Indonesia: Semen Indonesia has reported US$1.13bn of revenue in the first half of 2014, a 12.8% year-on-year increase. During the first six months of 2013, revenues grew by 31.9% compared to 2012. The decelerated growth is attributed to reduced domestic demand, which is affecting the Indonesian cement industry as a whole.

Sales volumes in the first half of 2014 grew by 4.6% year-on-year to 12.8Mt. Semen Indonesia's subsidiary, Semen Gresik, contributed almost 54% of the sales volumes. Semen Padang accounted for 26% and Semen Tonasa contributed the remaining 20% of sales volumes. Net profit for the first six months of 2014 stood at US$46.9m, a 9.3% year-on-year increase, while higher expenses and foreign exchange losses contributed to higher costs. Semen Indonesia has forecast an 8% increase in revenue for the whole of 2014.

The latest statistics from the Indonesian Cement Association show a 4% increase in domestic cement consumption in the first half of 2014, lower than the 7.5% growth reported for the first half of 2013.
