Pakistan: Cement exports in Pakistan fell by 3% year-on-year to 2.46Mt in the first quarter of the 2027 financial year, from July to September 2026. According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), export earnings declined by 4% year-on-year to US$97.3m. The suspension of cement exports to Afghanistan amid tensions between the countries, alongside weaker international prices, contributed to the quarterly decline.
Despite the quarterly decline, September 2026 shipments rose by 10% year-on-year to 732,000t, from 667,500t in September 2025. Export earnings increased by 9% year-on-year to US$28.6m.
