Ho Chi Minh City Seriously Shortages Construction Materials – Opportunity for New Technical Technology Solutions

Ho Chi Minh City, July 2025 – A series of key infrastructure projects in Ho Chi Minh City are facing a serious shortage of construction materials such as stone, sand, and fill soil, directly affecting the construction progress of strategic projects such as Ring Road 3, Thu Dau Mot - Chon Thanh Expressway, or the Cai River embankment project.

According to a report from the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Construction, the current supply only meets about 30% of demand, leading to construction delays, increased operating costs, and disruptions to the supply chain of materials in the region.

🔍 Main reasons:

- Planning of material mines is not synchronized with construction planning

- Transportation of materials is limited due to pressure on transport infrastructure

- Raw material prices fluctuate seasonally and supply is tight
