PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG) successfully recorded a solid operational performance amidst an increasingly challenging competitive landscape in the construction industry. As of May 2026, the issuer with the stock code SMGR posted a sales volume growth of 4.4% year-on-year (YoY), with total distribution reaching 15.09 million tons of cement.
This growth represents a significant increase compared to the achievement in the same period last year, which stood at 14.46 million tons. This success is closely tied to the effectiveness of the transformation strategy implemented by the company, in line with government directives to increase added value and transparency within State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs).
SIG Corporate Secretary, Vita Mahreyni, revealed that the surge in sales was strongly supported by the domestic sector, which grew by 9.6%. The bagged cement segment was the main driver with an increase of 11.9%. According to Vita, the strategic approach of micro-market management was key to the company responding to consumer needs more accurately and responsively across various regions.
On the other hand, expanding into the global market has become a crucial strategy to balance the overcapacity dynamics in the domestic market. SIG, through its subsidiary PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia Tbk, has now entered the United States market through a strategic partnership with Taiheiyo Cement Corporation. A total of 97,500 metric tons of special-type cement have been successfully exported from the facility in Tuban, with a total target of 450,000 metric tons throughout 2026.
The business transformation currently being carried out by SIG is not only oriented toward cost efficiency, but also focuses on developing value-added products and market diversification. This step is considered a strategic effort by the company to strengthen business resilience and build a foundation for long-term growth amidst dynamic global economic challenges.
