Chile: Cement shipments fell by 14% year-on-year during the first nine months of 2022, to 3.2Mt from 3.7Mt. The La Tercera newspaper has reported that a construction slowdown impacted on the cement sales of all three of Chile’s cement producers. Cbb’s despatches fell by 18%, Cementos Melón’s by 15% and Cemento Polpaico’s by 9.5%. At the same time, the producers’ expenses rose due to increased costs across transportation, raw materials, fuels, labour, administration and finance. Meanwhile, imported cement from Asia reportedly presents a cheaper alternative for customers.
