12. Discuss Materials Sector distribution of these facilities and the annual installed capacity by
geographical area
12.1.Cement - As of December 2016, the Philippine cement industry has an estimated annual
clinker and cement capacity of 20.6 and 28.63 million tonnes, respectively, according to the
2017 Cement Market Report
12.2.Aggregates – Sand and gravel quarrying industry dominates the sector in terms of number
of establishments. The final results of the 2016 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and
Industry (ASPBI) showed that there were 219 establishments engaged in mining and
quarrying in the formal sector of the economy.
12.3.Reinforcing Steel Bars & Galvanized Iron Sheets -
The Philippine iron and steel industry aims to contribute to the country's sustainable
development by manufacturing world-class products for the industry and society, and sees
itself as a majority producer of high-quality and safe steel products for domestic users by
2030. This is achieved when the industry is able to supply 70% of the tonnage of required
apparent steel consumption.
Philippine-based iron and steel manufacturers have expanded their production capacities in
the long products sector, but still fall short of domestic demand, mainly because of the
absence of an integrated steel mill (ISM). The flat products sector has no local production
of hot rolled coils (HRC), hot rolled plates (HRP), and cold rolled coils (CRC), and all are
currently imported. The availability of raw materials (i.e. iron ore) and semi-processed
products (i.e. pig-iron) presents the opportunity for local iron and steel manufacturers to
domestically source their input requirements and, more importantly, the possibility of
establishing an ISM.
12.4.Lumber – In 2000, there were 86 sawmills in the Philippines with a total daily capacity of 3
747 m3. However, only 45 of these operated during the year due to local wood shortages,
and as a result, only 151 000 m3 of sawnwood were produced. In addition, there were 27
plywood plants and 19 veneer plants with daily rated capacities of 1.8 and 0.56 million m 3,
respectively. Actual production of plywood and veneer during the year registered at 286 000
and 178 000 m3, respectively.
