Egypt: Egypt's cement consumption is expected to drop to 45Mt in 2024, a decrease of 4% from 47Mt in 2023, reports Arab Finance newspaper. According to Ahmed Shireen, head of the cement division at the Federation of Egyptian Industries, the country is also projected to export 15Mt of cement. Local production capacity stands at 92Mt/yr. Recent reductions in transport availability have reportedly been exacerbated by exports, particularly to Libya, causing a significant cement shortage. This has reportedly impacted local construction projects and contributed to a 20% price increase since 1 August 2024.
