Abstract: The purpose of this article is to assess the current situation of production and consumption of Unburnt Building Materials (UBMs) in the Mekong Delta, thereby proposing solutions to promote the consumption of UBMs in the Mekong Delta in the coming time. Research results from the survey of producers and customers organized as well as discussions with local officials show that the whole Mekong Delta has more than 120 producers consuming through 02 main channels. Sales channels that direct customers are construction contractors - organizational customers (accounting for 90%) and through construction material trading companies (about 10%). In general, both the production and consumption of UBMs in the Mekong Delta face difficulties. Limited production capacity, limited capacity of UBMs, and low consumer confidence in UBM products are typical difficulties. Planning for the development of UBMs, organizing production to improve the innovation capacity of manufacturers and construction contractors, strengthening the link between manufacturers and UBMs consuming partners, promoting product branding products, enhancing sales promotion innovation activities, etc. are the main solutions to promote this industry to develop more in the Mekong Delta in the coming time.
