PPC raises PPC Zimbabwe stake

21 September 2023

Zimbabwe: South Africa-based PPC has raised its stake in PPC Zimbabwe from 71% to 90%. In an operating update, PPC told investors that PPC Zimbabwe increased its sales by 19% year-on-year in the five months to 31 August 2023. Meanwhile, the group’s South African business raised its sales by 58% year-on-year over the same period. PPC attributed the growth to cost reductions and price increases across both markets, as well as ‘exceptionally strong’ growth in its cement volumes in Zimbabwe.

Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies raises revenues and volumes in first half of 2023

18 September 2023

France: Hoffmann Green Cement Technologies reported revenues of Euro1.68m during the first half of 2023, more than triple those recorded in the first half of 2022 (Euro544,000). The producer’s sales volumes of its clinkerless cement also more than tripled, to 7340t. It says it is on course to achieve its full-year 2023 target of 24,000t. The commissioning of its H2 plant in France raised the company’s installed production capacity by 250,000t.

Co-founders Julien Blanchard and David Hoffmann said "Thanks to the daily work of all our teams, we are accelerating the marketing of our innovative clinker-free cement in a construction market with demand for truly carbon-free solutions. Considering the seasonality of our sales, we intend to intensify the transformation of our order book into sales during the second half of 2023.”

Nigerian cement sales dropped amid currency change in first half of 2023

15 September 2023

Nigeria: Cross-industry body Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) recorded a 30% year-on-year drop in all-Nigeria cement sales during the first half of 2023. MAN attributed the decline to the government’s replacement of the naira with a new central bank digital currency. The Punch newspaper has reported that this ‘wiped out’ some cash-based businesses, including cement retailers. Point of sale charges also increased costs along the supply chain. The association said that the impacts of the policy led manufacturers in some sectors to halt their operations.

Stronger August 2023 fails to halt faltering Brazilian demand for cement

08 September 2023

Brazil: Data from SNIC, the Brazilian Cement Association, shows that cement sales increased by 1% year-on-year in August 2023 to reach 6Mt. From January to August 2023 however, Brazilian cement sales were once again lower year-on-year, falling by 1% to 41.7Mt.

Across Brazil, construction material sales have been impacted by lower disposable income due to inflation, high interest rates and high household debt. However, the New Growth Acceleration Program, a government initiative launched in August 2023, could be a boon for cement sector. It foresees spending of US$280bn between 2023 and 2026. For highways alone, 269 restoration and construction projects are planned and duplication of roads across the country, an investment that could open up opportunities for the use of more economical road solutions, such as rigid concrete pavement.

“The implementation of infrastructure projects with an emphasis on logistics, sanitation and housing could reverse the negative performance of the cement industry recorded until August 2023. Our expectation is that the positive seasonality in sales in the sector will be confirmed in the second half of the year,” said Paulo Camillo Penna, President of SNIC.
