News Brazilian cement sales reach record high

Brazilian cement sales reach record high

Brazil: Cement sales increased to 6.2Mt in August 2024, marking the highest monthly sales since October 2014, when sales reached 6.7Mt. This 10-year peak reflects a 5% month-on-month and 3% year-on-year increase, spurred by dry weather and a robust real estate sector, according to data released by the National Union of the Cement Industry (SNIC).

All regions in Brazil reported sales growth, with the highest sales in the north and northeast and a recovery in the south after the floods in Rio Grande do Sul. Year-to-date sales reached 43Mt, up by 3% from 2023.

However, concerns about prolonged dry spells potentially affecting electricity prices and logistics are emerging, with SNIC stating in a press release "The announcement of the increase in the red flag energy bill in Brazil due to the lack of rainfall is already causing concern for the cement sector, both in terms of production costs and logistics. Brazil is facing the worst drought in history in 2024 and this could have an impact on cement sales, especially in the north."
