Argentine cement shipments rise in June 2025

10 July 2025

Argentina: Cement shipments rose by 12% year-on-year to 0.81Mt in June 2025, according to Portland Cement Manufacturers Association (AFCP) data. The total includes 0.81Mt for domestic use, up 12% year-on-year, and 5250t for export. Imports, which recently returned after a six-year absence, rose by 82% to 147t. Shipments totalled 4.81Mt in the first half of 2025, up by 13% from the same period in 2024.

However, analysts expect ‘weak and erratic’ growth ahead. “The halt in public works, the elimination of the exchange rate gap that prevents reducing costs in dollars in a sector with a high level of informality, and the fall in housing prices are affecting construction,” said consulting firm LCG.

Cement shipments decline in Argentina

05 November 2024

Argentina: Cement shipments remained below pandemic and pre-pandemic levels in October 2024, which marked the sixth decline so far in 2024, according to Clarion newspaper. October 2024 saw shipments down by 20% year-on-year and 1.1% month-on-month, according to the Portland Cement Manufacturing Association (AFCP). In October 2024, sales dropped to 907,421t. 7.9Mt of cement was sold in the first 10 months of 2024 compared to 10.7Mt in the same period in 2023. Consumption also suffered a year-on-year decrease of 20% ​​and a monthly decline of 1.3%. The industry attributes the downturn primarily to a halt in national public works, as well as rising costs such as taxes on limestone and quarry exploitation fees.

Damián Altgelt, executive director of AFCP, said "The cement sector is going through a difficult year, with a drop of close to 25% compared to 2023. We confidently hope that the macroeconomic measures that the government is undertaking will allow us to overcome this transition period soon and recover the highest levels of activity again. In the past four months we have seen around 0.9Mt of cement sold (per month), which is clearly higher than the very depressed levels we had in the first half of 2024.”
