Kazakhstan: Steppe Cement has announced unaudited results for the year to 31 December 2025. It reported a revenue of US$100m, which was 33% higher in local currency terms than the US$84m recorded in 2024. The company sold 2.07Mt of cement, all of it to the domestic market. This was 21% more than the 1.71Mt sold in 2024. The company said that this had been achieved due to several incremental process improvements over the past two years. The plant is reported to be operating at maximum capacity.

The Kazakh market consumed 14.5Mt of cement in 2025, a 22% rise compared to 11.9Mt in 2024. The rise was mostly due to strong housing construction. Steppe Cement's share of the domestic market was 14.3%, versus 14.5% in the prior year.

Total cement imports into Kazakhstan were estimated at 1.0Mt in 2025, a 43% increase compared with 0.7Mt in 2024. Cement exports amounted to 0.7Mt/yr, a 22% fall compared to 0.9Mt in 2024.

Tajikistan: The Huaxin Gayur JV cement plant, a joint venture between China with Tajikistan, has reported that it aims to achieve an output valued at over US$80m in 2026, its first full year of operation. According to local press in the Sughd region, the 3300t/day (1Mt/yr) plant aims to sufficiently meet domestic market demand for cement, reducing reliance on imports, while creating new jobs. It makes 400, 500 and 600 grades of cement in compliance with international standards, making the products competitive in global markets.

Kenya: The latest data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that production of and demand for cement both rose significantly in the first 11 months of 2025. Production for the 11 months reached 9.49Mt, a 17% increase compared to 8.09Mt in the first 11 months of 2024. Demand rose by 20% year-on-year over the same time period, from 7.79Mt in the first 11 months of 2024 to 9.34Mt in the first 11 months of 2025.

The parallel rise in both production and consumption of cement reflects strong construction sector growth supported by ongoing public infrastructure projects, private real estate developments and a gradual recovery in housing activity. Record monthly production levels in several months of 2025 suggest that manufacturers have ramped up output to meet sustained demand.
