Market of Building Supplies of Kazakhstan

Output indices for the key categories of building materials
According to the State Program of the Industrial and Innovative Development of Kazakhstan for 2015-2019 (SPIID), production of building materials is still a priority of the national manufacturing industry.

The market of building supplies has a huge potential for its further development. Available resources precondition an expanding growth of the production capacities of Kazakhstani enterprises with a view to meet the needs of the domestic market and decrease the dependence upon imported goods and commodities. However, as of now, governmental support provided under the auspices of SPIID 2015-2019 still remains the critical driver of the development of this sector.

 

Market of building supplies of Kazakhstan: commercial concrete, building brick, mortar mixtures

Over the last 3 years, Kazakhstan has witnessed 40 % increase of the overall quantity of square meters of commissioned new housing.
It is also obvious that this index will grow even more. First of all, the demand for the real estate will be supported by the on-going growth of the population of Kazakhstan.
The population of the country is growing at the annual rate of 1 %. The natural growth achieves 15.5 %, in the developed countries this parameter varies from 8 to 12 % and in Russia it equals 12.7 %. Secondly, the demand for the real estate has been dramatically stimulated by the launch of the State Program of Nurly Zher which provides subsidies to developers and potential residents of new houses. The Programs will last for 15 years. It is expected that the total quantity of the new commissioned housing will increase by 1.5 times and arrive at 17 million square meters by 2020.
