Switzerland: Cement deliveries rose by 1% year-on-year to 0.79Mt in the first quarter of 2025, continuing the upward trend seen in the final quarter of 2024, according to Cemsuisse. It attributed the slight recovery to lower interest rates and rising construction applications in the residential sector, but stated that the coming months would indicate whether the current economic uncertainty will affect activity. In the quarter, 36% of deliveries were made by rail and 64% by road.
