Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary On March 14, 2025, Myanmar's military conducted airstrikes near the Alpha cement plant in Patheingyi Township, Mandalay Region. Mandalay is a key industrial hub in central Myanmar, and ongoing military threats to construction material production facilities have created medium-level supply-chain risks.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Cement and construction materials supply disruption - Bombing near Alpha cement plant may cause production shutdowns and logistics transport delays
• Mandalay industrial zone operational risks - Growing safety concerns across manufacturing sector in Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city
• Inland logistics network instability - Mandalay serves as a key logistics hub for central-northern Myanmar, increasing overland transport network risks
• Accelerated foreign investor withdrawal - Continued airstrikes on industrial facilities may pressure global companies to scale back Myanmar operations

3) Watch points

• Additional attacks on Mandalay-area industrial facilities - Need to track potential expansion of military operations targeting economic infrastructure
• Alpha cement plant shutdown duration - Assess construction materials supply-chain ripple effects based on actual damage scale and recovery timeline
