Pakistani cement producers report strong earnings for financial year 2025

29 September 2025

Pakistan: Listed cement producers closed the 2025 financial year (ending 30 June 2025) with their best results in several years, posting a combined after-tax profit of US$593m. This was an increase of 38% from US$431m in the 2024 financial year. Revenue for the sector rose by 7% to US$3.1bn, supported by stronger retention prices, cheaper coal and greater reliance on efficient power sources, which lifted gross margins to 31%. Cement dispatches increased by 2% to 37.4Mt for the year, reflecting a modest rebound in volumes alongside firmer pricing. In the fourth quarter of the 2025 financial year, sales grew 5% year-on-year, with dispatches up 4% to 9.3Mt.

Dangote Cement despatched 481,000t of clinker from Nigeria in first half of 2025

12 September 2025

Nigeria: Dangote Cement despatched 481,000t of clinker from Nigeria to its subsidiaries in Cameroon and Ghana in the first half of 2025, according to its latest activity report. While country-specific volumes were not disclosed, the company said that the supply ensured production continuity in these key markets and helped mitigate volatility in international clinker prices.

The group’s 1.5Mt/yr clinker grinding plant in Douala, Cameroon, sold 687,000t of cement in the first half of 2025, down by 3% from 710,000t in the same period of 2024. Dangote Cement attributed the decline to a temporary slowdown in demand.

Despite this, the outlook remains positive, supported by major infrastructure projects such as the Douala–Yaoundé highway and nationwide road rehabilitation. “These initiatives should maintain sustained cement demand in the medium term, despite uncertainties linked to the general elections scheduled for October 2025,” the report stated.

In Congo, however, sales stagnated at 446,000t in the first half of 2025 due to logistical challenges that limited exports, despite the resumption of public projects.

Looking ahead, Dangote Cement is moving forward with its long-delayed expansion in Cameroon. Bertrand Mbouck, General Manager of Dangote Cement Cameroon, confirmed that construction of a second plant had officially commenced after receiving government approval. The project, first announced in 2015 by Group CEO Aliko Dangote, was originally given a 20-month duration.
