"...Regionalization is typical of the market of construction materials. Consumption of ready-mixed concrete in each region depends on a number of factors, the main ones being concentration of consumers in a region; contacts established between manufacturers and consumers; prices on concrete and their dynamics by region.
A high level of transportation tariffs makes it impossible (for economic reasons) for many ready-mixed concrete manufacturers to sell their products outside a certain haulage radius (the haul distance is generally no more than 400-500 km). At the same time, high tariffs protect enterprises from competition, i.e. they actually become monopolists in the regional market, and their financial prosperity is determined by investment activity only in their region. That puts enterprises into extremely unequal conditions: in regions with intensive investment activity even low-quality products are rather competitive while high-quality products produced in regions with slack investment activity find no market.
