Africa's cement market is booming. Growth is accelerating with new cement expansions and investments across the continent. The housing boom and infrastructure development have prompted governments to source for cement to meet local demand. Investment incentives are rolled out to attract investments into respective countries but with power supply irregularities, how are investors managing? How are local producers coping with the influx of cement when the government lifts the ban on cement?
The Egyptian cement industry has remained strong throughout the global financial downturn. Whilst other countries in the MENA region are threatened by over capacity, exports from Egypt have been banned since April 2009 and the ban will continue until at least Oct 2010. Imports, meanwhile, are still going strong, with some 1 million ton imported in August alone.
