The Malian government announced a "strong economic recovery", but the soaring price of cement dragged the national treasury and the people's dream of building houses into a quagmire. The "price limit order" issued by the Minister of Industry and Commerce failed in the building materials market in Bamako, the capital, and the retail price was about 10% higher than official cap line. Compared with neighboring countries, the price of cement in Mali is high. Because of the inland disadvantage, tight foreign exchange reserves and lack of government control, "price limit" has become a slogan. Ordinary people stopped building houses, related practitioners went out of business, and the economy was affected. Previously, the effect of sugar regulation was not good, and people only hoped to buy low-cost cement.

The President called for the resumption of competitive local clinker production within one year, leaving a 365-day window for investors. Morocco, Turkey, Nigeria and other enterprises have relevant investment plans. The entry into force of the ban is conducive to stabilizing public works, saving foreign exchange and creating jobs, and whether the rotary kiln can be restarted in the next 15 months has attracted much attention.

Senegal is a bright spot in West Africa's economy and is moving towards prosperity. The International Monetary Fund predicts that its GDP will grow by 8.4% in 2025, making it one of the fastest growing economies in sub-Saharan Africa, thanks to the development of the oil and gas industry and government investment in infrastructure. In the first half of 2025, Senegal's cement demand grew steadily, with a total increase of 4% year-on-year, reflecting the strong demand for construction. Although the domestic cement output decreased by 3.3% year on year, the market vitality remained unchanged. The decline in production may be related to costs and supply chains, with considerable long-term potential, and the government's strategic plan will promote infrastructure investment to support production.

In September 2025, the price of cement in Pakistan was relatively stable. Although construction projects were blocked and transportation costs increased due to floods, the price of major brands only fluctuated slightly, with a price range of 1380-1430 rupees per bag. The price of each brand was different due to different positioning, and most companies competed at the price of 1400 rupees. In terms of sales, the growth momentum in August was slower than that in July, but still improved compared with the same period last year. The sales volume of cement in August was 3.097 million tons, an increase of 10.33%, the export volume was 749,723 tons, an increase of 22.13%, and the growth figures in July were stronger.

Kenya's cement industry is undergoing a major structural transformation. At the end of 2024, Holcim Group withdrew, Amsons Group took over the majority of Bamburi Cement Company and planned to make new investments, and its affiliated company Kalahari Cement was approved to acquire part of Portland Cement in East Africa. Savannah Cement was also acquired by the consortium. Energy costs are a challenge, and some companies are looking for power solutions. In the first half of 2025, the output and consumption of cement increased by 17.3% and 22.1% respectively compared with the same period last year. In May, the output and consumption reached the stage peak. The demand growth was due to the stable demand in many fields and the high price of bagged cement, which did not lead to the expansion of new supply.

Recently, the UK Mineral Products Association (MPA) said that cement production was "increasingly threatened" by rising energy, regulatory and labour costs. UK cement production in 2024 will be about half of what it was in 1990. The decline in production may undermine the government's ambitions for housing, infrastructure and other projects. Rising costs, changes in carbon tax policies and an increase in cheap imports are the main reasons. MPA called on the government to reduce electricity prices and help domestic production compete fairly. The Ministry of Commerce and Trade said it was increasing support for energy-intensive enterprises. In addition, problems such as reduced construction demand, rising costs and labor shortage also plague the construction industry.

Recently, Holcim completed the divestiture of its Nigerian business and sold 83.81% of Lafarge Africa to Huaxin Cement for $1 billion. Lafarge Africa's market value on the stock exchange fell about 10% on Tuesday as a legal dispute affected investor sentiment. Despite its good results in the first half of 2025, CardinalStone raised its target price, but the stock price still showed a downward trend. The market is concerned about a lawsuit from a minority shareholder strategy consultancy, which accused Holcim of violating Nigerian law by selling its stake. In June, the court ordered the parties to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of the appeal. The transfer of a majority stake to Huaxin Cement has potential upside risks.

In the first half of 2025, the U.S. construction market slowed down as a whole due to factors such as high interest rates, labor shortages, rising material costs and tariff policies. Construction spending totaled $103 billion 610 million, down 2.2% from a year earlier. The decline in residential construction is the main reason, and private investment is cautious, which is basically the same as the same period. Nonresidential construction grew, driven by manufacturing and data centers. However, due to the uncertainty of tariff policy, more enterprises postpone projects, which to some extent hinders the further development of the construction market.

In August 2025, large-scale protests and riots broke out throughout Indonesia, causing social unrest and unprecedented challenges for the cement industry. Previously, Indonesia's cement industry has been affected by infrastructure slowdown, weak demand and environmental pressure. The riots caused transport hubs to be blocked, affecting the supply of raw materials and the distribution of finished products, increasing production costs, delaying many projects and reducing construction demand. The stock market and bond market are under pressure, and the outflow of foreign capital delays the recovery of the industry. China's cement companies in Indonesia have also been hit. In the short term, the industry may decline and costs will rise. If the government quells the riots, it may take advantage of the rebound in infrastructure investment.

Despite the increase in export volume, the export price of Egyptian cement has continued to decline.

2025-08-26 10:07:39

Since the beginning of the year, the price of Libyan cement has soared from 71 dinars to 91 dinars per quintal. The price increase is the result of a combination of factors such as insufficient supply, increased demand, operational challenges of cement plants, speculation and lack of government intervention. As a result, the cost of contractors has increased dramatically, projects have stalled, people are dissatisfied and dreams have been delayed. Economic analysts point out that this reflects market chaos and lack of economic policy, which, if not addressed, will slow down reconstruction projects and increase inflation.
