Saudi Arabia: Cement sales revenue is expected to fall quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter of 2018 due to restructuring in the industry and holidays in the period. A report by Al Rajhi Capital found that cement sales volumes fell by 16.7% year-on-year in April and May 2018. 15 cement companies reported falling sales volumes, led by Riyadh Cement and Cement City with 44.1% and 37.5% declines respectively. Only two companies, Tabuk Cement and Hail Cement, reported growth. Total inventory for the industry grew by 1.2% quarter-on-quarter to around 36.2Mt at the end of May 2018.
