The Cement Industry in Bolivia refers to the production, sale and consumption of cement in the country since according to the latest official data from the National Institute of Statistics of Bolivia, the country had a production of around 3.8 million metric tons of cement during the year 2022. In Bolivia there are five large Bolivian companies that produce cement, which are: SOBOCE, FANCESA, COBOCE, ITACAMBA, and ECEBOL. [1] [2]

History

The first cement factory in Bolivia was the Bolivian Cement Society S.A. (SOBOCE) located in the Department of La Paz which was founded on September 24, 1925, and after three years began producing cement in 1928, being the oldest in the country. [3]

On January 21, 1959, the National Cement Factory (FANCESA) was founded in the city of Sucre, which would also enter the Bolivian market. [4] In 1966, the Bolivian Cement Cooperative (COBOCE) was created with headquarters in the city of Cochabamba that would begin to produce cement from the year 1972. [5]

In 1997 another private Bolivian company called "Itacamba Cementos" was born, which would begin to produce cement from that same year. [6] Some time later, the Bolivian government would also intervene in the production of cement in the country, managing to create the Bolivian Cement Productive Public Company (ECEBOL) with its two cement plants, the first located in the municipality of Caracollo in the Department of Oruro and the second plant located in the city of Potosí in the Department of Potosi. [7]

Production

During the last 32 years, Bolivian cement production has increased considerably reaching a growth of more than 660%, from producing only 500,000 tons in 1990 to 3,888,000 tons in 2022. [1]
