Written by Global Cement staff 08 April 2019

Pakistan: Cement despatches fell by 9% year-on-year to 34.6Mt in the nine months to the end of March 2019 from 34.8Mt in the same period to March 2018. Data from the All Pakistan Cement Manufacturers Association (APCMA) shows that despatches and exports fell in both the north of the country but that despatches fell and exports rose in the south. Exports more than doubled in the south to 3.14Mt. This was due to a reported start in seabourne clinker sales in the 2018 – 2019 year. Otherwise, overall cement exports to Afghanistan and India declined.
