Today the cluster of building materials is being established in Leningrad region. In the future development of the cluster will occur as the result of creation of new plants producing materials for house construction,
finishing materials, development of cooperation ties between participants of the cluster, expansion of cooperation with institutions and organizations of applied science.
More than 30 enterprises operate in the branch. The volume of production traditionally depends on the pace of construction not only in Leningrad region, but also in Saint Petersburg, which is the largest consumer of building
materials manufactured by the regional enterprises.
The industry occupies 7th place in Leningrad region in terms of the volume of shipped products and amounts to 4.3% of the total volume of shipped industrial products in 2022.
