Spain: Cement consumption in Andalusia rose by 10% year-on-year to 3.56Mt in 2025. Clinker and cement exports fell by 26% to 4.17Mt while imports rose by 58% to 2.65Mt.
Cement production reached 3.30Mt in 2025, down by 0.4% year-on-year.
President of the Andalusian Cement Manufacturers Association (AFCA) Alan Svaiter said “Over the next few years, the sector will face a significant investment effort with the aim of fulfilling its Decarbonisation Roadmap to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, with the intermediate milestones of reducing CO2 emissions by 44% by 2030 and 83% by 2040, compared to 1990. To achieve this, it is necessary for the cement sector to have competitive energy prices, increase the energy recovery from waste to rates similar to those of the most advanced countries, receive financial support and administrative simplification for decarbonisation projects in our factories, and for the various public administrations to prioritise the use of cements with a lower carbon footprint, which we are already manufacturing, through the adoption of green public procurement policies.”
