Pakistan: Cement export earnings rose to US$42.6m in October 2025, the highest monthly level in 11 years, according to brokerage firm Topline Securities. The rise reflects renewed export momentum attributed to supply-side disruption from European exporting markets. Export despatches fell by 23% year-on-year to 827,000t from 1.08Mt in October 2024, while total cement despatches rose by 6% to 4.75Mt and local dispatches rose by 15% to 3.93Mt, according to data from the All Pakistan Cement Manufacturers Association (APCMA). This was reportedly driven by strong domestic demand despite the continued drop in export volumes.
