800 Greece Portugal Italy 700 Tunisia Malaysia Slovenia Turkey 600 Taiwan Switzerland Egypt 500 Algeria Australia Morocco Kazakhstan Poland Czech Republic Japan Hong Kong 400 Russia Iraq Hungary Norway Germany United States Gabon Canada 300 Brazil Argentina United Kingdom BoliviaColombia 200 India Indonesia Nigeria 100Ethiopia Consumption per capita vs. GDP per capita, Afghanistan Togo 140 Laos Vietnam Egypt China GDP per capita (2010 PPP USD k) Algeria 80 IraqTunisia Oman Libya Ethiopia 60 India Turkey Indonesia Malaysia 40 Nigeria Brazil Colombia Russia South Korea Portugal Italy Hungary New Zealand Taiwan Switzerland 20 United Kingdom United States Cement intensity of GDP vs. GDP per capita, GDP per capita (2010 PPP USD k) Economics and demographics are the key drivers of cement demand to produce our long-term estimates we rely on two well-established relationships between cement consumption, GDP and population First, the cement bell curve shows that cement consumption per capita tends to rise initially with rising GDP per capita, but then falls as countries mature In the development phase the country builds its industrial base and infrastructure and growing incomes allow consumers to invest in their own housing In later stages of development, the drivers of growth go into reverse and demand for cement tends to fall Secondly, cement intensity of GDP is usually highest at early stages of a country s growth, but it tends to be significantly lower in developed economies Investment is paramount for early economic growth As the structure of the economy transforms to become more manufacturing and then service orientated, importance of investments falls As inputs we use long-range GDP forecasts from IHS and population projections by the United Nations Source: Industry and National sources, Report, Morgan Stanley Research 9

10 Other sources of variability in demand also influence the result Consumption per capita (kg) Country ruggedness vs. cement consumption per capita 1,000 Lebanon 900 Taiwan Greece 800 Israel Italy 700 Austria Slovenia Switzerland 600 Japan Turkey 500 Croatia Germany 400 France Slovakia Poland Mexico Norway Denmark Russia 300 United Kingdom Chile Argentina Terrain is one of the factors that differentiates cement consumption rates between countries Countries with a rugged terrain require more cement-intensive methods of building Transportation infrastructure in mountainous areas needs more tunnels and bridges There are other reasons, of course, for differences in cement demand Availability and traditional use of materials differs (cement vs. bricks vs. timber) Household formation rates differ between countries % 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% Country ruggedness index We have made manual adjustments to account for some of the most obvious irregularities, although this exercise is necessarily imprecise Source: N. Nunn and D. Puga "Ruggedness: The blessing of bad geography in Africa", published in Review of Economics and Statistics, Feb 2012, Morgan Stanley Research. The analysis is based on the period from the early 1990s to Only countries with GDP per capita higher than $10,000 are included (PPP basis, constant 2010 prices), excluding countries that experienced construction bubbles, like Ireland or Spain. 10
