Türkiye: OYAK Cement said that domestic cement sales volumes fell by 12% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, due to heavy rainfall and normalisation of demand in earthquake-affected regions. The company said that domestic cement production declined by 28% year-on-year in January 2026 and by 12% in the first two months of the year, while February domestic sales fell by 12% and exports by 13%. It said that it achieved limited price increases during the quarter despite adverse weather conditions and ongoing pricing pressure in the market. The company's alternative fuel usage reached 27.4% in the first quarter of 2026, compared with a sector average of 13% in 2025, according to the company’s statement.
OYAK Cement commissioned a 115MW solar plant at Beypazarı in April 2026, which is expected to support energy costs and increase the share of renewable energy in its operations.
