Limestone feeding Thai cement industry
~60-65 Mt/yr quarried
Thailand quarries roughly 60-65 million tonnes per year of limestone, the bulk of it consumed by domestic cement and lime producers — SCG Cement (SET:SCC), TPI Polene (SET:TPIPL), Siam City Cement (SET:SCCC), Asia Cement (SET:ACC), and Jalaprathan Cement. Saraburi and Lopburi provinces host the largest quarrying operations. Per DPIM and Thailand Cement Manufacturers Association data, cement clinker output is around 45-50Mt/yr with a roughly 1.3-1.5 limestone-to-clinker ratio. Domestic cement demand softened modestly through 2023-2024 on construction slowdown but exports to Cambodia, Myanmar, and Laos help support quarry utilisation.
