Kenya: The latest data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that production of and demand for cement both rose significantly in the first 11 months of 2025. Production for the 11 months reached 9.49Mt, a 17% increase compared to 8.09Mt in the first 11 months of 2024. Demand rose by 20% year-on-year over the same time period, from 7.79Mt in the first 11 months of 2024 to 9.34Mt in the first 11 months of 2025.
The parallel rise in both production and consumption of cement reflects strong construction sector growth supported by ongoing public infrastructure projects, private real estate developments and a gradual recovery in housing activity. Record monthly production levels in several months of 2025 suggest that manufacturers have ramped up output to meet sustained demand.
