Thailand Cement-Grade Limestone Output
~100–120 Mt/yr
Cement-grade limestone is Thailand's highest-volume mined commodity by tonnage, with annual output estimated at 100–120 million tonnes underpinning a domestic cement industry that ranks among ASEAN's largest. SCG (Siam Cement Group) and TPI Polene operate the largest integrated limestone-to-clinker operations in Saraburi and Lampang provinces. Concession rights are governed by the Minerals Act 2017, which introduced tighter environmental-impact assessment (EIA) requirements and community-consultation steps that have slowed new concession grants. Domestic limestone prices are not exchange-listed; transfer pricing between quarry and cement operations within integrated groups is reviewed by the Revenue Department.
