CEMROS suspends production at Belgorod plant amid weak national demand

10 July 2025

Russia: CEMROS has suspended cement production at its Belgorod cement plant due to market deterioration, reduced profitability and a rising share of imports on the domestic market. The company said that the forced downtime will be used for equipment repairs, with operations expected to resume within a few months.

Cement consumption in Russia fell by 9% in the first half of 2025, and by 10.5% in the second quarter. Consumption in the Central Federal District, including the Belgorod region, dropped by 12% in June 2025, and by 8% in the Belgorod region itself. CEMROS expects the decline to reach 13-15% by the end of 2025. The producer attributed the decline to high interest rates, the end of preferential mortgage programmes and a slowdown in construction projects. CEMROS said that imports in 2025 have increased year-on-year, with the majority coming from Belarus. Imports from Iran have also increased by 25% since 2024. The producer said that the total volume of imported cement will be around 4Mt by the end of 2025.

CEMROS said that all employees will remain on staff with pay and benefits, and some will be relocated to other plants.

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.

Swiss cement deliveries rise in second quarter of 2025

08 July 2025

Switzerland: Cement deliveries rose by 3% year-on-year to 0.99Mt in the second quarter of 2025, from April – June 2025, confirming a positive trend reversal that began earlier in the year, according to Cemsuisse.

The association called this trend ‘gratifying’, saying that the sector continues to benefit from favourable interest rates, and it expects continued strength in construction for the remainder of 2025. However, it noted a 3% year-on-year decline in the share of cement transported by rail to 35%, attributing this to ‘deteriorating’ rail freight conditions.

02 July 2025

Pakistan: Local cement despatches are expected to fall by 28% month-on-month and 15% year-on-year to 2.63Mt in June 2025, primarily due to reduced working days over the Eid holidays. Daily average sales dropped to 88,000t from 118,000t in May 2025. Provisional data covering 22 days of the month showed 1.75Mt of cement sold, with full-month estimates at 2.5Mt, below the 11-month average of 3.06Mt.

Total sales for June 2025 are forecast at 3.54Mt, flat year-on-year but down 24% from May 2025. Sector capacity utilisation is projected at 52%, down from 68% in May 2025. For the 2024–25 fiscal year, total cement sales are expected to remain flat, with a 5% drop in local sales and a 30% rise in exports. Analysts anticipate recovery in the 2026 financial year, supported by improved macroeconomic conditions and lower interest rates.

Indonesian cement demand down 5% in May 2025

25 June 2025

Indonesia: Cement consumption fell by 5% year-on-year to 5.18Mt in May 2025, despite rising 32% month-on-month following Eid al-Fitr, according to Kontan.co.id news. The annual drop reflects ongoing purchasing power challenges, longer holidays and routine demand from the construction of the country’s new capital city at Nusantara.

Java remained the top sales region at 2.73Mt, down by 6% year-on-year. Sales outside Java also declined by 3% to 2.45Mt. Bagged cement consumption fell by 4% to 3.69Mt, while bulk cement demand dropped by 6% to 1.49Mt. Cumulative sales from January to May 2025 stood at 22.27Mt, down 2% year-on-year, compared to a 1% decline in the January–April period.

Equity research analyst Andreas Saragih at Mirae Aset Sekuritas said “Although there was a deeper contraction, we are of the view that the achievement is relatively in line with expectations, because it is equivalent to 35% of our 2025 cement sales estimate.”
