Paraguay: Industria Nacional del Cemento (INC) sold 9.85 million bags of cement in the first nine months of 2017, representing 74.6% of its total sales in 2016. The aim is to achieve sales of at least 13.5 million bags in 2017, up from 13.2 million bags sold in 2016.

Driver shortage may affect Polish cement sales

14 September 2017

Poland: A shortage of truck drivers may negatively affect cement sales. Vacancies for drivers have grown to the extent that even migrant workers from the Ukraine are unable to meet demand, according to the Polish News Bulletin newspaper. The exodus of drivers from the Ukraine has also reportedly impacted upon that country’s cement market. Industry sources say that railway transport is unlikely to help the situation due to a lack of loading facilities. Cement production rose by 7% year-on-year to 9.4Mt in 2017. Cement sales are expected to reach 16.5Mt in 2017 and 17.5Mt in 2018.

Czechia: Cement production in Czechia grew by 4.1% year-on-year to 3.94Mt in 2016 as consumption rose by 3.9% from 3.82Mt, according to data from the Association of Cement Producers. The production figure was 17% lower than the country’s record of 4.77Mt that it made in 2007.

Malaysia: Cahya Mata Sarawak's (CMS) net profit jumped more than eight times to US$15.2m in the second quarter of 2017, from US$1.8m in the same quarter of 2016.
