Spain: Cement consumption rose by 6.5% year-on-year to 7.8Mt in the first six months of 2025, according to the latest data from Oficemen. In June 2025, consumption grew by 14% year-on-year to 1.44Mt. Rolling year consumption between July 2024 and June 2025 reached 15.4Mt, up by 8%. Cement and clinker exports fell by 0.4% in June 2025 to 0.41Mt. Year-to-date exports declined by 5% to 2.31Mt, and rolling year exports dropped by 2% year-on-year to 4.8Mt.
Oficemen general manager Aniceto Zaragoza said “Average daily consumption in June 2025, which only includes weekdays, was somewhat more moderate, with an 8.5% increase. This ‘calendar effect’ is due to the fact that June 2024 had more holidays, with five full weekends coinciding during the month.”
Zaragoza added “Cement consumption has been the most positive trend of the last five years analysed, a trend we expect to continue in the second half of 2025. This growth is also in line with the data on tenders and construction permits for new construction, which have grown by 26% through May 2025 and 9% through April 2025, respectively.”
